There ought to be tons of makers in OK. The Tulsa show would be a good place to start looking for local guys. There is a knifemaker under almost every rock, just got to turn over the right one. Don't dispare just keep looking.
As far as "special knife", I think if you do the research you will find someone has been there and done that. Might not be exactly the same but will most likely be only an embellishment difference. I've been making knives for 50+ years and every "new and exciting" design has been eventually unearthed at a anthropoligical dig some primitive tooled artisian decided to make centuries ago. Knives are one of the first manufactored tools........followed hammers by just a few licks!
Hope you find someone close to help you out. Just keep looking, they are not going to come knock on your door.

Thanks Patrick, see you in a couple of weeks.
