Design Knife

Is there a site where I can design my own knife?
I had a few good Ideas for custom knives but Im in no position so be making them myself, I just would like to know if there are any sites that would make and sell it to me. Im a huge collector and already have about 300+ cluttering my room, there all nice and everything but I just wanted to make a separate collection of my own custom designs.
If you can make drawings of your knives, on the paper, or in the comp, using cad or any other tool, there are a lot of custom makers who would be willing to work with you.
They will help with both, material choice and knife design aspects.
I’ve done that quite a few times, with US and Japanese makers, it’s not that complicated.
If it is purely artistic design, then I figure the steel doesn’t matter, you can go with the cheapest available option.
If you intend to use the knife, then the choice of the steel will be very important. I can tell you upfront, there is no “best knife steel”. Different knives benefit from different steels. Obviously, heat treatment is also crucial, this is where the choice of the maker and his experience with particular steel comes into play.
Here’s knife steel FAQ for you to get you started – http://www.zknives.com/knives/articles/knifesteelfaq.shtml
So, you can search for custom knife makers on the web, alternatively check out knife makers subforum on bladeforums – http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=789
There are a lot of makers chatting, posting their work, etc, sure yo can pick someone to work with you on that project.
