Am I the only knife maker out there who isn't really into knives? I like them as well as the next guy, I guess, but I have no interest in collecting them or owning more of them than I'll use. Outside of the kitchen, that means about 3. I'm "into" them BECAUSE I make them (and I LOVE making them), not the other way around. I think this may make me an oddball in this crowd. Even weirder, I make hunting knives almost exclusively and don't even really hunt anymore.
I make them because 1) I like making stuff, 2) I can make them a bit at a time as spare time allows, 3) I make enough money doing it to keep the hobby going and take my wife out to dinner, and 4) I'm pretty good at it. Making them is great, and maybe the only hobby I've ever had that I'll stick with long term.
If there are more of you out there like me, maybe we could start a support group!
