During Christopher Columbus’ journey across the Atlantic Ocean, he surely had some sort of pocket knife to help him along the way. If he were alive in modern times, he certainly would have chosen one of these engraved Gerber knives:
I Love This American-Made Cutlery Cheese Knife (And You Will Too)
Okay, so usually mold on food is seen as bad, right? Well, not in the land of cheese it isn’t!
Moldy cheese has a bad reputation among some, and is strongly adored by others. It is actually a key component in making these types of cheeses:
- Blue cheeses: Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Stilton, etc
- Soft-ripened cheeses: Brie, Camembert, Humboldt Fog, and St. André
Personally, I don’t mind a little bit of mold on my cheese- blue cheese is a great addition to lunch salads, and the super-creamy texture of St. André is to-die-for (trust me). American-Made Cutlery has the best cheese knife out there:

Engraved Kershaw Knives Are A Woman’s Secret Weapon (Shh!)
Some people like to keep secrets, well, secret. But some secrets are worth sharing, especially these ones about engraved Kershaw knives:
- They’re made in the USA
- You can quickly and easily open with one hand, by pushing on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper. This feature is built into many of the Kershaw best sellers.
- The “Flipper” on the back of the blade lets you pull back, or flip, and open the blade. It gives you a quick way to open, with 1 hand, left or right.
- The “Framelock” is a part of the handle that moves behind the blade to lock it into position when open. A smart safety feature that keeps the blade open when you are using it.
Today, on Women’s Health & Fitness Day, don’t keep these engraved Kershaw knives a secret!

What Will Logo Knives Be Like in 100 Years?
The best way to see the future is to look at the past. What were pocket knives like 100 years ago? Were there logo knives then? The promotional product industry was just getting started about then. The first of those products were calendars and pocket knives with your logo or company name on them. In 1920 pocket knives were basically a bone or wooden handle with one or two blades. There were no “tactical” looking knives like some of the Gerbers. Gerber knives didn’t exist until 1939.
So, if today’s logo knives look that much different than the 1920 versions, let’s assume the 2120 will look much different than the 2020 knives. Here are my guesses:
-
- Using liquid crystal technology, your imprinted logo will change color when you hold the knife in your hand. Or a hidden message will appear. This technology is available today, but not used on pocket knives.
- Unique shapes that don’t look like a pocket knife.
- Forget the old fashioned pocket clip. How about a magnet integrated into the knife handle that will stick to a metal plate on your belt? You would have quick and easy access to a valuable tool.
- Tomorrow’s knives may have a built-in sharpener. Just disengage it and use it any time you need to hone the blade.
- Your phone number will be engraved on the blade. In case you ever loose it, the finder may re-connect you with your favorite knife.
- Boker will establish a manufacturing facility on the moon, and make handles from the unique materials found only on the moon.

The Wide Variety of Styles in Engraved Gerber Knives is No Secret
Gerber knives are anything but traditional. When I think of a traditional knife,
my attention goes to the W. R. Case Company. Most of their knives have 1, 2, or 3 blades, and the handle style is pretty much the same. The main differences are the materials that the handles are made from, and the colors .
Engraved Gerber knives, however, come in a variety of blade shapes. More importantly, the handles vary in the material and styles. They range from solid synthetic to tactical-looking stainless steel as in the Titanium Nitride Paraframe.
