The best company logo knives must be useful, long-lasting, appreciated, and show your company logo. What secrets can I share with you?
Start with the best pocket knife. Choose the best 440 stainless steel for the blade.
Use material that your particular customers will like. Do they like wood, stainless steel, or bone scales? Other popular handles are made from anodized aluminum, stag, titanium, and synthetic materials.
Laser engrave on the blade and handle (if possible) for a long-lasting imprint. Sometimes the handle material is not conducive to engraving, or the design does not leave enough room for engraving.
Here are some prime examples:

If you ever walked into a Harbor Freight store, you were probably overwhelmed by all the tools there. Many of them have specific purposes. They make you wonder if you should add them to your toolbox, just in case you need them some day. If you succumb to those buying pressures, you will soon have to buy more tool boxes to contain all your specialty tools!
There must be a better way to be prepared for most repair jobs. Consider Leatherman engraved tools. One small hand-held tool takes up very little space, yet is capable of doing

dozens of jobs. The Leatherman Surge (LM23) has the most functions. But some of the other models may solve most of your repair needs. Some of the functions of the variety of Leatherman tools are:
Later this week is National Re-Gifting Day. It’s the Thursday before Christmas. Now’s the time to pass on that 10 year-old fruitcake that you received last year. Some gifts that are never re-gifted are Buck Knives.

Why? Who would ever part with a gift that has many uses? Opening boxes, cutting string, trimming twigs off a tree, stripping wire. Buck Knives have a universal appeal. Most of them are American Made. So, go through your storage spaces and find those gifts that would be better off in someone else’s closet. But never give up your Buck knives.
So you like to keep a pocket knife on you at all times. It is handy to open packages, cut string and rope, and get someone out of a seat belt after an accident. When you fly on a commercial airline, what does TSA (Transportation Security Administration) have to say about your habit?
You may not have them in your carry-on bags. The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item will be allowed past the checkpoint.
Since I sell pocket knives, one time I tested the system. When I travel by air, I like to take my fingernail clippers and toenail clippers. In the same shaving pouch I have a small inexpensive multi-knife. It has a small non-locking blade, scissors, and nail file. It is about 2″ closed. I normally put this shaving pouch in my checked bag. This time, I put it in my carry-on bag. Mainly because I was going on a short trip and didn’t need to use a checked bag. Surprise..I was able to go through the checkpoint. It worked that time, but who knows if TSA would allow this knife to pass every time.
What happens if you remember that you have an expensive knife in your pocket, and you are already in the TSA line? It’s too late to put it in your checked bag.
Get out of line and hide it somewhere in the airport, like a flower pot, above a ceiling tile, behind some furniture, or any other place you can think of.
Go outside and bury it in the ground.
On your return trip, your knife might be gone, but it might still be there. It’s better odds than forfeiting it to the TSA agent.
Fibonacci Day was named after Leonardo Fibonacci, an Italian mathematician who discovered the natural sequence of numbers in nature in 1202. It’s a series of numbers which is the sum of the previous 2 numbers: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,etc. It is found in hurricane patterns, DNA and the petals of some flowers.
Why celebrate it today? November 23 is 11/23, the first four numbers in the sequence.
Buck Knives salutes Leonardo for making this earth-shaking discovery over 800 years ago.
Our veterans gave us their best, and sometimes their lives, so we could enjoy our personal freedoms in this great country. How can we ever show them enough gratitude?
Take them to lunch or dinner on Veterans Day, or this weekend.
On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress established the Continental Marines, in preparation for the American Revolution. The recruitment office was in the Tun Tavern on Water Street in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After the war, the Continental Marines was abolished, only to be replaced in 1798 by the United States Marine Corps (USMC). It was placed under the Secretary of the Navy at that time.
Engraved Buck Knives proudly salutes the United States Marine Corps and thanks all the marines for their valuable service. We encourage you to also thank a Marine, take them to lunch, or give them engraved Buck knives in appreciation.
Yes, there really is a person named Pete Kershaw. He started his hunting knife business in 1974. Lake Oswego, Oregon was the starting place, and Pete used a space in a cement plant at the time. He was impressed with the quality of knives produced by Kai, a then 65 year-old Japanese knife company, owned by Saijiro Endo II. The two men hit it off pretty well, and formed a solid partnership.
Progress was made in the 1990’s by introducing new features like the liner lock mechanism in the Liner Action knives. The partners also developed a new production facility in Wilsonville, Oregon in 1996.
At Pete’s retirement, Jack Igarashi took over, and brought in fresh ideas to keep engraved Kershaw knives ahead of the game. He invented a new, easy way to open a pocket knife. This mechanism is called SpeedSafe®. Today it is built into the Leek, Chive, and Scallion Kershaw knives. If you try it once, you will be convinced that it is the best way to open a pocket knife.
