Hi guys! Asking for a buddy.
He has been making custom knives for years with a forge and high carbon steel files, etc and putting deer handles on them, curly maple, etc. and now venturing into buying old axes and refinishing them to hopefully flip them but now he is having second thoughts on if there is a market and what to price them at. I have handled some of his stuff and I must say its amazing!!
Would you guys care to share thoughts on if its worth making and selling these and how to get it out there? also what kind of pricing should he be looking at? The knives are either home forged blades or blades purchased and handles and sheaths made from scratch along with the farrow rods. The axes have been purchased in horrible condition and refinished and most are very old and high end names like manns. The red ax has been refinished. He is debating on driving 3hrs to some swap meet to try and sell some stuff but just trying to get an idea first.
Your thoughts are welcome.
