In opening a store selling knives, there are some important things you need to take into account. These include the following:
Create a Business Plan
You can never run a knife selling business properly when you do not have a business plan. If you plan to start a knife shop today, you focus first in creating your business plan. When it comes to financing your business, this will assist you and even when you are lucky to have money to set up a business, a business plan would help you a lot when it comes to your business approach. It would increase the chances of your business to succeed. In creating a business plan, the following should be included:
- An executive summary about your knife shop. It should be written last after you are done with the ground work in writing a business plan. It is intended to sum up everything your business plan talks about.
- Your objectives. While the executive summary of your business plan includes a breakdown of the initial 3 years, your objectives must also be set for the first three years of business operation.
- Your mission. There are many people who start up a knife store view both the mission and objectives of their business plan as they are the same things. Keep in mind that the objectives you have are designed to help you in meeting your mission. In reaching a fundamental mission, you will need different smaller missions to complete such as attracting a specific turnover, reaching a specific number of customers, to sell a particular number of units of the product you offer. Your objectives will be there to meet the mission of your business.
Finding Reputable Suppliers of Your Products
Are you thinking of selling knives in different brands? What you need to do is to start looking for reputable suppliers online. You have to decide whether you want to work with local or international suppliers out there. Typically, it is best to deal with a local supplier so that you can easily get in touch with them if you have any concerns. Also, there are so many things that you can use to start looking for the best suppliers of high quality knives for your knife store. You can use the directories to easily find them or you can also use the internet to visit directly their websites and to gather more important information. It is not right to deal with the first company you met online. You should at least choose five different companies and compare them in terms of pricing, their credibility, their products, etc.

Well OK Bruce we will try! This may require some sleuthing and we may have more questions but let's see how it goes! By the way, truly a great 'box of knives'!
Buy your Dad a steak dinner!
I am especially drawn to the bottom pic, Schrade 15OT and what appears to be 2 Western Cutlery fixed blades, my favorites.
If you could provide closer pics of the tangs from knives in question, I may be of some help.
Thanks Brad
Attached a picture of tang stamp on soligen knife,The other side is stamped 13918 Soligen,Germany
Also close up of scandi knifes signed blood groove and stamp on handle
Yes that is a Schrade 150 (My Dads hunting knife my Grandfather bought with my Dads money cause he was tired of loaning his to my Dad ) The knife to the left is also a Schrade #148 the forerunner to the Old Timer line and the furthest to the right is a Kinships Y330

Bruce, a few answers--
1- The fist holding 3 arrows is not a makers mark, it is an importers mark-.
Owned by Precise International Corporation of Suffern NY. That mark was used 1954-1966. Knives with this mark were made by Schlieper; also by Voos, Linder, and other mfrs in Solingen, Germany.
2-Your other knife is a Iisaaki Jarvenpaa Oy- The oldest knife company in Finland-- Still in business, and have been since 1898. These are tough to date, because they never used any type of date code.If you can provide some good individual pictures of the knives you have questions about, I will try to help you narrow the dates down if I can-- The Finnish knives from this Mfg. sometimes have subtle differences that help date it-- I know, cuz I have a horsehead puuko knife from the same Mfg. I found there were minor differences in the horsehead that helped date it-- Same may be true with yours--- I'll have to brush up on my Finnish in the meantime--LOL
Utility Knives
Thanks John
As all ways a wealth of knowledge. .
I am starting to really like these Scandi knives
The other knife by same maker is a knife that fits well to the hand and has a deadly edge
I posted more pics of the older knife
Thanks again for the info

Bruce, Iisaaki Jarvenpaa Oy knives are very well made and considered by most the best made of the major Finnish knife companies--I can't get a decent photo of my blade etch right now,(pouring rain and interior lights show too many reflections) but I suspect your knife may be fairly early. Your etch looks hand done, and even mine circa WWII appears to be machine etched.I will show you a clear photo of the blade etch of a more modern one, basically the same as mine-- You can see the difference. BTW, they used the Finnish Moose etch, or variations there of, on lots of their knves-- ( there are moose in Finland)-- anyhow, here is a clear blade etch to compare to from a more modern knife-
I love the Finnish blade, I have a soft spot for scandi grinds. The one on the left of the last picture looks like a Spanish made blade.

Doug, I agree that knife has kind of a Spanish feel- However, if you look at the enlarged photo- Inside the filagree on the blade near the tip , you will see it is made by Cutco-- out of New York.
Yes that is a Cutco knife I believe they call it a White Puma? My nephew sold Cutco working his way thru college
( A very sharp lad ) This knife is a brute. Knife and sheath together weigh 9 oz. Here is the sheath I made for the older finnish knife. And a picture of the newer Iisaaki Jarvenpaa
knife with factory sheath and markings on blade. Would like to know date of this knife if someone knows.
John , If there are moose in finland I hope they look like Bullwinkle J. Because according to my critics ( Wife and daughter )
Thats what mine looks like. Starting to clean up knives in box and will show as I go. I am leaving the older Jarvenpaa as is
Business In A Box Knife Set
