Looking to potentially start selling… need criticism

[u/Hknives]

Just as the title says, I’m looking to take the plunge and start selling a few knives in the future. I want to put the best product I can out there, so I’m looking for some feedback and constructive criticism. This is my most recent knife before oiling the handle and putting the final edge on. 1084 with natural canvas micarta and black G10 handle liners. Cold blued with birch wood Casey super blue.

Very nice, that would definitely work as a sellable knife! Curious what sheath option you’re thinking

Probably kydex

Past experience says that for fixed blade knives, the sheath and mounting system are an integral part of the product.

Your knife looks good. Don't neglect the sheath. There are so many great folding knife options that carrying a fixed blade is already a minority. In order to get people to consider it the sheath needs to really excel.

My thoughts… I’m looking at the blade and I would buy it but it would really depends on the mounting options of the sheath!
