have not seen many case advertising knives,
but has me confused a little, because of script on pile side..


is this a sample or proof as stated for their consideration
prior to purchasing a run

thanks cato

That's a pretty nice advertising knife. I would think that might be an initial run given to execs and employees. Customers would get the pen knives.

Wonderful knife. I would imagine the proof part would ever to a seed trial of some sort. It is not uncommon for seed and fertilize companies to give expensive gifts to the farmers involved in their projects.

That's a great find.

Great find! Wade is correct. It was probably an incentive or reward given to farmers for trying a new feed the company is introducing to the market. Here's an example https://www.purinamills.com/cattle-feed ... proof-pays

Wow, ken that's some interesting info. I guess a nice knife would be a drop in the bucket if it led to the successful launch of a new seed strain or feed combo.

One of the grain companies gave one of the big grain farmers at my church a brand new Browning A5 all dressed up with their name and some engraving last year.
