What are the best qualities a neighbor can have? Trustworthy, considerate, and tidy are a few that come to my mind. How will your neighborhood celebrate Good Neighbor Day today?
-Host a block party with food & music
-Coordinate a neighborhood garage sale
-Encourage your neighbors to support your business by passing out free company logo knives
These Buck knives are popular in the fall. Better yet, they are in stock right now. That’s big news, because the whole world is having supply chain issues this year (2022).
These logo knives are my top picks right now because of popularity and availability.

If you are a business owner, and like to give logo knives to your customers, do the knives help your business? Which customers should you target for your generous gift of a pocket knife with your company logo?
The United States isn’t officially involved in this, but April 20 is International Volunteer Recognition Day in Canada and the UK. We don’t know who started this special day. But, it is a great opportunity to thank those who give of themselves. How can you be a part of this day? You can help in 2 ways. First, by being a volunteer yourself. Second, by honoring volunteers.
Logo knives are knives that display your company logo to your customers. Here
are some things you might not have known:
Case has 2 numbering systems. The reason is that one numbering system identifies the specific knife (SKU
number) and the other system (pattern number) tells you more about the knife.
Whether you are buying logo knives for your company, or just blank knives, these 2 numbering systems will help you find the right knife.
Each knife has 2 numbers assigned to it.
SKU number and a Pattern.
This is like any other SKU number. It identifies the item according to its size, shape, color, number of blades.
The pattern is not as specific as a SKU number. Several SKU numbers could have the same pattern. Their difference would most likely be a different handle color. The purpose of the “Pattern” is to encode information about a knife into only a few digits.
For example 6347 is a pattern.
Handle materials:
1- Solid hardwood
2- Smooth black synthetic thermoplastic rubber
3- Smooth yellow synthetic
4- Smooth synthetic
5– Genuine stag
6- Jigged bone, jigged synthetic, jigged laminate, smooth bone
6.5- Bonestag
7/P- Curly maple, rosewood, smooth laminate
8- Genuine mother-of-pearl
9- Imitation mother-of-pearl
10- Micarta, G-10
I- Ivory, Imitation ivory
EX- Exotic (Giraffe, Ostrich, Volcanic Glass, and other Exotic Handle Materials)

Can you smell it? That is the smell of summer! In just a few weeks we’ll be celebrating the summer solstice. But in the meantime, today is Go Fishing Day– your chance to get outdoors and enjoy a view of the water.
For a lot of people, fishing and boating is a calm, leisurely activity. But others take it quite seriously. For those seasoned fishermen and boaters, we have just the thing for you- logo knives that will take care of your chores this summer, whether it’s filleting a fish or rigging ropes on your boat.
Summer is finally here, which means National Camping Month is upon us!
What will you pack on your trip? Do you have the logo knives to take on your camping adventure?
These are some must-haves to stick in your backpack:
YouTube has a few interesting videos on how to electro-etch your imprint on the blade of a pocket knife. Just go to Google and type in logo knives and click the “videos” tab, to find some short videos. They show how any do-it-yourself-er can develop this interesting hobby. I tried this method when I was in high school, and had some success. It involves using DC current, which passes through a salt water-soaked pad, which is placed onto a stencil that is temporarily taped to the knife blade. The electricity just eats away at the steel, and your imprint is slightly dug out of the steel blade. For the stencil material, I used an old-fashioned
mimeograph stencil. I don’t suppose you can find that material now. You would put it into your typewriter, and the striking action of the steel letters would damage the stencil enough to make it permeable to liquids. You wouldn’t use the typewriter ribbon. You would turn off the ribbon. So the permeable area that is the “letter” would act like a screen in a screen printing process. Only you wouldn’t be using ink. You would be driving the salt water through the screen area. Today, you can have someone make you the stencils, then you can do the fun part.
If you don’t need a hobby like this, you can have a professional knife etching company apply your corporate logo. Electro etching is only one way of doing this. Modern laser engraving machines have become more popular. They actually make a deeper, more permanent imprint into the stainless steel knife blade.
Odds are, your mother probably already has everything she needs or wants. But this year, on #MothersDay, maybe you should try giving her something that she didn’t even know she needed.
The best logo knives that you can give your mother today not only has the obvious blade, but it has a nail file, scissors, screwdriver, toothpick, and tweezers. It even has a key ring to keep it easily accessible, and comes in all colors of the rainbow.
