Affirmation...

[Osbourn]

I've been working on a batch of six small knives to experiment and work on my fit and finish. They all have three-finger handles of assorted materials. Four are drop points, one is a recurve and one is a clip point. Blade lengths are all three inches. I've put about 16 hours into them now, total, not counting draw times.
I've gotten to the point of final shaping and sanding on the handles, and decided to show them to some people that I know have an interest in knives, and now FOUR of the six are spoken for! Three to a lady that ordered a custom for her man for Yule, and one to a lady that's bought two of my stock blades in the past.
Made me feel good, so I had to share.
I'll post pics when I finish them.

Congratulations Oz! I need to stop chasing my tail and do the same! It feels great to have someone want to buy something you've made. If I ever want to build this hydraulic press I'd better work harder at selling knives too!
