I found the best rescue pocket knives on display in Cleveland Ohio last week. Gordon Blake, of Big River Marketing is showing us the Heavy Duty Rescue Knife (with yellow bolster). In his other hand is the “Ball Bearing Assisted Opening Professional Grade Rescue Knife”. It opens with a breeze, using only one hand. Both knives are made by Utica Cutlery Company (the Kutmaster line).

If you decided to give custom engraved knives to your employees, here are 5 tips to help you get the biggest bang for your buck.
Shop early. Rush jobs sometimes bring unpleasant surprises. If you give yourself time and the knife engraver time, you will see better results.
Pick a knife company with good service and quality engraving.
Keep your logo and other imprinting simple, so it can be large and memorable.
Ask for an email proof, to make sure you get what you have in mind.
Pick the highest quality pocket knives that you can afford. High quality is appreciated by your employees. Low quality knives will leave a lasting impression.
The 3 best pocket knives of June 2017 are the most popular sellers for us.
The openness of the Gerber Mini Paraframe’s handle is the biggest attraction for knife lovers. It not only looks good. It makes the knife lighter, and a better EDC (every day carry) knife.
2. Camo has been big, and still is this month. Dako knives are made in China, which makes them more affordable. The stainless steel blade is sandblasted for that attractive foggy look.
3. Kutmaster designs and makes some unique patterns in pocket knives. Rescue knives are popular with police, firemen, and emergency medical personnel. This knife is the answer to their need for a compact version of a rescue knife. The black blade goes with the black handle very well. Nice job, Kutmaster!
Custom Engraved Knives are usually pocket knives. Sometimes non-folding knives are laser engraved with company logos.

When people ask me about the barlow knives, I ask them to let me know which “barlow” they want to know about. The word barlow has 2 meanings. The first meaning is the name of an American company that used to make pocket knives, tape measures, and key chains. They were all high quality, and made in America. USA-made items were very popular, and still are. The Barlow company was sold to another company in 2007 approximately. Then that company was sold to a third company shortly after.
The second meaning of “barlow” is a style of pocket knife that dates back to the 1600’s in England. This is the knife that George Washington used. It still gets a ton of Google searches today.
It is these barlow knives that I am showing you today. These have 2 stainless steel blades, a slightly teardrop-shaped handle, and a large metal bolster.
The popularity of different pocket knife styles changes from year to year. Camo knives have been very popular for a long time. More designs are being added all the time. So far in 2017 the Rescue knives are the most popular company logo knives. Their popularity is rivaling the popularity of the camouflage knives. For those people who like both camo and rescue knives, here are examples that you have been waiting for:
Pocket knives have a special mystique about them. When I go to a flea market, there are always people looking at, and buying pocket knives. They come in all shapes and sizes. Most of them are custom engraved knives with a company logo. Why are they so popular? Here’s what I have figured out:
They are constructed of steel, which is a valued commodity.
They help you do a big job, with very little effort.
The intricate mechanical nature of folding knives makes them interesting.

They are collectible because they come in many colors, shapes, and sizes.
They give the user power to do things that he can’t do with his bare hands.
They can be used to cut, shave, carve, slice, dice, whittle, scrape, and get you out of a car in an emergency.
They are usually tough enough to last a lifetime, and even get passed down from generation to generation.
Their intrinsic beauty comes from the qualities of the handle material and the blade. Their color and sheen, texture, and smoothness all contribute to their beauty.
