speaking of having my name on, i need to start either etching in a trademark, or make up a stamp.
Yes you should !! Leaving behind Knives that will be treasured and passed down through generations would be a pretty damn good legacy if you ask me :)
if it's about legacy then the tool will speak for itself. for me, the trade mark is about speaking for me while i'm trying to sell a product.
Yeah, legacy is great but being alive and collecting money is a lot better in my book.
Whats wrong with doing both ? :)
I'm going to try my first makers mark this evening, after work. I'll be using stencils and the electro-mchanical thingie I got last weekend. All I have now is a plain jane typewriter to mark the stencils. I'll eventually come up with a better design (open for input) and have them made.Quote:

Adding your name really increases the price you can get for a knife. If you build a reputation as a maker of solid, well build knives then the benefits of a brand are obvious. There is the collector market also though..even if the buyer has no idea who you are, they will take a chance because if you make it big as a maker, it might be worth something someday.
one sold [pending payment].
now i have one more single piece sale to try to close, another one to look into and to see what this knife-show buyer is interested in. i hope this trend continues :D
Congrats!! Here's to many more.
thank you.
i can't say how much i'm looking forward to being able to do more, and start some more bows. if i'm to have any sort of business, however small, they are a fair return on investment as well, and an immense fun to make.
i just got another inquiry. i suppose when it rains it pours. i've had part of that offering up for two weeks. i put the rest up, and now i'm getting several inquiries in 48 hours.
Congrats Canid.
