I found liability insurance for knifemakers!!!
I have been thinking about this thread for a while. When I was selling at ren-faires, I belonged to a living history group that provided a very nice liability policy for only $100/yr. They covered me at both ren-faires, and science-fiction events (future history)
Since I am closing my storefront soon, I have been considering at least part-time blacksmithing (and maybe eventually a little knifemaking). I called the company and inquired. I explained that knifemaking is a perfect example of a continuing living history. They will cover knifemakers (and blacksmiths) at shows, even though it isn't specifically a historical event!!!!! The group is Old West Living History Foundation. They can be contacted at: 1130 Sheridan Ave. Suite 160 Cody, Wyoming 82414 (307) 587-1872 or Fax (307) 587-1875. http://www.oldwest.org Essentually the insurance is 2 part. Part 1: The policy provides a $5,000,000.00 spectator and general liability insurance policy anytime during our season that you are participating in your living history mission with NO DEDUCTIBLE. General Liability: This coverage protects your business from claims arising from alleged bodily injury, personal injury or property damage. Part 2: SPECTATOR and GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE: This protects you in the event of an injury to a spectator while you are reenacting or performing your living history mission. This coverage is included with all memberships. The policy is with St. Paul Fire & Marine. The coverage has a $5,000,000.00 occurrence limit with $6,000,000.00 general aggregate. There is no deductible. They also provide personal insurance, but only at shows. This is how they describe themselves. Quote:
