Probably The Worst $1000 Custom Knife in the World!
This knife is made by the "knifemaker" that goes by the name Apeiron Bladeworks, the model is called Ganondorf.
It is a knife that a buddy of mine ordered from the "maker" for $1000 and when it arrived he found out all sorts of issues that you don't see on a $10 gas station knife these days - bladeplay, wrong lock geometry and a blade that was either not heat treated properly or not heat treated at all (tests showed 39HRC).
When my friend asked the maker to fix those issues - the knife was sent to AB and came back in the same condition. Then the maker suggested that he uses pieces of bubblegum to stick the stop pin (didn't believe it myself until I saw the transcripts).
Then the "maker" made some inappropriate remarks and accusations and then cursed the client and blocked him.
I didn't realize how bad was this knife until I got to hold it in the hand.
It was made either by a clueless guy or by a guy who doesn't give a damn.
So, be aware and cautious when ordering custom knives and know who you are dealing with when ordering from Apeiron Bladeworks.

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
