There are a lot of pocket knives out there to choose from, amiright? How do you choose the right one for your customers? Well, if you’ve at least narrowed your search down to the popular engraved Gerber knives, here are some stats about them that may surprise you:
Gerber Knives is the #1 direct military supplier of knives & multi-tools
Many of their knives are manufactured in Portland, OR
They use 686,000 lbs of steel a year!
One of the most prestigious positions at the company? The Knife Sharpener
At the top of most people’s Valentine’s shopping lists this week are chocolates & jewelry, wallets & toolboxes, right? How about you change it up this year and get your whole team at work the best pocket knife they’ve ever seen? They can keep it in their car, kitchen, or garage, and if you have it engraved with something thoughtful they’ll think of you every time they use it.
Are you a die-hard ice cream fan? Or will you, on occasion, settle for frozen yogurt? Since the 1970’s, people have been eating fro-yo, the close cousin of ice cream. While ice cream is made up of a mixture of milk and cream, frozen yogurt is made of (you guessed it) yogurt, milk, and cream. The addition of yogurt to the recipe makes it a lower fat, lower calorie alternative to ice cream, with perhaps a little less guilt as well.
What flavor will you choose today, on National Frozen Yogurt Day? Cookie dough, strawberry, pistachio, chocolate or vanilla? Maybe add a few toppings and make your own delicious fro-yo sundae. Are you drooling yet? But the only way you’ll be able to scoop it into your bowl is with a reliable American-made ice cream scoop.

Pizza used to be pretty basic, but not these days. It can be quite a versatile dish. From gluten-free crusts, to cauliflower crusts and plant-based meats and cheeses, the possibilities are endless for people who follow even the strictest of diets. So this week, during National Pizza Week, it’s time to celebrate this wonderful pie.
But what if you don’t want to make it all from scratch? What if your local pizza joint just doesn’t make it exactly like you want? Then turn to your freezer and pull out your favorite ready-made pizza and glam it up with extra toppings- fresh tomatoes, olive oil, extra cheese, whatever you can find!
Artisan toppings can turn that boring frozen pizza into something way more delicious and enjoyable than just a plain ol’ slice of cheese pizza.
After you patiently wait for it to bake, grab your American-made pizza cutter and you’ll easily be able to feed all of your family and friends. That is, if there’s any leftover once you’re done with it!
How often are you able to corral your entire family together for dinner? Just one or two days a week? Everyday? It’s not a competition- do whatever is reasonable for your family to handle. Today is National Sunday Supper Day, a day that revolves around the idea to help bring families together around the dinner table. In decades past, it was a common tradition for families to gather in the kitchen, help prepare a large Sunday dinner, and then sit down to enjoy it together. Nowadays with work schedules, homework, after-school activities, and the like, it can be hard to get everyone together, no matter the size of your family. It starts with just one day a week, and can quickly become a weekly or daily tradition.
Here are some easy tips to help bring #SundaySupper back:
Plan the menu with your family- you’ll have something everyone will look forward to
Keep it simple- choose no-fuss recipes
Prep your meal with American Made Cutlery– it’ll speed things up so you spend more time bonding, and less time cooking
And don’t stress about it! Do what works for your family. Just cook, sit, eat, and communicate, and it will quickly set a positive vibe throughout your household.
