Legal Issues?

[garrisonknife]

I am taking a course at college right now that deals with a lot of the legal issues that businesses and entrepreneurs face. We just recently discussed the different forms of business such as corporations, LLCs, LLPs, sole proprietorships ...etc All of these types were designed around minimizing the liability of the owners. It seems to me that knife making would be an industry that is potentially open to a lot of liability and I haven't noticed many, if any knife makers who have done anything to protect themselves.

I guess I am just curious if anyone has had problems in this area or why nobody seems worried about it. I've sold a few knives on ebay and I've always worried that someone would hurt themself and then try to blame me for it.

Any thoughts on the matter would be great. Thanks!
