Need Help Pricing Knives

[Mr. Whiskers]

My Dad has started making knives as a source of a little retirement income. He just made this folder and asked me what it’s worth. What would you pay and feel like a decent price is? EDC 440SS Acrylic scales with SS Bolsters
Much appreciated

I’d say it’s a decent start but not one that should be listed for sale. It should go in your pocket.

Wow! That's some nice work for a 1st Mitch!

[RattlesnakeDan]

Very nice!
I think each knife maker has to find their price point by looking at other knife makers, compare their workmanship, originality etc... in other words, I think it is hard for us to give it a value, try listing it for a time in various places and see the response.

Does he put a proof mark? Is it locking?

[Quackerbox]

That's pretty legit

He’s looking for around 125.00 per knife. Would you feel comfortable with that? Again, thanks for the responses.

Pm me some info. I would like to get a few made.

Very nice, 125 is very reasonable.

Thank y'all for input, this is first E.d.c folder. I mainly make fixed blades

I’d assume kit knife at that price point?

One thing I can tell you about the knife world, some people don’t appreciate kit knives, mostly because of the history of unscrupulous people selling them as their own work. Personally, I have no problem with the kit, as long as you say it’s a kit. Full disclosure is a must. There’s a place for everybody in the market.

And a plus 1.

Nice work on the folder.


I would consider getting away from acrylic scales that look like a jerkbait. Acrylic scales can make it look like a cheap gas station knife. And you don’t want something to look cheap if it’s well made.

If it’s all original and not a kit, that’s way too cheap.
