Health Insurance
This is for all of you (like me) that have no health insurance.
I have often wondered why neither of the major knife organizations didn't offer some kind of group health insurance. (I guess a majority of the members already have insurance through their spouses, or through their retirement.) Being self-employed makes getting reasonably priced health insurance almost impossible. I have searched everywhere, but the prices have been more than I can afford. This has caused me to avoid doctor's visits for over 10 years. I finally found an artist's group that offers an insurance policy that I can afford. (This is a "real" insurance policy instead of the ones that claim to save you 60%.) The best thing is that they cover all artisans (including knifemakers)! The organization is called Fractured Atlas. Click here for website. The membership costs $75/yr. The bare-bones insurance is just under $75/ month. They seem to offer quite a bit more than just health insurance (grant proposal help, etc). I don't know if this will help anyone, but I thought I'd pass it on.
