    What would these be worth should I consider selling? I have no clue as to what knives go for. Been having some enquiries...

    There is - generally spoken - not much money to be made from custom knives until your name has become known.

    Most parttime makers make their profit from value added to material costs.

    The idea is not really to make a living off making knives. I enjoy making them and would like to recover the cost of making and maybe some extra to fund the next knife.

    Visit some knife shops, knife shows and custom knife makers. Have a look at their prices and work from there.

    Also check out the work of some of the knife makers on the Facebook EDC group, to get an idea of what people charge for what.

    Charge less to get your knives into the market, and slowly build your prices once your knives start getting out there.

    From the photos, you work looks excellent.

    Good luck

    There's a good FB group called Messe, byle bayonet en verwante items to koop/ verkoop.

    You'll get a good indication there.

    Between R300 and R500 for knives 1 & 2
    And between R500 to R800 for the others
    As you get more publicity and better your skills, you can then start charging more.
    Start low and work up.
    Alternatively start at the upper level of the prices I gave, and then work downwards if there's no interest
