I make knives and swords as a hobby.
Really what that means is unless someone comes up and asks me to make one for them, about twice a year I get super into it, disappear for 5-10 days, and come out with a smattering of different styles to hopefully sell.
Usually I end up making things for Christmas and birthdays to give away, so I don't actually make any money off the hobby.
There's also a pile of clothes sitting in my corner I probably won't think about again today, and I actually do need to wash dishes....
I came here to laugh, damn 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
