Knives we are considering to boost our efforts to raise funds for charity.

I wouldn't be able to get one because the auto feature, but it looks good, honestly probably better without the skull.
 
I think that a knife with NO skull on it would look better. Perhaps, use an Armed Forces seal on the handle or leave it plain.

Black, dark gray, navy or a dark green handle would look nice.

Best wishes to you.

The knife is really looking good, but I have to stick with my original reaction that the skull looks cheap. While I might have to pass on buying one just because of other more pressing financial priorities, the skull would be an instant no-go for me. If it was your Minuteman logo (like on the watches) or some sort of crest, that would look classier for sure.
 
Skull or no skull, this is looking really nice. Even as a manual I'd be interested in one.
That the proceeds will do good is just icing on the cake :)
 
Ill ask again --- What percentage of your net on each item will go to charity?

If one of your selling points is that a percentage of the proceeds go to charity, and since you state the purpose of the knives is "to boost (y)our efforts to raise funds for charity", it's a reasonable and fair question. I've asked this before in this thread and in others but have yet to receive an answer.
 
Folks here is what we have come up with and today we just started taking orders. We can only 40 of them at this time.

The link to the new offering says: "25% of the profit from each Minuteman Pocket Knife sold goes to charities that assist veterans and their families."

Do you have a picture of the skull lanyard and sheath it comes with? Is each of the 40 include a serial number on the blade?

The TR-4 manual is a great big but light folder. I have one with stonewashed blade.

The Minuteman model is very similar to the DLC limited edition (500 pieces each individually numbered) with skull inlay on the handle, lanyard and skull bead. That one sells for $290 so the MM model at $315 is pretty good.

We don't have photo's of one with the skull lanyard or sheath but they will be just like the ones which come from the regular DLC Pro-Tech version. We will post additional photo's when we have them. The photo's we did post were taken by Dave at Pro-Tech for us.
 
I like it. I'd be in for one without the skull and if it had holes for lefty carry (looks like that would be an easy thing to do).

Will they be individually numbered just like the limited edition DLC one?

If things go well we will offer a version sans skull in 2016 by Pro-Tech is not able to offer us that this year due to production scheduling. Will keep the holes for lefty carry in mind as well.

Good question. We had not planned to number them but we may go ahead and add that. The reason were are limited to 40 is actually due to supply of parts. We may offer more later in the year though those may have some changes based on lessons learned from this first run.
 
As of right now we only have 35 left which we can offer from this first run.
 
How much did Minuteman contribute to charities benefitting veterans on the sale of the 50 Zero Tolerance 0801BWMM knives?

On those we donated $2000 to Mercury One ear marked for a fund they have set up for Military and families.

Speaking of charity currently we are considering donating funds raised from this effort to one of these three charities. Do any of you have experience with any of them?
