if its purely for convincing then jump onto a real high class makers website and show her one of there special knives that are priced at $2500 and tell her thats the average going price for normal hand made knives, im sure she'll be supportive then

i have not ever made a blade of any kind. i am trying to get all the tools to start bladesmithing. but i have already had someone that i work with say that he will buy knives from me but i would have no idea were to start with pricing so if someone has a pricing chart that they reference to i ask that they share or give me something to guide me.

In my experience, those people are all mouth and zero wallet.

They have zero idea on the price of quality steel or handle material let alone the time it takes to produce a good knife and if you do make something for them, they can't be found.


That may be cynical, but it's a behaviour that you have to account for.

Make some knives and get good at it, but don't count on those sales $

^ya i will it has happened to me before with other things...... but i just want to say and it is off topic but i looked at pics on the F Book page and i cant decide weather the steel or the leather work is better that the other it is just all a work of fine art and i look fowerd to make things like that.
