Brand Tone

Innovative & Modern, Craftsmanship-focused & Quality-conscious, Enthusiast-driven & Passionate, Accessible Premium, Confident & Bold

Brand Values

• •Innovation: Committed to the creation of innovative blades and tools.
• •Craftsmanship & Quality: Staying true to the qualities at the heart of traditional craftsmanship and using top-of-the-line manufacturing and materials.
• •Customer Focus & Community: Stated constant attention to the desires of our customers and fans and belief in the power of co-creation.
• •Value & Accessibility: Striving to offer accessible quality knives and competitive options without compromising on excellence, notably through CJRB and the strategic use of AR-RPM9 steel.
• •Design Excellence & Aesthetics: Aiming for a fusion of aesthetics, ergonomics, and creativity, creating knives that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.

Best Practices

• •Emphasize Craftsmanship and Innovation: Consistently weave in language that highlights both the traditional skill involved ("precision-crafted," "old-world craftsmanship") and the forward-thinking approach ("innovative design," "cutting-edge materials," "proprietary steel").
• •Speak to the Enthusiast, Welcome the Newcomer: Use terminology that resonates with experienced knife users (e.g., steel types, lock mechanisms, designer names) but ensure overall messaging is still inviting and explains benefits clearly for those newer to high-quality knives. Balance technical details with lifestyle appeal.
• •Showcase Material Quality and Aesthetics: Use vivid descriptions for materials (e.g., "stunning titanium," "rich Micarta," "vibrant Fat Carbon") and ensure product photography is high-quality, reflecting the aesthetic appeal and design details.
• •Highlight Value Across Tiers: Clearly differentiate the offerings (e.g., Artisan premium lines vs. CJRB or AR-RPM9 models) while reinforcing that quality and design intent are present at all levels. Focus on the "accessible premium" aspect.
• •Foster Community and Collaboration: Regularly feature designer collaborations, user-generated content (if appropriate and high quality), and community initiatives like design contests or Discord discussions in your communications. This reinforces the "co-creation" value.
