The Ace in the hole! In the West not everyone would agree with your cards. This blade was a great persuader. This is our latest double edged blade called the "Doc Holiday". This lastest of our "S" Series Knives is made of 440c stainless. The blade is 3 1/2" long and overall 7 1/4". This hidden tang blade has two anchor 1/8" holes in the handle. Laser etched bolsters and mirror polished blade. These are a limited run of an old west design. Business Opportunity and ProfitabilityWe have nearly 600 small businesses putting custom handles and reselling our blades and making a good income. I'm often asked where is the best place to resell our finished blades? I was in Alaska recently and two vendors at a local craft show had our blades on display as well as a local merchant. Our blades are well recognized world wide and highly sought after, The local crafter makes his own niche with our blades. Surprisingly Gun and Knife shows are not the #1 venue but craft shows that draw a high female population is #1. The reason why is woman buy knives for men better then men buying for themselves. The next venue is hunting and fishing outfitters and taxidermy. The next questioned I'm asked is what makes a knife more sellable? #1 is exotic handle material. Many knife makers starting off will use oak or walnut as a handle. While it's cheap it's also plain and usually undesirable. Antler, buffalo and bone are great standards to start with. In woods use a stabilized burl like California Buck eye, Amboyna, and Rosewood Burl. The other things you can do to and to add value and resell ability is your name on the blade, you have a jeweler or laser engraver do that for you, mosaic pins if available, file work on the blade, spacers and an attractive sheath. Lastly every knife maker see his flaws more than anyone else, sometimes the hardest sell is the maker. Find your niche and go with that. I don't like velvet Elvis paintings but they sell. People look for different more than the same. Our business is a hybrid business where we make high quality blades affordable so that you can realize a good profit. In this day where jobs are going overseas we actually takes jobs from China and help small businesses make money here. We also have wholesale accounts available for professionals. You can call us @ if you have knife questions or have a knife concern we would love to hear from you. Thank you for your continued business.
