I think of knife buyers and collectors not within the genre that you represent, are your customers young hip-hopers. Dont take this wrong I am very interested in marketing and where the markets are moving and certainly video and social networking is growing into a marketing outlet, probably because we turn all of our public venues into marketing.
Thanks for the post and comments,,,they are much appreciated.
I have been a professional knifemaker for over 11 years.
I have designed over Fifty Factory Collaborations.
I represent no genre...The only criteria for being a SnodyKnives client is having money in your pocket.$$
If you have $199.00 in your pocket then I am your Huckleberry.
I have over 300 knifemaking videos and the music varies from The Eagles, Hank Jr, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Calle 13, Metallica, Soundgarden, Saliva, to Jay Z and Jay ton...
We have videos dove hunting/testing knives, fishing/testing knives, hog skinning/testing knives, deer hunting/testing knives, preparing meals in the kitchen/testing knives, BBQ/testing knives, Hot Girls/Testing Knives, Crackheads/Testing Knives, Ghetto Gear etc...
If you google "snody knife" you will see what I mean.
The music in the videos is the shop music we were listening to at the time..
I might have a dozen homies in my shop at any given time and we listen to a variety of music..
I am an independent artist who builds cutting tools..
I offer everything from traditional straight razors to swords.
I do not take orders, I build speculation knives and sell them when they are completed.
I have built and sold well over 400 knives in the last 4 months..
I am just trying to make a living and support a family of four.
I am here to learn from other makers and form alliances with individuals who wish to expand the knife market beyond the traditional demographic boundaries..
I have clients who wear $60, 000.00 watches, I have clients with diamonds on their teeth and I have clients who work at Burger King and live with their mom.
I dont discriminate, alienate or hate on anyone...I want everyones support.
Thanks again for your post..
Much Respect...
