As a new maker i would suggest you charge what you have in the knife materials plus a bit more to cover the cost of your next build
Depending how quick your knives sell will tell you if you are over or undercharging, as your skills and popularity evolve you can raise your price accordingly
If i charged minimum wage for the time i put in to my knives i would have to charge more than most top makers, im happy to see a small return on my hobby and any profit seems to go straight back in to new machinery or materials plus a lot more,
You could also try a passaround to get some productive criticism, from the pic your knife and sheath look well crafted
