True enough but a one central building is not the business and can come second....a grinding motor, a blower, drill for tang holes etc...electricity etc is what speeds production, or gives us our shiny knives and saves somebody else a lot of pedal power...a couple of sheltered huts would work for that....until a larger facility can be built, or smaller with later expansion....meanwhile money must flow to keep folk there, and a product flow established within some forecast of how long existing stocks will hold out counting transit time and outflow over here....even a trickle coming in would help in forestalling depletion of on-hand stocks....and many older kamis accustomed to individual small hut forging operation anyhow....but the power and equipment is what is needed for those high-gloss knives which sell so well here....i even have an eggbeater drill i could donate to them but imagine by time it shipped and arrived, they would be laughing in completed and lit large shop....
I guess what i am saying is large central building with power and tools is not essential, but sure will help in getting what sells over here in sufficient numbers over long haul to keep business sound and kamis and sheath makers and handle experts from looking for greener pastures, but even a small hut with power and tools is needed for volume to pick up.....i do not and have not ever expected a complete stoppage of knives making it over here as long as there is a Nepal and a way to get them shipped. They will be ok so long as money keeps flowing...money flow is blood flow to a business....
