guys.
say you wanted to promote a knife company specializing in military/police knives at a military expo.
which knife brand would you partner with?
i have selected benchmade and ontario.
ive heard that ontario makes knives for the us army.
 
busse knives are cool but their pricing isnt.
do they supply to the armed forces?
benchmade has some army issued knives.so does ontario.
 
I waited 4 months for my Scrapyard Regulator because they were filling military orders first.

At 99 bucks I'd call it a steal for a blade of its quality.

A lot of their designs are the designs derived from military orders, they take care of us troops.

Busse/kin and Esee, because i respect companies that are able to offer that kind of warranty.
 
For folders - definitely Spyderco. For fixed blades, I think I'd stick to Ka-Bar.
Both companies make quality yet affordable knives.
 
benchmade, or ZT, then ESEE for fixed blades.

I would work with people before corporations. If i were a business owner I think working with a few people would be easier than dealing with a corporate sales deparment. I would choose ESEE over Ontario without much thought.
 
ESEE is a solid bet. Swamprat and Scrapyard would sell better than Busse only because of the price tag. Becker would be good too. No offense but I don't see too many Army guys carrying Mora knives.

what about ontario knives guys?

The army admitted awhile ago, that they don't even train with the bayonet now, so the fact that Ontario stock has an NSN number means little there.
