OK, I'm basically a lurker here (obviously few posts).

I've launched a product especially geared toward, among other things, knives. I just can't figure out what I need to do to post info here. Specifically:

- I assume I need a paid membership of some sort
- I can't figure out the best place to post, is it some dealer forum, maker forum (I'm both) or just one of the specific forums?

Somebody help out a fellow.

Cheers.
 
To clarify...

(I looked briefly at your website) You make the Mag-Block yourself, right?

That would indicate to me that you're not a dealer- IIRC, the rules define a dealer as somebody who buys and resells for profit.

Now, do you make them by hand, or are they manufactured for you?
I'm no moderator, but here's what I expect the answer is going to be:

If you make the product yourself, you probably need a Knifemaker membership. There are a couple guys making custom saps, knuckledusters, etc, and as far as I know, they're ok with Knifemaker.

On the other hand, if they're manufactured for you, then I'm guessing you'll need a Dealer membership, since Dealers and Manufacturers get lumped together.

BUT! Having said that, a mod will be along before too long here to give you the conclusive answer :)

Thanks for the help.

You're right, I'm the maker and no I don't have them made, I make them.

So, I think you're on the right track. I'll wait and hear some more opinions.

Thanks again.

Link removed as until you buy a membership at which point you can advertise your product. Since you are a maker you should purchase a Knifemaker membership.
 
The only trouble with a Knifemaker Membership is it would say "Knifemaker" after your name which could cause confusion. If you get a Platinum Membership you can give yourself a custom title, Magnet Maker or Magnetron or your business name or whatever you like. :cool:
 
True, he could do that. But isn't a Platinum Membership $10 more? How about making the option to change titles avaliable with the Knifemaker membership?
 
WHAT?????? NOT scam people out of the extra ten buck$??? What's wrong with you??? :eek:

Seriously, Platinum Membership comes with many valuable perks. Click on "Upgrade your forums experience, and help support this site" at the top of the page for details.
 
Thanks everybody.

I certainly had no intention of skirting the rules.

I'll look into upgrading.

I guess I'll have to go Platinum if I don't want it to say knifemaker. Maybe it doesn't matter.

Then why would you buy a Platinum Membership:confused:

Abouna should buy a Premium Knifemaker Membership, then he gets his own forum, lots of PM and Image space and....

OK, somebody help me here.

I was just about to get the Platinum membership but I'm not sure it will allow me to sell. It does give me the benefit of changing my description, which I like. But maybe I have to get a Knifemaker membership to sell.

I'm a bit confused. I don't mind the additional $10 but would like to know what's what. According to what Ken wrote last, I could do either. Just want to make sure.
