I've been doing my "Johnny Knifeseed" schtick for a month now, have given out around 30 little SAK-clones as tips, random gifts, etc. Gotten nothing but positive reactions.
The first 30 set me back about 75c each (new Uticas from SMKW's site). Got a bulk-lot of 30 TSA-confiscated SAK-clones for $14.
I imagine that I can bring the price even lower if I buy by the hundred or gross. Looking for a decent little stainless-steel folder, overseas-made is fine. Either a little mini-SAK keychain ring, or an inexpensive pseudo-Buck type. Nothing too hi-speed or threatening looking, just a cute little keychain knife.
The overall intent is for more and more folks to view a pocketknife as a useful tool that all responsible adults carry. I make special effort to leave them as tips (in addition to 20% cash tip) at hippie coffeeshops, college-kid waiters, etc.
If I could afford it, I'd leave Douk-Douks. However, as it stands now I'm looking at the 50c-75c range for a big ol' bagfull o' cheapies. $10 a month to get 20 kids to, maybe, carry a pocketknife -- worthwhile investment.
Ideas?
Thanks, -MV
