That seems like straight forward, clean definition and I understand why you phrased it just that way based on the earlier discussions. I think we could use that as it is but I'd like for you to examine one further idea.
I am loathe to pass up the opportunity to have a definition of custom that relates to the classical meaning of the term, namely that the individual making the specification is someone other than the knife maker. Let's broaden our scope for the moment and consider the term 'Custom Made' which also dates to knife making antiquity and has essentially the same defintion in the dictionary. Could we not use definition #2 to define one of these terms and your definition for the other? As has been pointed out earlier common useage in specific professions often leads to targeted useage of certain common words. I believe this is an opportunity for us to fine tune these words for knife makers.
How's that sit with everyone?
