I might add that I make small knives I sell for about $60 to $100, I call them my smalls. I don't go overboard on finish or too much tooling or carving on the sheaths. In Florida my filet knives fetch about $150 and one I traded for a guided fishing trip as the skipper had never had a custom knife that went through 80 fish without being sharpened every 5 to 8 fish. That trip was worth $300 for my son and I @ $150 each, there were 4 others on the boat as well. I caught I do not know how many fish, but many were out of season so we had to throw back the groupers.

Try opening an account on Etsy and you can open an account on Amazon as well as Ebay. But don't expect to get high prices I'm sorry to say. I target guys who would like a custom knife but don't have $300 to put on one hence my smalls. I have sold a viking axe with matching knife for $300 and a kitchen set for $400 are my high ones. Doesn't happen very often.
