What's wrong with you guys?

[Dave Martell]

I don't see any of you selling a $51,000 knife! :razz:

 

[Dave Martell]

That's impressive though, huh? Wish we could all have that success.

 

[Michael Rader]

I do all the time... Did you mean pesos?

Ever think about putting up an auction site here, Dave? You keep 5% and funnel 5% to a list of different charitys the winner can choose from and the maker keeps the rest. I know we wouldn't be talking these kinda numbers, but...

We could do that we the raffle section. If you any of you guys have an extra knife, or try something new that wasn't ordered, etc; we can raffle it. Just have to figure out what you need to get out of it, add the 5% and 5% or whatever for charity/site costs, and divide by the number of tickets to make each one reasonable. If we don't sell all the tickets we dont raffle it, so there isn't a risk you sell a $900 knife for 40 bucks.

 

[Dave Martell]

Exactly! I hope some of you guys try it out eventually.

 

[Dave Martell]

For you knifemakers you could consider this a chance to try something a little bolder, maybe something higher end that you wouldn't normally do and go for it.

Well, I don't get distracted by Kramer auctions. Bob's clientele is outside forums, so to replicate his success, one has to offer a comparable product and market outside. First, a product.

I think I can get a custom order kitchen knife in Tamahagane made by a very famous Sword Smith.
But I do not know if there is a market for it.
