Hawking knives on THP

So would it be weird if I started hawking knives on THP and at the business site?  Been doing some cast in place pewter work.  Love the way they are looking, but the real test is if people will send money on them.
 
I would totally buy a "gardening" knife. I'm a sucker for any product that is even remotely related or labeled towards my hobbies though.. I bought a pocket knife for hunting for $70 because it was a "bird knife". It has a hook on one of the fold outs for gutting birds and a choke tube wrench for the choke tube on my shotgun. I barely ever use it because it's not really that convenient but I wear it every time I go hunting because god damnit, it's my bird knife!
 
It would be up to the mods/boss, but I think it could be posted in promotions...especially if there was a pepper handle, or like edmick says, is designed for pepper harvesting. OR! If you could design one like a small scoop to core and deseed/devein.
 
That's what I'm thinking, SL. He's a niche producer on a board for a niche hobby that does, in fact, make regular use of the kind of tool he's making. If here and on his similarly themed site are where he's expecting to make his sales, why not cater to the needs of that audience? Make something specific to chilli growing and cooking that will simultaneously set himself apart from other sellers and benefit the end user?
