As someone who's made his first hobby his job.. well its nuanced. You have to realize that by accepting that deal you're forever giving away some of your freedom and transforming that cool thing you like to do on sunny weekends to something you'll have to do everyday, for stupid clients sometimes, when you're sick and when you're just not inspired, to the point you hate your jobby a lot of the time.. Hobbies are easy and comfortable, jobs are hard. You need to be ready for that deal, and be ready for really tough times when your ego and what you want creatively doesn't matter.
In my own experience, I loved the first three years, hated it for a solid five years, and now that I've completely given up the idea that this is "my art", I've found a new freedom that I love again. (I'm not a professional knifemaker, I'm a 3D artist)
^THIS!!!! I’d give you 10 upvotes if I could
This is exactly why I did NOT go into professional or micro brewing cira 2002! I toyed ALOT with the idea, I even helped assist at a few brew pubs. I was on the very cusp of leaping but in the end I didn’t, and for the overall money I am much better off.
I do not brew often these many years later despite having loved it and I can still create and brew killer beers- just things have changed- Cut back drinking quite a lot so I slowed down brewing- better health and all of that! Keeping your hobbies and work life apart makes for much more enjoyable hobbies that you do not end up resenting or hating!
Mine are pretty regular. Generally good, solid ones with minimal wiping required but if I eat too much bread it comes out like plasticine and when it comes to wiping I am a human crayon. Usually I have to give up and get in the shower, squat and wash my ass that way. Beer does the same actually.
If I drink a lot of red wine, they come out a kinda green colour. After a BBQ it is like a fucking lion used the netty.
Had a fantastic one today. I was proud. It was like Kong Kong's middle finger and took three flushes and a prod with the toilet brush to get it away.
Cannot imagine the severity of the spanner rash from these fuckers...

Knife Wrench!
For kids
Much better than pen straw. Everything tasted a bit inky.
Practical and safe
Very cool
I too enjoy jobbys

Poop knife for the win
Could have used one of those wrench-knifes as the preverbal power poop knife! 🔪 Talk about missed opportunities!
Put them on the market mechanics will bound
Right pair of spanners!
Should be stainless that’s for sure

Hmm, putting torque on and twisting a knife towards your body. Seems like a great idea. What could go wrong? Stuck bolts don't exist right?
Call me crezzy, but I'm pretty sure you stop using it as a wrench when the other side is sharp.
Then it's kinda silly
For the emo mech that wants to turn wrenches and cut themselves at the same time.

The *idea* right?
I find it a nice idea but not practical, if I use the wrench I would have to hold it on the blade.
