Start with good artwork. If you don’t have any, then just use the name of your company.
Find a quality knife company on the internet. Using the words “company logo knives” will get you the most relevant knife engravers that can help you out.
Order USA-made knives, if they fit into your budget. If not, many Chinese pocket knives are available in high quality. Dako is one of them.

The Importance of Company Logo Knives

Your company can thrive if and when you grow big enough to give out pocket knives with your corporate logo.

AT&T Logo

IBM logo

HP-Logo

The first step is to develop a company logo that is simple and reflects the feeling of your company. The simpler the better. Some good examples are IBM, AT&T, and HP. These logos are very simple and easily recognizable. Some business owners try to put too much information, text, and graphics into a logo. At some point it looses its identity as a logo and becomes a picture.
After a successful company is proud of their logo, they usually like to give out promotional products that have their logo imprinted on them.
The best and largest companies give out company logo knives and other high-end business gifts. When you reach this point, you can be proud, because you are successful in creating a company that will carry your tradition of excellence into the future.

The Best Pocket Knife of 2016, In My Opinion

7915 Knife of the Year 2016

The best pocket knife in the imported category, for 2016 is the Dako Shadow Pocket Knife 7915.

What impresses me about this knife is the unique design and advanced engineering. The knife is light as a feather, even though it is made entirely of steel. How did they do that?

One reason is having the same piece of steel do 2 jobs. The back handle also serves as the locking mechanism.
The other reason is–why cover the whole blade with a front handle, if all you need to cover is the edge of the blade? So they designed the front handle to do just that.

The size is not small. It’s a medium sized 3 1/2″ knife that you will be happy to make your “every day carry” (EDC). It opens easily with the thumb stud on the blade. Make 48 of your customers happy by giving them this knife with your company logo laser engraved on the blade. Your logo is visible even when the knife is closed.

4 Common Misconceptions About Personalized Pocket Knives

Personalized Pocket Knives with your company logo are used as business gifts every day. Here are 4 misconceptions about this useful gifting idea:

Stockman pocket knife

Pocket Knives are for men only. False. Many women welcome a promotional pocket knife as a thoughtful gift. They like to keep them in their purse for emergencies like cutting string and opening boxes.
Pocket Knives are just weapons. False. They are as much a weapon as baseball bats. They have many useful peaceful purposes. Like opening blister-sealed packages, cutting rope, cardboard, and cutting things in projects involving your car, home, boat, and garage.
Business gifts should not have sharp edges. False. This is based on an old superstition, like opening an umbrella in a house, and rocking an empty rocking chair. Most people now are careful enough to safely handle a sharp pocket knife.
Pocket Knives cannot be taken on airplanes. False. The TSA allows you to pack pocket knives in your luggage and check it at the counter. You just can’t take them into the passenger cabin of the aircraft. The TSA was going to allow small pocket knives on board in 2015, but they reversed their ruling due to remarks from the airlines personnel.

So keep on giving quality pocket knives to your best customers. They will appreciate your generosity!

Searching For New Company Logo Knives in Cleveland Ohio

How do I find new company logo knives to put on the website? I mainly go to trade shows. Yesterday there was a huge show in Mayfield Heights, a suburb of Cleveland Ohio. It was sponsored by “New Product Showcase” (NPS). The foot of snow didn’t keep promotional product distributors and suppliers away. Here’s a picture of an emergency exit door showing how high the snowfall was.
