My next door neighbor forges knives and sells them at shows. Pretty fun to watch him work. I've taken a couple of his finished products to work to show off.....but they are way out of my price range. I think the last one I took in to show sold for $750, and he said that in his last show he sold one for a cool grand. They really are works of art and made from some pretty exotic materials, but I can't see throwing that much money at a cutting instrument.
