Joe, as I said earlier, I am very new (about 18 months) making knives. I have been attracted to the "period" pieces I see different places, and have been trying to learn how to make this type of item. I only do it for myself, have given a lot of stuff to friends and family. In the last month I've been asked to bring some items for "show and tell" at a club I belong to. The period stuff got lots of comments from everyone. Not many people have seen this type of item before, and it appeals to hunters, muzzleloaders, and people who like Western/Native American items.With no marketing or pushing anything on anyone, I've sold 6 pieces, no problem. With your skill and talent, you would be surprised how you would do. Dont be shy, give it a shot. I dont want to digress too much from the thread, if you want send me a PM and we can chew the fat, maybe I can get my wife to post some pictures of what I've been doing. Glad to share any info on this.
