Price per piece drops at 10, 25, 50, 100. You do not have to take 10 of the same thing: the mill counts mixed colours and finishes in this material toward the same break, so ask us to mix your 10 and we will price the whole run at the better break.

What is the Bison River Blue/Bone Folding Knife?
The Bison River Blue/Bone Folding Knife is what most buyers mean when they ask for a knife that will not look cheap in six months. It measures 3 1/2" closed/6 3/4" open. This is the blue colorway.
In practice: built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer..
A well-made knife is kept and used for decades, and it is the rare recognition gift that a recipient will hand to someone else to look at. Decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top.
Above handout territory. The value here is in choosing recipients deliberately, because the object is good enough that the choosing is part of the message. Concretely: $33.00 each at 1-11, $20.46 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 2.1 in x 1.75 in.
Laser Engraving
A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.
Best for
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Color
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Best for
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Color
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.

Common uses
Service anniversariesA natural fit for service anniversaries, which is one of the settings this knife was specified for.
Field and trade crew recognitionWorks well for field and trade crew recognition, where the knife format does what a printed handout cannot.
Executive and client giftingA natural fit for executive and client gifting, which is one of the settings this knife was specified for.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
1
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. The order arrives before the results do, which means engraving strategy is the real decision. Generic plates with a separate engraved insert let you produce early and personalize late, and that is usually the difference between hitting the date and missing it. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Volume takes it to $20.46, which widens the list without cheapening it.
2
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. If you are marking five or ten years of someone's working life, the piece has to carry weight. Literally and otherwise. Personalization with the individual's name is what converts a company gift into a personal keepsake, and it is the single highest-leverage decision in a recognition program. A well-made knife is kept and used for decades, and it is the rare recognition gift that a recipient will hand to someone else to look at. The gesture is the product here. Spend the thought, not just the budget.
3
Construction, Trades & Field Services
On a job site, an item survives or it disappears. Crews compare what they were given. Handing out two grades of the same item across a site causes more friction than giving nothing at all, so buy one specification deep rather than two shallow. Decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top. At $33.00 before breaks, name the recipients rather than filling a table.
4
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. The recipient is rarely the decision maker you are trying to reach, which is the part most programs get wrong. Choose something that will sit in a shared space rather than a drawer, and the gift starts working on people who were never on your list. The knife format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. This reads as a gift. Give it to people you chose, not people who walked past.
5
Automotive & Dealerships
Delivery day is the highest-emotion moment in the customer relationship. A keychain, a tumbler or a desk piece handed over with the keys attaches itself to that memory. Service-department giveaways work on a different logic, frequency, not sentiment, so unit cost matters far more there. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.
6
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Procurement documentation often takes longer than production. Quotes with fixed validity periods, documented lead times and clear line-item pricing move faster through approval than a better price presented informally. Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer.. $33.00 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.
How does ordering and turnaround work?

What do buyers ask about BR1252?
What artwork do you need from me?
Send vector if it exists, raster at 300 dpi if it does not, and whatever you have if neither. The personalization area on BR1252 is 2.1 in x 1.75 in, and we redraw or re-proportion anything that will not survive it. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on BR1252 runs from $33.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $20.46 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Yes, and nothing runs until you have signed it off. Read it properly rather than skimming, because the approved proof is the specification we produce against. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. BR1252 sells from a single unit at $33.00, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on BR1252 runs from $33.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $20.46 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
How long does production take?
Door to door at standard speed: a day for the proof, 3 to 5 business days in production, then 1 to 5 business days in transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What is the minimum order for BR1252?
BR1252 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on BR1252 runs from $33.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $20.46 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on BR1252 is 2.1 in x 1.75 in.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 2.1 in by 1.75 in. Engraving is charged on the share your artwork actually covers, so a smaller logo costs less. Place yours on the product above and the price updates as you size it.
- At 50 pieces this costs less than 50% of the 3,730 other priced items in Awards & Recognition.
- The table starts at 12 because below that the engraving setup costs more than the goods, and we will not guess at a price there. Ask us and we will quote a smaller run from your artwork.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 12.
