Its too bad that some my favorite small boutique putter artists Ken Edmiston, Ken Murray, Bellum Wincome and Buzelli no longer are active in this competitive business. (At least I don't think they are still active.)
Artists that are still churning out beautiful and functional pieces of are that I like are Rip Tide, Lajosi, Xeon and Lamont Mannkraft.
Attached is a 2014 Bellum Wincome Model 747 "murdered out" dark PVD 303 stainless steel Laguna style with black paint fill and black shaft.
One sexy looking putter and one of my favorites.

Oh man.

LaMont still does amazing work, and has always been amazing to me.

Happy to see Low Tide operating again.

Lajosi I’ve not worked with in a few years but it still plugging away.

Clay Long is now doing boutique work, and he’s an absolute legend.

Kevin Burns is making beautiful putters and I’m sure I’ll eventually get mine, I went crazy on options so his description of it is “monolithic” :ROFLMAO:

Cody James and Olson are the top of the boutique game now imo, it’s it’s getting to where it’s not close.
 
Really like my Kraken Lightning Carbon Steel Putter.

Boutique side Olsen and Cody James are top. NCW has some cool things. Would love to see TP Mills make a comeback
 
Cody James also.

Wow, Cody James, simply awesome!

Always been a Clay Long fan and have had a few Personal Series SS's.
Jmann ... Does Kevin Burns still do the hidden inserts? Not 100% sure Low Tide is still active.
LaMont is the best and super humble.
I suppose I'm a Sub <$500.00 putter collector-type.
I should have probably shown the bottom of the BW 747, so here are some.

The Cody James bumpers and thick top line in this Dale Head style looks like the Bellum Winsome Cloverdale.
303 SS with light glass bead or star shot.

I really enjoyed Gene Nead’s putters. I am a bit biased based on us crossing paths in previous careers...

Doesn’t look like he is building putters anymore but if the right one showed up, i’d be real tempted...

I’m not sure if he does, I’d bet he would still do one.

Low Tide is 100% active.
 
Just played a round with one of the owners of National Custom Works. They 3D print all of their putters using 420 SS infused with bronze/copper. Check out their IG: @ncw_putters

Yup, they do some awesome stuff putter wise, and the NCW irons....
 
Does Seemore count?

That's about it. The other boutique companies don't entice me at all.
 
If I went for one... Goodwood golf!

X is right, seeing his putter in person was insane. The work that he is doing it’s amazing, almost like a modern technique but with a retro design flair. They are awesome.
 
Cody James stuff is quality. No doubt.
 
I have looked at some of the offerings from Kronos Golf.
