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 Wood Handle Button Lock Knife?
A wood knife, catalogued here as BR1501. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. It measures 4 1/2" closed/8" open.
Wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
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. Laser engraving burns directly into the grain for a permanent mark. Expect slight tonal variation between pieces. The two together are why this item re-orders.
This is relationship spend. Key accounts, long service, the people who genuinely moved a number: the list should be short and every piece should carry a name. Concretely: $54.00 each at 1-11, $33.48 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 2.7 in x 2.25 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
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
Production schedule
| Artwork proof | 1 business day from receipt of usable art |
|---|---|
| Standard production | 3 to 5 business days after proof approval |
| Rush production | quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Ground transit | 1 to 5 business days depending on destination |
Common uses
Service anniversariesBuilt for service anniversaries. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Field and trade crew recognitionSpecified regularly for field and trade crew recognition. The imprint area at 2.7 in x 2.25 in is sized for exactly that job.
Executive and client giftingWorks well for executive and client gifting, where the knife format does what a printed handout cannot.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
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. Awards are read as a hierarchy whether or not you intended one. If the participation piece and the champion piece look similar, the champion feels short-changed, and that is remembered longer than the result. The knife format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Even at volume it holds $33.48, which tells you what tier this is.
2
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. Consistency is what makes a recognition program credible. If a ten year award looks better this year than it did last year, everyone who got last year's version notices. Lock the specification and the supplier, and treat the item list as something you change deliberately rather than annually. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.
3
Construction, Trades & Field Services
On a job site, an item survives or it disappears. Durability is the whole specification: insulated drinkware that shrugs off a truck bed, headwear that lives outdoors, and decoration that cannot scrape off. Crew gifting in this sector is a retention tool in a labour market where retention is expensive. Wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate.. At $54.00 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.
4
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. Timing beats budget in this segment. The same gift sent a week after a renewal lands completely differently from one sent in December with four hundred others, because in January it is the only thing on the desk. Buy for the calendar you control rather than the one everybody shares. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.
5
Automotive & Dealerships
Delivery day is the highest-emotion moment in the customer relationship. Anything that goes in or on a vehicle gets judged against the vehicle. A cheap keychain handed over with a car undercuts the purchase in a way that giving nothing would not, which makes this one of the few segments where under-spending is the bigger risk. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.

What do buyers ask about BR1501?
Do you ship to multiple addresses?
Yes, through a quote. Card checkout ships one order to one address, so for a split run send the address list with a quote request and we confirm the freight for every destination in writing before you pay. The artwork is proofed once and applied across the whole run. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
What artwork do you need from me?
Vector artwork is ideal (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) with all type converted to outlines. High-resolution raster at 300 dpi or better also works, and a logo saved from a website is worth sending anyway. We check it against the 2.7 in x 2.25 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. BR1501 sells from a single unit at $54.00, 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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of BR1501 in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on BR1501 runs from $54.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $33.48 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Is there a setup charge?
No. Setup is free on every order at every quantity. Art preparation, machine setup and your digital proof are built into the price, with nothing added for them later. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
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 BR1501 runs from $54.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $33.48 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What is the minimum order for BR1501?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on BR1501. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The price per piece only goes down as the quantity rises. The published ladder on BR1501 runs from $54.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $33.48 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
