hey Mohawk,
I mostly do it for fun . ive sold a few ,but it mostly just covers the materials . had a go at a small production run of hunting knives , and sold a few . I really like making reproductions of old knives . this is a copy of the type of knife the nz bushrangers like von tempsky probably would have used .
