Only cutlery/kitchen knives is limiting your market. The custom tactical and custom outdoor knife market is huge and the customers can never get enough.

The best "pocket knife" I own sells for $500, and this is considered mid-range. You are missing out on this action.

Well, both of you are right. The kitchen knife market in larger by way of necessity. However, I suspect that the market for outdoor knives >$500 is larger than that of kitchen knives. I do have kitchen knives showing up soon above $800 and am talking to makers that produce knives around $1500.

Still, I'm interested in outdoor and pocket knives. I plan on integrating them within a year. For now though, I'm trying to find a great EDC knife <$100. If you've got any suggestions on any of these fronts, I'd be happy to hear them!

The market for kitchen knives is quite a lot bigger than the market for pocket knives.
