Best Practices

• •Lead with the Maker and the Material: The audience values craftsmanship and detail. Always start with the most important information: the name of the knife/tool, the maker, and the key materials. This shows respect for the product and the customer's knowledge.
• •Use a "Knowledgeable, Not Arrogant" Tone: Write as an expert sharing a passion, not a salesperson pushing a product. Use technical terms correctly and confidently, assuming your audience understands them. Avoid overly salesy or generic language ("amazing," "incredible").
• •Emphasize Scarcity and Curation: Use language that highlights the exclusivity and special nature of your inventory. Phrases like "Limited Run," "Just Dropped," "A rare configuration," and "Curated selection" reinforce the brand's value proposition.
• •Keep it Clean and Direct: Much like the designs of the products you sell, your copy should be clean, precise, and purposeful. Avoid fluff. Short, declarative sentences are often more powerful than long, winding descriptions.
• •Tag and Credit Generously: In all social media copy, consistently tag the makers, designers, and even customers (with permission). This reinforces the brand's role as a community hub and shows respect for the ecosystem of creators.
