First knife sold

Yesterday I sold this one for 150$. It's the first I sell. I sure hope the buyer is going to enjoy the knife.

Merry x-mas and a happy new year to all of you.

Mr Hansen I can't think of anyone who wouldn't enjoy such a fine piece of craftsmanship. You've done yourself proud and getting paid for is the icing on the cake. (sure feels good though don't it!)

Great looking knife. Congratulations on your first sale.

There is a lot that goes through your mind when someone buys your first knife. The one you should consentrate on is the pride in knowing that someone else appreciates your work as much as you do.

Congratulations, that's a really good looking knife. I think you probably just earned a return customer.

Congrats!

I had trouble with my first few sales...I was too darned in love with my own knives...didn't want to part with them!

I discovered it was something I was just going to have to get over if I wanted to make any money at this...at the very least, to help pay for all the materials and equipment (and all the goodies on my wish list).

I'm sure you had some "pangs" in parting with this handsome knife. I especially like the mosaic pins...perfectly oriented I might add

Good luck on your future sales...with product like this I'm sure you'll have no trouble at all (except for those occasional pangs... )

Dennis

Yeah Baby!

Thumbs up made your XMas !!

Congrats, looks like it would have made your customer's XMas as well !! That is a fine piece - clean, crisp and looks an honest working type too ! You'll always remember that first sale. Keep up the good work and show us when you can. Cheers.
