Thought I put prices up but realised I didn't.

Set of 4 (knife, fork, big spoon, small spoon) £40

T spoon £14

Both include signed for pnp. T spoon is dearer as they are more expensive to buy.

Some may feel they are expensive but they are hand engraved and one of a kind. Can do whatever you want as long as I can physically engrave it bare in mind it's only my hand not a machine

They look great in photo. But in person it's a totally different level, absolutely incredible art work.

Cheers mate, something different. I was going to do a hunting set for someone which I think would look amazing but he never came back to me. I could literally do loads and loads but best to do ‘to order' otherwise I'd have loads lying around

You'd be surprised, amount of ppl enquiring to when hearing the price to buying is about 15:1. I think if I displayed them and ppl actually saw them, then most ppl interested would buy. Pics just don't do them justice and £40 isn't cheap but once youv paid for the cutlery then pnp it leaves around £30 profit. You can get Carplife or Rm ones but they are a generic computer produced item for below £20 (have not got a thing on mine imho) but it's cheaper.

It's mad, some ppl on hearing the price don't batter and eye or say it's too cheap others think it's too expensive but then go spend £100 on a mass produced item with fox ect on it and think nothing of it. All relative i guess

I dont think people take into account all of them factors plus your time.I would think if you told them how much you make and how long it takes to do them,would they work for that an hour.Their attitude might change or you will still get them that say its not your job though its a hobby so should be cheaper

Yeah you know that! When anything has ‘bespoke''hand made' or ‘artisan' it's always going to be more then mass produced stuff

Have you tried etsy? Id bet you have a HUGE market for wifes, daughter and sons that know dad loves fishing but no idea what to buy him.

Hip flasks too.

That's the trouble with advertising, so much time wasting. One of my clients put my number on a Pinterest type forum, I thought I'd have to change my number with all the nonsense calls for crap people could have bought from ikea, or wanted free cos they've got 200000 followers on insta

Cheers fella.

I was going to do Etsy, they don't take too much, think it's about 5% but max 10 so not too bad. The only thing that has stopped me so far is I wouldn't be able To do it custom (fish) but writing wouldn't be an issue) as it would be a nightmare having loads of diff pics ect to try and do then go back and forth to make sure it's how they wanted them. So it would literally be a set of carp and what you get is what you get type thing, they'd all be different but based on the same layout)

Don't think that would be too bad as tbf most wife's, kids ect prob wouldn't know that ‘ole c scale and Popeye' is dad's favourite fish TO put on them.

Other thing is, I don't want to bang loads out to not then sell, or other way suddenly get loads of orders and be non stop in my evening/weekends.

Basically I can't win lol. But I do agree as my bro always struggled to get me xmas fishing gifts and he said same thing, I might put it on there and get a feel for it
