Your logo is the gateway to your brand image. Its letters, its graphic design tell the story of your company. Its visual reflects the values of your brand identity. It signs your emails, seals your packages, and formalizes your invoices. Give it an even more unifying role by immortalizing it on artisanal knives. Offering a knife engraved with your emblem is to please your collaborators and strengthen team cohesion. For your partners, it testifies to your ethics of quality and tradition. Adorned with family coats of arms, the blade perpetuates the soul of previous generations. The JHP workshop presents personalized knives with your logo, laser engraved on demand.
Why offer a knife engraved with your company logo?
Visual identity: A corporate message
A company logo is a strong identification mark. Thanks to this symbol, prospects, customers, partners, or collaborators, all immediately recognize your company. Consistent with your graphic charter, it carries a message: yours! Thus, you see a bitten apple, you think innovation, you notice a black check, and bam, you do it! The logo conveys your values and strengthens your brand image: tradition or avant-gardism, popular or high-end, etc.
Engraved on an artisanal knife, your logo immediately endorses strong notions of tradition, cultural heritage, know-how, and respect for the local economy.
To your collaborators for united teams
A sense of belonging
No, a knife engraved with your company logo is not a simple promotional object. It’s a strong symbol of belonging to your organization. Just as teambuilding brings collaborators closer, owning the same knife reminds each one of their adhesion to the group. Brand company, corporate branding, brand image, icon, so many terms that define your values, your mission, and your vision of the world.
Human beings are not made to live alone. Historically, they have always grouped together to better ensure the survival of the species. Offering a knife with your logo to your collaborators is to value the spirit and cohesion of the group.
Recognition of work accomplished
The high-end artisanal knife is a noble and prestigious object. Offering it to your employees proves your respect for them and their work. Let’s remember that the need for recognition is among the five fundamental needs of Maslow’s pyramid. According to the parlonsrh site, 78% of employees declare the valorization (symbolic or material) of their efforts as a motivating factor.
Company anniversary, seminars, teambuilding, Christmas, retirement, work medal, so many occasions to thank your collaborators for their loyalty.
The emblem of your sports club maybe?
To your network: Clients, suppliers, and partners for a strong image
Stand out from the usual goodies and innovate with an ancestral product! The knife has accompanied men and women in daily life since prehistoric times. In the kitchen, in the garden, in the forest, for DIY or picnics, a blade is indispensable.
We are in the 21st century, gone are the frivolous promotional trinkets, consumers want responsible, durable, and useful objects.
Offer an artisanal knife engraved with your logo to your clients, prospects, partners, and you attach your company’s brand image to traditional and cultural values. A beautiful way to spread a message of durability.
Naturally, the happy owners of this nice high-end knife attribute quality and trust to you.
Personalized knife with your coat of arms: A family heritage
Since antiquity, great families have used recognition emblems. We find them in texts (blazons), on shields, sword pommels, etc. Coats of arms appear in the Middle Ages. They take up ensigns, banners, and seals. They respond to a need for identification (for combats or tournaments). Heraldry estimates that the oldest coats of arms date from 1127, during the knighting of Geoffrey Plantagenet by Henry I, King of England.
Nowadays, we find family crests on rings, especially signet rings, cufflinks, or engraved on walls, etc.
Offering a knife engraved with the family blazon transmits heritage and perpetuates the tradition of previous generations.
Custom dictates that a knife is entrusted to newlyweds, scouts, communicants, those who join the army or active life, etc. Note that girls and women appreciate knives as much as men.
Offering a knife is also a recurrent practice when a person changes professional career or company, when they retire. Life’s turning points are often accompanied by a good pocket knife. They are also very useful for those who decide to travel around the world. The Trapper knife adapts very well to a nomadic life.

How to choose your personalized knife with your effigy?
For a person
If you offer a knife engraved with a logo to a particular person, then choose it according to the latter.
🔪 Fixed knife or folding knife according to their lifestyle and preferred activities.
🔪 Mini, standard, or XL knife according to the size of their hands.
🔪 Damascus, Raw forge, or stainless steel knife according to their tastes and intended use.
🔪 Knife with a blue vulcanized fiber line.
🔪 Knife with three mini mammoth ivory inlays.
🔪 Message-bearing knife and there, friends, everything is allowed… within the character limit (different depending on the models).
🔪 Knife engraved with a font that resembles them.
🔪 Knife representative of hobbies and personality thanks to the engraving of a cryptogram.
For offering to a group
If you dedicate the knife with your logo to your teams, then it’s essential to reflect on the common values that unite and make your group strong.
A pocket knife, compact and functional, embodies a dynamic, practical, and adaptable image, perfect for teams on the move.
A fixed knife, robust and elegant, highlights values of stability, longevity, and conviviality. It reflects the solid and family character of your company (kitchen or table knife). A true symbol of commitment and tradition.
The choice of steel
The steel of your knife plays an essential role in the image you wish to convey. The Raw Forge range offers an authentic and robust aesthetic.
Stainless steel, notably Sandvik 14C28N steel, is distinguished by its brilliance and satin aspect. It brings a modern and refined side.
😔 Note that the engraving of your logo is not available on Damascus steel, which is recognized by its unique moiré patterns. The laser technique would not be qualitative.
😊 However, it is possible to engrave on the thickness of the blade for a subtle and particularly elegant result. On folding knives, we can engrave your initials or a first name (up to 8 characters) on the back of the handle.
Engraved knives: Other possible personalizations
At the JHP workshop, the personalization of your knife is not limited to the engraving of your logo. We offer an extended range of options to make your knife truly unique and perfectly adapted to your tastes and your history.
Personalized knife with a first name, a message: our best tips and ideas here to engrave your emotion.
Besides Nicolas Peyron’s artistic pictograms, which bring a personal touch to the knife, other options further refine your personalization. You can engrave a special message, like a quote or a slogan, and choose from five distinct typefaces, inspired by the rock’n’roll spirit according to the image you wish to convey. Each font confers a different personality to your knife, thus making your engraving even more meaningful.
Want even more exclusivity? Add mammoth ivory, a rare and precious material, or a blue vulcanized fiber line for a modern and elegant contrast. These decorative elements enhance the design of the knife and guarantee a careful and refined finish.
We think of every detail so that your knife is not only a performing tool but also a true collector’s item, imbued with personality and memory.
Finally, to protect and highlight your precious knife, we offer various cases, sheaths, or pouches, combining practicality and aesthetics.
Morta: The other messenger of your values
The handles of Morta knives are made from a unique local wood in Brière. Remained buried in peat for 5,000 years, this marsh oak is today undergoing fossilization. The alternation of brown and black mineral layers gives it an almost ebony color enhanced with some caramel reflections. A very strict regulation defines its extraction. Zone, quantity, methods, everything is thought out for respect of the fauna and flora of the marshes. The Brière Regional Natural Park, the Synodical Commission of the Great Brière Mottière, and biodiversity services agree on a list of measures that the operator must respect.
Offering a Morta knife is putting 5,000 years in the pocket of your collaborators and partners.
So if your company advocates the importance of know-how and the quality of materials, then the Morta knife engraved with your logo will be your faithful messenger.
I have knives engraved with my logo.
Your logo, your effigy, your coat of arms engraved on a knife personalize the object and especially transform it into your spokesperson. An artisanal knife with a quality steel blade, a noble wooden handle, handmade in Brière becomes a message in itself. Its beauty reflects the height of your company’s or family’s vision.
