Have you tried to get a partnership through a dealer online? I know some of the custom knife makers (Gene Wiseman comes to mind) make a lot of their knives and sell through dealers. That seems like a way to get your product to a wider audience.
Bladeforums, as great a site as it is, only caters to its' members, not the internet at large. You're preaching to the converted here, John. I buy knives from you even though I don't necessarily need them, because they are great products at a great price. But your forum for the most part is saturated with people that already know about your knives, and have bought many over the years. You're only going to sell so many to them. You have to have a better presence outside the forum for your online presence to grow.
