Gifting a knife for a customer? What's the better choice?

eamon · 12-12-2012, 05:09 PM

So for our company we were thinking of gifting a few of our customers high end knives or pocket tools and I was wondering if I should get them something tactical like a bench made or shiny. The knives are on the higher end either way, just not sure what would be more appropriate. The people who will be receiving the gifts are contract workers for projects aged 30-45 who do not do any of the heavy lifting of the workers.

Also black blade or silver?

Here are a couple pics
I get that the last pic looks the most "gifty" (IMO) but which one would you rather get and why? I feel that the tacticals have much more use.

Just don't get the bottom one.....useless.

Why does the last one have three equally useless blades? Is something like the Helle Dokka in your budget ($150 or so):

Benchmade is a GREAT knife, I have a few. Most prefer silver blades, I have both but prefer black blades. Can't lose with the benchmade

The first benchmade posted. That's a pretty sweet knife.

I have a matte black Benchmade 530 with a combo blade. It's tight.

But for folks you described, maybe a silver blade? More classy and gift-y

MrRetep · 12-12-2012, 05:35 PM

definitely the silver blade benchmade.

If it were me i would prefer the middle one, black blade.

Cool gifts.

The first pic is a benchmade 940. One of the most versatile benchmade made. Perfect for EDC.

I really like the 943 though since I prefer black.

Benchmade by far any one and you can't lose...... I'll take one too if your feeling the giving mood...
