There are a lot of things that affect the market. I go to several shows and the price varies as to the people attending and the type of show. You also have to take into consideration weather you have built any reputation . I can't sell a folder for as much as someone like Don or Tod Davision, or Bruce Bump can. I simply don't have the experience and reputation they do. You said you are a newer maker so that does effect the price.

I can only say that in the markets I would sell in and with the competition out there, you'd be pretty high for price. I recommend before you try selling you go to some shows and take a look at your competition. That will tell you a lot. As you gain experience you will become quicker at producing a knife and the profite will get better.

Ultimately, if you can get someone to pay a price and they are happy and you are happy then that's a good starting place.
