Default Help with custom knife maker..?

With all the knowledgeable knife folks here, I’m hoping someone might be able to identify this knife maker.. bowie type knife with logo that is stamped with the outline of the state of Texas with the letter “Y” in the center.

Here’s a photo of the logo stamping... sorry for the quality but there was a ton of glare.

Thanks!

I think there used to be a list of makers marks around on the Blade forum or a link to it. I use my name as do a lot of others, just because a symbol or the like isn't much of a clue and there are a lot of knife makers.

If its an etched on Logo the stencil may have been made by Knifemaker Logo
He makes great stencils and is use by a lott of makers, I use his stencils. He has a couple of pages of makers stencils under Knife maker fingerprint. But, its far from all of them. But, you could email him. He is a great guy and has a great memory. I got a new batch of stencils a while back and when I emailed him he immediately knew who I was and had a copy of mine on file.

You can contact Jason Fry, custom knife maker and current President of the Texas Knifemaker's Guild. He might recognize the logo.

Thanks, I tried bladeforums but no answers yet.

The logo is stamped, not etched or stenciled.
