Very nice Randall, you don't do this for a living ? An old friend of mine does well at it and his work commands a good price.. Most I would assume become heirlooms or part of collections.. Here's his link, http://vandeventerknives.com/HunterUtility.html
I was looking at this section when copied..
He is an ABS master smith, I started out forging knives and now I do it just very seldom. ABS master Smiths get top dollar for there knives because they are good and have the ABS Master credentials to back it up, the last I looked a few years ago, there were only a few hundred ABS masters in the US maybe less I cant remember now.
I do not do this for a living, I do it for a hobby, something to keep me busy and out of trouble. I tinkered with the thought of getting serious a few years ago and picked up the custom orders but it became stressful and I decided to back off. Now I'm trying a new approach just make the knives I want to tinker with and try and sell them, usually I have no problems doing so, and if and when I do I have a lot of friends that will take one in a heart beat.
