A slim uniquely fashioned glass knapped knive with oak handle. The 'Coleman' knife.

beautiful dad, try taking the pictures on a monotone surface though, like a sheet of white or black. The stripes are confusing

I like the designs for this knife and "Pride II" the best, they are both beautiful shapes. The transparency of the glass balances out the hard opaqueness of the wood.

As for pricing, I would take into account how much the materials to make this costs for you. Then you can either take the time spent on the piece into account, or the size, or both- to determine a selling price. What size are the knives you make? It's hard to tell from the photos. I'm guessing this one is between 6 and 10 inches? That being the case, I would place this anywhere between $50 and $100 for this size, depending on how much time was spent and the cost of materials. Maybe even more (especially for bigger ones), because thee are such specialized and unique artisan works. In the end it all comes down to how much you feel you've put into your work, and if you're doing this for a living you need to pay yourself a living wage.

I hope I've been helpful, your work is so beautiful. :)

You have just made my week. You were right on the size (6-10in). I try to keep the knife to what I would considered a usagable size. When it comes to how much I feel the worth should be-I am overwhelmed by how much fun it is to make them -vs- how much should I ask for.
