I just don't understand how you can make that for $155 and keep making more. That's an insanely low price for the kind of work that went in to this knife.
 
Mr dan graves does it in damascus,how can he do it???? And his knives are alot more time consuming,thanks la

One thing is for sure, you are definitely going to sell your stuff. You're never going to sit on a knife for a long time wishing you had money instead.

While higher prices might make your knives sit around for a while longer, in the end, when it actually does sell, it will give you a higher "per-hour" wage.

I bet if you raised your current prices right away by just 10 to 20%, nobody will even notice, especially with all of the detail work done on a knife like this. $175 is still a great deal for this knife. If you continue to sell your blades at the slightly higher prices, after a time you might want to consider another increase. $195 is still within reason for this knife, in my opinion.

It seems to me, It's after knives go above $250 or so that people start to hesitate. And of course, once you hit the $500 to $5000 range, you have to really seek out buyers.

Of course, I'm not really a knifemaker, but I am a craftsman who spends a lot of time dealing with pricing and dealing with prospective buyers.
