A Fruit Knife Really Doesn’t Have To Fold, Does It?

95-1712E Fruit Knife

The original fruit knife looks like this.. It is long and slender, and folds so you can put it in your pocket until you need it.

But what if you are testing cantaloupes all day long, in the same area of your storage building? This super sharp tomato slicer would be ideal for you.

American Made Cutlery Is In Demand

Regular Paring Knife w201

The manufacturing trend in the last 40 years has been to move USA production to Mexico and China, where the labor rates are lower. This means a manufacturer can be more competitive and stay in business. But the pendulum swings both ways. Americans want to buy items made in USA.

Fortunately, American Made Cutlery is available at reasonable prices. You can get your corporate logo electro etched on the blades at next to no cost. (Just the cost of the setup)

Gift sets are designed to fit into fashionable 2 piece gift boxes. There’s no need to look for an appropriate container to present your gifts to your customers and employees.

2 Engraved Leatherman Tools I Can’t Live Without

These 2 Engraved Leatherman Tools are either in my pocket, clipped to my pocket, or nearby.

Leatherman Wingman LM37. This all-purpose tool appeals to me mainly because it

has spring-action scissors and a safe blister package opener. Not only that, it has all these other tools built into one compact package:

Spring-action Needle nose Pliers
Spring-action Regular Pliers
Spring-action Wire Cutters
420HC Combo Knife
Wood/Metal File
Small Screwdriver
Medium Screwdriver
Phillips Screwdriver
Ruler (1.5 in / 3.8 cm)
Bottle Opener

Wire Stripper

I do keep a Wingman on each of my vehicles, plus one in the office, one in my boat, and one in my shed. I don’t usually work on my vehicles, but I do spend a lot of time fixing and enjoying my motor boat. This tool saves me from loading 10 pounds of extra repair tools onto my floating oasis.

Leatherman Style CS LM36. When traveling light, and when I’m all dressed up, I usually keep this smaller tool in my pocket. The useful features are a spring-loaded scissors, super

Leatherman Style CS LM36

sharp knife, nail file with a screw driver end (for small flathead screws and phillips screws), tweezers (for removing splinters), a bottle opener, and a carabiner clip. That’s a lot of capability for a tool that weighs only 1.4 ounces.

Which Engraved Buck Knives Are Best?

Buck_Knives_Logo

The best engraved Buck Knives are ones that:

Show your company logo without having to open them. Laser engraving on the handle or bolster is preferred.
Reflect the quality level of your company. You don’t want to give away cheap knives if you have a high end company.
Coordinate with your corporate colors. Blue, black, orange camo, regular camo, natural wood, stainless steel.
Are made in the country of your choice. Do you prefer USA-made or imported?
Have the design style that is consistent with your company style. Is it traditional or tactical?

Engraved Pocket Knives Worth Over $600 Each

Boker Leopard Damascus II Knife 111054dam

This is a pocket knife that encases a piece of history. But why is it worth over $600?

These Engraved Pocket Knives are made from recycled steel from the barrel of the German battle tank Leopard I. So, the material is in short supply.
They have historic value, and are cherished by collectors.
The Damascus blade is made by a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. That design is not laser engraved. It actually shows the layers that were made by forging, folding, forging, and folding again, many times.
This knife comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The aluminum handle is hardcoated 6061-T6 and has Ziracote wood insets.

This knife makes a unique retirement gift for a seasoned employee.

Leatherman®-Store in Portland Oregon

A pocket clip, so you can get to your knife right away.
Synthetic handles, to keep the cost down.
Locking mechanisms to keep the blade open when you are using it.
High grade stainless steel, to keep you knife looking good.
Hollow ground edge, to stay sharp longer, and to make it easier to sharpen.
Stainless steel “air-cooled” handles, to keep the weight light.
Minimalist designs, which combine the liner with the handle. Also making one of the handles extremely narrow, just to protect you from the blade edge.
Adding your logo with electro-etching, laser engraving, machine engraving, or pad printing in colors.
Assisted-open devices to allow you to quickly open the pocket knife with one hand.
Stealth knives that look like a key.

So, what could possibly be the next big idea in logo knives?

Voice-activated opening and closing. (Phones can do this. Why not a knife?)
Warranty reduced to 90 days. Optional extended warranty available for $29 per year.
Don’t want to buy one? Rent one by the month from your favorite Walmart (not).
Do you need one delivered? Just call Juber, and they will bring you a selection of knives to purchase. $28 delivery and processing charge, plus $55 per hour while you make your selection.
Need one for just a day? Pick one up at a Knife Kiosk. Return it to any Knife Kiosk in the country. Only $1 per hour. If you don’t return it for a week, your credit card will be charged $395.
