7 Things About Personalized Pocket Knives You May Not Have Known

When you order gift pocket knives that have the recipient’s name or initials on each knife, these are called Personalized Pocket Knives. If all the knives have the same imprint, they would not be called “personalized”.

Here are some facts that you may not have known:

  1. Personalization is not very expensive. It usually costs $5 per knife plus a setup charge of $25 for the whole order.
  2. Instead of engraving the recipient’s first and last name, why not just the first name, and the years of service. “Jasonn–10 Years” instead of “Jasonn Smith”. The cost is the same either way.
  3. The knife will last forever. Who would throw away a knife with their own name on it? So, your logo will also last forever.
  4. Laser engraving is permanent. Electro etching is semi permanent.
  5. You can submit your list of names in different ways: Excel spreadsheet, Word document, or just in an email.
  6. If you misspell a name, it will be misspelled on the knife, and you paid for it.
  7. The minimum order is the same as the minimum order for each particular knife.

Why Is There A Setup Charge For Engraved Buck Knives?

Why the Setup Charge?
Why the Setup Charge?

When a business owner orders engraved Buck knives with his company logo, he generally has to pay a “setup charge”. What is this charge for?

  • The art department prepares the art file so that it will be legible at the size available on the knife. If there is too much small detail in the art file, they will suggest alternatives to the business owner.
  • The laser machine has to be set up with the art file. This takes a little time. It is the same amount of time, whether 10 knives or 1,000 knives will be laser engraved.
  • The knives have to be delivered to the laser machine from the warehouse. This also is the same amount of time, whether 10 or 1,000 knives are needed.

So, the setup charge is independent of the number of knives engraved. The price per knife can’t be adjusted for this finite charge. This is the fairest way to price the engraved Buck knives or any other imprinted item.
