Ok Guys. Time to tell everyone what I have been working on lately.

I decided a while back to go ahead and expand my Idea of just making custom sheaths to making a full on internet store. It has been a lot of work figuring all the business stuff out and trying to make a website that I am happy with. Everything is now ready to go and I am gonna do my absolute best to create one of the nicest online stores ever.

To start, I am gonna try and carry everything Becker Knife and Tool has to offer. It will be hard at first for me to keep everything in stock since I am just starting out but eventually I will have it all. I am gonna start with a few ESEE Products, and slowly add to the inventory. I am also gonna carry a few other items like Silky Saws and stuff like that. Oh, also gonna start with a few ZT Folders I think. I am really starting to love those knives.

Also, I am proud to announce that I am a Firebox dealer. I just love their stoves and want to be able to bring them to my customers.

So really, I am not gonna have a super huge selection of stuff for people to buy, just enough of the best products I can find. I want to have experience with all the products so If someone has a question about it, I can tell them all about it as well as my experiences with it.

Also working on a used knife section and figuring out trade in options.

There is so much more that I have planned, I will let you all know in time as things start to happen.

And there is one more thing I am gonna make sure to do. That is give out free stainless hardware and a nice allen Key with every new Becker Purchase. That's right. I can't stand when the factory screws start to rust and I know how hard it is for some people, depending on where you live, to find the correct sizes. So I give it to you so you have one less thing to worry about.

I am also selling three types of hardware for each Becker. 1) regular stainless steel 2) black oxide coated stainless steel for those of you who like the blacked out look but want stainless 3) nice stainless steel slotted head so you do not need an allen wrench to tighten your handles. These are really large head slotted screws, almost as large as the stock screw head.


I am still gonna do the custom sheaths and ferro rods and some other things I am working on, but gonna get this off the ground first. My kid starts back to school in a couple of weeks and I plan to get back in the shop and get some stuff pumped out for you guys then.

I just wanna take a second to thank everyone on this forum for being so supportive and awesome. Also thank you to Mooze for giving me some pointers and help with this business stuff. Thank you Todd for your support as well. I have made many friends here and hope to make many more. You guys really are the Best!

If anyone has any questions or ever needs something that is not on my website, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The name of my company is Coyle Outdoors. You can find me online at coyleoutdoors.com.

Thank you all again, this community really has changed my life and I appreciate all the awesome support.

Even though you let me in on this a little while ago it is still exciting! Congratulations on starting your own business. I hope it proves out to be a good thing for you and your family.

I still love the sheath you made me. Everyone, Dex means business when he says he wants to please the customer. Just talking to him on the phone I could feel the energy flowing out of him.

I just browsed your site! Very cool!

Some things I noticed-

~Fair prices
~Fun, very Fun
~Site seems to be about making people happy and building a community, not about making $$$
~Sick craftsmanship and pictures
 
Thank you Guys! Means so much to me to have all of your support.

It was something I wasn't sure I wanted to get into or not, but here we are. I decided to just go for it and do the absolute best I can. I know how happy I am every time I get a new knife. Now I get to put awesome knives in the hands of people and help make them happy! To me, that is very cool.

And man, I already checked all the 16's I ordered. Not a single saber ground one in the whole bunch. haha. :D

Wow! This ZT is so nice. Should have got some of these sooner. lol

So I have lot's of 16's and 9's. Everything else I just have a few of till things pick up.

And please let me know if you see anything on the site that is off or wrong or anything. I've done the whole thing myself so there are bound to be a couple of errors. I appreciate all and any feedback from you guys.

Thanks again! I am super excited to get this ball rolling!
 
Awesome, Dex. I've got the site bookmarked, I will definitely be floating some business your way in the coming months. Very nice looking site.
 
Congrats Dex!
The website looks great. Clean and easy to navigate.
I wish you all the best in your new venture!

I got the first comment in on the ferro rods! Boo-Yeah!! :D

And here's a pic for you all showing the awesomeness of the ferro rod:



 
Congratulations! The website looks great! This is totally awesome, as they say around here! :D:thumbup:
