Forgive me if I do this wrong but I am new here I will try to be specific in my questions:
I work with a maker of hand forged Damascus (and Stainless) steel knives and am trying to guage the interest in a line of Damascus steel letter opener kits, for starters, for turners to turn handles for themselves.
Something just seemed off to me on putting a high quality handle material on a $9.95 chrome plated blade so we wanted to make something people would be proud of having on their desk, maybe with handles matching their pen. So far we have come up with a few blade shapes and the kit is the blade, guard, collar, and pommel. The buyer would turn the handle of his/her choice.
I commissioned three styles to start and have a few in progress pictures with a sample handle
Questions:
Is this something you would be interested in?
If interested, what price point what make this viable for you to use?
What other accessories would you like to see in Damascus steel?
