After nearly 6 years of knifemaking, I sold my first $500 knife today.

Good for you! Kind of make you feel like you arrived. Don't forget to pay the 10% for rejoicing........

Hi Jason. With the quality of work you are doing, I honestly thought you had done that long ago. Keeping prices at a "reasonable" (?) level allows a maker to move ahead without the fear of over pricing and creating a false level of value.
CONGRATULATIONS, Jason !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Frank

Jason,
Congrats!
Doesn't it feel great to make a quality product and sell it for a solid price!

I am fairly competitively priced, maybe 5-10% low, on my "regular" pieces, say 300 and below. However, I had multiple wise old men fuss at me at the last show for being 20-25% low on my pieces in the higher range, $400+. Kind of like Frank Niro said, I am confident in my value at the mid ranges. I am not quite confident in my product at the high end ranges, yet. Based on the old men's advice, I cranked my prices a little on a few of the higher pieces. Listening to them already made me an extra $100 this week.

The knife was the stag and damascus takedown that I posted in the classifieds. Sold it to a guy on the Texas Hunting Forum.

Congrats. Looks like it could have brought more to me.

You're the 73rd "wise old man" to tell me that.

 

[Bruce Bump]

My theory is If it don't sell just raise the price. What do ya have to lose?
