What do you like to get?

[CUTS LIKE A KRIS]

I was wondering what custom collectors like to receive with their knives from the makers. In the past I've gotten a sheath, card, and that sums it up. To me that seems lacking. For the last couple of knives that I have made I've sent a template based info sheet with them, as well as sheaths- even if they are not very good. It seems more personal to have a bit about the maker, the reasoning behind the design, an explanation of materials etc. to go with the custom aspect of the knives. As well I like to make some kind of display piece for the knife as I really want what I make to be used and seen rather than hidden away. I'm also thinking about giving one of these keychains away with the knives (damascus for special customers/knife requests, plain for most other knives):

WHat would you like to see come with your knives?

Please feel free to comment on my descriptive write up, and here are a couple of display stands I've made (the big antler and wood one was my first KSO, so I know it was rough-OK ugly but that was the design given to me and I needed money)

Thanks for the input!

I appreciate most if I can get an honestly done job. The proof is in the pudding.

Burt Foster does it right!

At the very least, it's nice to get a friggin receipt!

I guess I'm off base thinking that collectors would like more with their knives, thanks for the response you two.
