Justin Cook is the most talented knapper that I've ever seen.  I don't think he's a part of this site so you may want to support someone here but his work is pretty outstanding and he can do lots of styles/shapes and higher end techniques if you desire. If I recall correctly he charges ~$20-30 per inch depending on the work requested.

First post Gunnar, way to get after it. If you don't find what you need I know a guy in Pendleton that might show you how to knap your own.

Another guy, who is the best I have ever seen, is Mike Cook of Michigan.  His website is artofishi.com .
