Every week boys across America gather in meeting rooms with their fathers to learn how to become reliable, kind members of society. The Boy Scouts of America have been around since 1910 and have around 2.4 million (!) youth members and almost 1 million (!) adult volunteers.
Here are the rules about being a Boy Scout:
Scout Oath: On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Law: A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Scout Mission: The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
So today, as we celebrate the Boy Scouts of America, make sure every Scout is equipped with one of these 3 personalized pocket knives in their camping bag, ready to safely conquer the great outdoors.
In many places throughout the U.S., February is snow season. But that shouldn’t stop you from celebrating today’s holiday: Play Outside Day. Bundle yourself up and build a snowman, a snow fort, or make snow angels (no one is ever too old do any of these!).
Test your company logo knives outside- how well do they work when your hands are shivering?
When you’ve had enough, head inside next to the fire and enjoy some hot chocolate.

January has passed, and most people’s New Year’s resolutions have come to a halt. Now that we’re in February, how can we get back on the healthy bandwagon? This month is American Heart Month, a month that aims to bring awareness to our heart health and the prevention of heart disease. How can we do this?
Track your heart health stats (talk to your doctor about your blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol goals)
Eat healthier (increase intake of fruits, veggies, whole grains, while reducing sodium, saturated fat & sugar intake)
Be physically active (the NIH recommends 30 minutes, 5 days a week)
The easiest way to hold yourself accountable for any of the above is to form a support group. Who else in your office would love to improve their heart health? Get the group motivated by handing out matching red logo knives to your team at work. Go on daily walks together after lunch; share yummy healthy recipes at your company potluck; have a competition to see who can reach their heart health goals first.
Today is Groundhog Day, and I bet Punxsutawney Phil will be glad to have a smaller crowd around him this year. All these tall humans probably give him quite a scare when he comes out of his burrow!
Do you think he’ll see his shadow or not?
And even more.. do you think Punxsutawney Phil should socially distance himself from these engraved Kershaw knives?
Martin Luther King Jr Day is only celebrated once a year, but it embodies an ideology that we should embrace year-round. Love, equality, and generosity are traits we should strive to exhibit daily.
“Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.”
-Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Your employees and customers will appreciate these logo knives, especially if you have them engraved with a thoughtful quote or design:
Many diet and food trends come and go, but it seems like the Keto diet is sticking around for a bit longer. If you haven’t heard of it, here are the basics: your diet roughly consists of 70% fat, 20% protein, and 10% carbs. As a result, your body will start burning your fat as energy (instead of the normal carb energy source), resulting in weight loss.
Other benefits:
Reduced inflammation
Increases energy to your brain
To help chop up all of the extra protein you’ll be eating, you’ll need any of these trusty Buck Knives:
If ever there was a year that we were all excited to see come to a close, it would be 2020. With social and political unrest everywhere you go, it’s about time we press the reset button.
Your customers and employees will have a chuckle if you get them all pocket knives engraved with “So Long, 2020.”
In days like these, it’s important to keep our nation unified. What better way than to refresh our minds with a little history lesson about the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance? After all, today is a national holiday celebrating this special oath.
Did you know…
The first American pledge of allegiance (different from the one we recite today) was written by Captain George Thatcher Balch during the Civil War. It goes:
“We give our heads and hearts to God and our country; one country, one language, one flag!”
The pledge we all know today was based on one written by Francis Bellamy in 1892. It goes:
“I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”
Congress formally adopted Bellamy’s pledge in 1942, and added the words “Under God” in 1954.
These company logo knives will help you and your customers celebrate this special day:
