How to Customize Pocket Knives

Order custom pocket knives for…

Hunting

Hunting can be recreational, or it could be a means of survival. Anyone who engages in this activity could benefit from their own personalized pocket knife.

Fishing

Some lakes and marinas have a gift shop on location. If you manage one, you can sell bucket hats, galoshes, and custom pocket knives that fishers can use by the water.

Hiking or Camping

Maybe the strings on your tent are frayed or overly long. It could be that you want to create kindling for a bonfire. Whatever the case, it’s useful to have a pocket knife if you’re hiking or camping.

Construction

Construction workers often have real deal tools like chainsaws, power drills, and in some cases, industrial cranes. Still, a custom pocket knife is sure to come in handy for the smaller projects.

Arts & Crafts

If you like to build birdhouses or carve signs, then a pocket knife would be a good addition to your toolbelt. The sharp blade can be used to create precise details in any woodworking project.

Warehouses

Do you work with packaging? A pocket knife or box cutter could help you break the sealed tape on cardboard boxes. This makes your work day much more efficient.

Sporting Goods

Stores like Dick’s, Cabela’s, and Bass Pro Shop can sell promotional pocket knives. To drive sales, it could also be a good idea to offer one for free with a purchase.

Holiday Gifts

Let’s say you need a special gift for Father’s Day. Personalized pocket knives are a fun idea that is a lot more original than another gift card or necktie!

Custom Pocket Knives Design Tips

• 1

  Add a pop of color.

• 2

  Try engraving.

• 3

  Hand out the knives to only those 18 and over.

Tip 1. Add a Pop of Color

For the most part, pocket knives come in neutral colors like black, white, or gray with a silver blade. However, if you want more personality, try to order some that are a bit more colorful.

Tip 2. Try Engraving

You can get the handle or blade of your custom pocket knife engraved with anything you want. Add a name, company logo, monogram, or inspirational quote.

Engraved Blade

Engraved Handle

Engraving is more permanent than screen printing or digital printing. You won’t have to worry about the ink peeling off if you wash the knife after use.

Tip 3. Hand Out to 18 & Over

Pocket Knife Safety

Pocket knives have a sharp blade, and therefore, aren’t safe for anyone under the age of 18. Be sure they’re out of reach of kids, pets, and anyone who is too immature to see the potential danger in these tools.

You should only give these out as gifts to adults. They should be responsible enough to practice knife safety and to use this tool for its intended use and not as a weapon.

Other Considerations When Buying Custom Pocket Knives

Multi-Tools

Some pocket knives are part of a multi-tool set that includes a nail file, mini scissors, and wine corkscrew. Look into these utility knives if you want more bang for your buck.

Open/Close

The best pocket knives have a push button or pullable lever on the handle to open/close the blade. Try to find that feature so you can avoid injuries.

Keychain

Not everyone is going to want to keep their pocket knife in their pocket. A keychain utility knife is a good alternative since it hooks onto car keys.

Minimum

Depending on the material, you can get anywhere from 10 to 500 pocket knives in a bulk order. Order less if you want them as gifts and more if you plan on selling them at your store.

Price

Engraved pocket knives are a bit of a splurge. You can expect to pay anywhere from $3 each for cheap plastic pocket knives to as much as over $100 each (before setup costs, shipping, etc.).
