I'm sure most will not post, but for those that do I'm just wondering what your occupation is. It might be fun to know what kind of people buy my knives.
Needless to say, I make knives, but have also taken on a night job in security for a large retail chain.
 
I was an Army medic for 8 years (13 months in Iraq at 19 as a trauma team leader and assistant NCOIC of a trauma facility). When I got back from Iraq I became a medical instructor, went back to school and now I am a network engineer.
 
CAD/CAM Programmer for a Granite, Quartz and Marble fabrication shop.
I program a CNC machine that cuts and fabricates stone.

Its amazing watching the machine work because it uses 34 different tools and knows which one to use in what situation.
It knows where to go on the table down to a millimeter.

I could cut and fabricate an entire kitchen in about 4 hours.
 
I make tonneau cover for pick up truck , using solar panels So you have 120 volt power ( like a generator really)
 
General contractor....little bit of everything. Remodel, repair, build. One day I might be doing some plumbing, the next maybe tiling a floor or doing electrical work. Love working for myself. Lots of satisfaction:-)
 
I'm a Senior Industrial Hygienist for an Environmental Health & Industrial Hygiene consulting firm. I do a little of everything. Today I was doing a certification of a chemo preparation isolation cabinet in a hospital pharmacy. Earlier in the week I was evaluating/testing the efficacy of filtration in a manufacuting clean-room. Tomorrow I may be crawling around under a house to aleviate the fears of a new mother about the mold in her crawlspace and its effect on the inddor air quaility of the home or conductings employe exposure monitoring in a manlufacturing facility. It's something different nearly every day. I've been with the firm for 10 years in June so the owner does allow me some flexibility with my schedule and it's hard to get bored. But what my wife doesn't understand is the stress of having a new job and new "boss" everyday. I've got two sets of management (ours and the client's I consulting for) to keep happy and answer to.
 
Well, right now I'm a nurse/care coordinator that also owns a dog grooming shop. Happily, the shop is doing well enough that it looks like I will simply be full time owner of a grooming shop in the next few months.
 
Liquor store. Just moved and this market is tough. Going back to school next year for computer science.

I teach at a anthropology university.

Cool. I was an anthropology major the first time I went through college. Absolutely loved it, but never did anything with it professionally.
Went back to school a few years ago in Integrated Marketing Communication, and now do marketing for a furniture company.
 
I'm just a no good truck driver.
 
I drink, buy knives, guns and books. Put up with two crazy dogs. Kill what meat I can every year for the freezer and deal with a nagging wife day after day...back to one. Life's been good to me so far.
 
I'm a drug and alcohol counselor and manage a residential treatment center for teens. And I'm super big into cutlery...
