I am just starting out in knife making. In my younger years I was a backpacker and a sailor and I wanted a particular knife for each activity. I was never able to find either knife so I decided to make knives for specific activities. At this point I have prototypes of skinning knives, a sailing knife, a backpacking knife and a couple of general hunting/camp knives. All are fixed blade, with Teak or Stabilized Mahogany scales, M390 or S35VN stainless, with dropped point blades. My question is....is there any particular type or style of knives which are in favor with users or collectors in todays market? Although I enjoy making knives, I am doing it to supplement SS, so I don't want to make a bunch of knives which won't sell or which are not what the buyers are looking for. What do you long time makers think?
