In the promotional knife business, “personalized” means that each item has the name of the recipient. When you give each of your groomsmen in your wedding personalized pocket knives, you want them “personalized” with each name.

Other ways you can use personalized pocket knives are:

  • Safety awards in your shop.
  • Service awards for every 5 years of employment.
  • Special gift knives for your best customers.
  • Christmas gift knives for your employees or relatives.
  • Tokens of gratitude for your volunteers on your committee.
  • Political gifts for those who helped to win an election.

How To Buy Engraved Leatherman Tools For Your Corporation

Do you need engraved Leatherman tools for a promotion for your company? Here are a few guidelines to make your promotion a success.

  • Get an eps file for your logo. The engraver will need this, for a neat imprint.
  • Get an accurate count of how many tools you will need, then add a few, in case more recipients pop up later.
  • Don’t wait till the last minute. Production time can be 7-10 business days after you approve a proof. Rush production is sometimes available.
  • Find the best Leatherman engraver online. Get one that responds quickly to your emails or phone calls. Also, find a website that is neat and easy to navigate and order from.
  • Place your order, and pay by credit card. Most people do it this way because of the convenience, safety, and protection from a bad merchant.
  • Make plans on how you will distribute the Leatherman tools. Possibly design a flyer or email to announce your promotion.
  • When they arrive, pass out your engraved Leatherman tools in person or at a meeting or party designed around your promotion.
  • Your workforce will be so happy that you came up with this wonderful idea.

My 2 Favorite Engraved Leatherman Tools

A big one, and a little one (for every day carry) are my favorite engraved Leatherman tools.

  • The big one is the Wingman(TM) for these reasons. It is a full 4″ when closed, which makes it a tough multi-tool. It’s USA-made from stainless steel. The most Leatherman Wingmanused elements on it are the knife, spring-loaded pliers, wire cutter, screw drivers, spring loaded scissors, and the amazing blister pack opener. Several other features make this device a convenient toolbox in your pocket. It has everything that I need in a multi-tool. That’s why I keep one in every vehicle, my boat, workshop, and office.
  • The little one is the Squirt PS4 Leatherman® multi-tool. Scissors,

Why Is There A Setup Charge For Engraved Buck Knives?

Why the Setup Charge?
Why the Setup Charge?

When a business owner orders engraved Buck knives with his company logo, he generally has to pay a “setup charge”. What is this charge for?

  • The art department prepares the art file so that it will be legible at the size available on the knife. If there is too much small detail in the art file, they will suggest alternatives to the business owner.
  • The laser machine has to be set up with the art file. This takes a little time. It is the same amount of time, whether 10 knives or 1,000 knives will be laser engraved.
  • The knives have to be delivered to the laser machine from the warehouse. This also is the same amount of time, whether 10 or 1,000 knives are needed.

So, the setup charge is independent of the number of knives engraved. The price per knife can’t be adjusted for this finite charge. This is the fairest way to price the engraved Buck knives or any other imprinted item.
