I've moved this here as it's a better fit.

You might want to say where the survey is...

Apart from the way that you're doing blacksmithing and knives can be part of that..

.. why knives?

Fair question!

So as well as an artist blacksmith, I'm also a learning bladesmith. In the piece that I'm researching to make, I'm trying to combine two ideas. Firstly of the superstition of knives where you give a knife, get a penny, lest it cut the friendship - secondly that of sex workers, building the piece specifically around the themes of sex work, letting people take a "coin", not only referencing the knife superstition, but also a sex work transaction.

Obviously that may not be possible - there may not be enough of a link or a grabbing factor, but that's why I thought a survey would be a good idea!

Thank you so much for filling out the survey, and I hope that's a satisfactory answer to your question!
