It’s okay to not ruin your hobby by monetizing it.
I would love to make knives but I know I’ll do it once and then spend a bunch of money on better stuff and never do it again.
My success story is drumming. I’ve been doing it 5 days a week since I bought the kit in the pandemic. People always ask me if I’m going to play in a band (I used to play guitar in a couple local go-nowhere acts). That time of my life is over for now though, I just enjoy getting incrementally better at it.
Hope the next knife you make is really dope and you feel really good about it.
I don't do any kind of marketing beyond "oh yeah, I make knives too" and I am always fairly loose with deadlines specifically because I don't want it to feel like a job.
I never really thought to myself "I'm gonna make money off this" but I know I could if I actually tried to.
Not sure what the next knife I make will be, but I will most likely be using my forge welded 15n20/1084 billet. So regardless, it'll look pretty sweet
