Case has 2 numbering systems. The reason is that one numbering system identifies the specific knife (SKU
The Secret of the Case Numbering Systems
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.
SKU number (Model Number)
This is like any other SKU number. It identifies the item according to its size, shape, color, number of blades.
Pattern
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.
The first number is the handle material (6)
The second number is the number of blades (3)
The last 2 numbers are the pattern number, (47). 47 is the code for a Medium Stockman. 54 is the code for a Trapper.
Sometimes the number is followed by 2 letters (SS for Stainless steel, or CV for Chrome vanadium)

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.

This time of year, the weather can be quite unpredictable. Sunshine, clouds, rain, thunderstorms, maybe hail, maybe even snow? You never know what’s going to happen next. But the best thing that comes out of these crazy weather patterns are rainbows! Today is Find a Rainbow Day- can you find one?
Maybe even if the weather doesn’t prove to make one, you can find rainbows in other places- like in beautiful rainbow logo knives:
Today is St. Patrick’s Day, but what are we going to do to celebrate since most festivals and parades are canceled due to coronavirus concerns? Sure, you can still wear green all day (with beautiful green logo knives as your accessory) and drink a pint of Guinness, but it’s not the same as going to a fun boisterous parade.
Don’t worry, there’s still a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, if you’re willing to go search for it. We sure found one! After ogling over these beautiful rainbow logo knives, we finally found our way to the end of the rainbow, where there’s a gold knife.
Take your pick- one for you and one for your best customers!
