Never forget. On Patriot Day, we honor the heroes of 9/11 with something that cuts deeper than ordinary souvenirs—A Maxim Knife. These sturdy blades arrive laser-etched with American flags, eagles, “Never Forget,” or personal dedications. Affordable yet tough (think reliable 420 stainless and solid grips), they’re the perfect pocket-sized salute: part tool, part keepsake, 100% patriot power. Carry one to remember the courage that rose from the ashes. Gift one to a first responder or veteran. Or display it as a daily reminder that freedom stays sharp when we do. This September 11, let your Maxim knife do the talking. Honor. Remember. Stay ready. Maxam Falcon VII Lockback Knife MGSK7473
The best way to see the future is to look at the past. What were pocket knives like 100 years ago? Were there logo knives then? The promotional product industry was just getting started about then. The first of those products were calendars and pocket knives with your logo or company name on them. In 1920 pocket knives were basically a bone or wooden handle with one or two blades. There were no “tactical” looking knives like some of the Gerbers. Gerber knives didn’t exist until 1939.
So, if today’s logo knives look that much different than the 1920 versions, let’s assume the 2120 will look much different than the 2020 knives. Here are my guesses:
Using liquid crystal technology, your imprinted logo will change color when you hold the knife in your hand. Or a hidden message will appear. This technology is available today, but not used on pocket knives.
Unique shapes that don’t look like a pocket knife.
Futuristic CRKT Deviation Folding Logo Knife
Forget the old fashioned pocket clip. How about a magnet integrated into the knife handle that will stick to a metal plate on your belt? You would have quick and easy access to a valuable tool.
Tomorrow’s knives may have a built-in sharpener. Just disengage it and use it any time you need to hone the blade.
Your phone number will be engraved on the blade. In case you ever loose it, the finder may re-connect you with your favorite knife.
Boker will establish a manufacturing facility on the moon, and make handles from the unique materials found only on the moon.

To keep it simple, here are just 4 misconceptions about company logo knives. I’m sure you can think of others.
The best price is what you need.
Knives are just for men.
A color imprint is the best imprint.
Chinese-made knives are junk.
Here are the answers….
This statement is an easy one to figure out. The best price may mean the worst service, or the worst imprint on your company logo knives.
Surprisingly, many females like to carry a pocket knife for protection, and to open boxes, just like men do. My pastor’s wife appreciated the multi-tool I gave her, because she does all the fixing around the house.
A color imprint may look the nicest, but laser engraving is the most permanent imprinting method. Color imprints can scratch off in time, especially if your car keys are rubbing against them in your pocket.
The quality of pocket knives coming from China is very remarkable. They are using good stainless steel, and the workmanship is very good. The price is low because of the low cost of labor in that country. Dako and Gerber and Starline knives are my favorite Chinese-made pocket knives.
