Roland,
No one has mentioned anything about abandoning BF, and I will (eventually) be posting more of my blades here as they come along. However my shop time is very limited, and often dominated by commissions so its not always very often that I have available blades.
I have told you, I am a very patient person and I am sure someone will want to purchase these blades, be it here or elsewhere. I'll continue to keep the posting around for potential customers to see until that time, and at the very least, people get to enjoy my work through the pictures.
I do question why you thought it necessary to bring up your pricing suggestion here, seeing as we have already discussed this same exact matter in private. I don't think a public for sale forum is the appropriate place to discuss a sellers pricing, nor do I think it is the most respectful thing to bring up in a seller's listing.
However, since you brought this up I do feel the need to address this.
Firstly, while I may not be well known around Blade Forums, I am far from an un-established maker, these are not the first knives I have made, and are certainly not the first knives I have sold. I have sold quite a few knives for a good deal more than these and don't see the need to start over with my pricing. The quality of my work justifies my pricing structure, and I as a maker have the right to set whatever prices I wish on my work.
The prices for these knives are quite fair for what they are, the skill necessary to produce them and the quality of the craftsmanship. I always try to set a fair price for my work. I dont try to stiff people, take people, rip them off, make off like a bandit, or whatever saying one prefers. I dont make knives for the money, I make them because it is what I love doing, I make blades to make the best knife I possibly can, and to grow and spread the craft of bladesmthing to others. Selling my work is a way to recuperate some of the large investments Ive made in my shop, and to give me some funding to continue on with it (and help fund some of life as well). I never try to be excessive in my pricing, and always try to price within the market. But at the same time, with the vast amounts of work and time and care I put into my blades, I refuse to cut myself short and give my work away for practically nothing. This would be a disservice to myself, to my work, and to those customers who would wish to collect my work. There are some makers out there who charge practically nothing for good quality work, this doesnt make a great deal of sense, but that is up to them to decide and their right to do so. At the same time there are those out there who do marginal quality blades who ask a fortune (no one here that I have seen, but there are a few you run across on the internet). I try to ask what is fair, plain and simple.
Yes drastically cutting the price of these blades would help them sell faster, but then what would be the point of selling the knives, that just removes the incentive to part with them. If someone just wants a knife for the best deal there are plenty of factories that churn them out for cheap. People buy custom knives for the quality, materials, craftsmanship, and very often, aesthetic beauty of a custom blade that sets it apart from other knives. The quality of these blades and the work and skill that went into making them more than easily justifies their price, it is a fair price, and it is the price I stand by.
I hope this did not come across as an attack on you, or harsh in any way, because I did not intend for it to be. I just wanted to provide some insight into my reasoning.
And btw, I personally havent seen very many comparable integrals to these around, Id be interested in seeing others, the integral is always something that has fascinated me and I havent seen a great deal in this size or style (or really all that many integral bolster knives in general, comparitavily of course).
). My work is warrantied for as long as I am still alive and able to make knives, so if it fails because of poor workmanship, I will repair or replace it, no if's and's or but's about it. AND if you purchase one of my knives and are unsatisfied with it in any way whatsoever, send it back and I'll give you a full and complete refund.
. Someday maybe
