    That’s a convoluted answer for me. I hand sharpen knives and straight razors as a hobby. Been doing it for like 30 years and have several hundreds of dollars in diamond and wetstones. I doubt there’s 500 people in the country (US) that are better than I am at hand sharpening.

    The convoluted part is that I could charge people to sharpen knives. I just don’t want to.

      If you’re good at something you shouldn’t feel bad about charging for it. A lot of the economy is based on trading money for skilled labor.
