I need some help with a name...and a design for my blade stamp and business cards/website.
I had thought about calling it
Rayzorbak Custom Knives....not sure about the stamp or logo or anything...but my wife says I should go back to the drawing board on that one.
What do you think? If anyone can come up with something, and help me with the graphics part of it, I will make the chosen designer a knife.
How does that sound?

Curtis had a cool outline of big boar head he used for 2nd Sweat Hunt shirts. Not sure if it's his design or someone else's but you could ask him.

MOTO: If my blades will cut completely thru the sammiches I eat, they will cut ANYTHING you throw at them.
O.K............Now that I gave you the winning combo, when are you building my free knife?? LOL!!!

I actually really like Custom Cutters with two "C's" made to look like Hog cutters for your blade stamp and logo.

Use your name.
Some day down the road, a person will be looking at one of your knives that says "Rays..... or Razor.....," etc. and not have a CLUE who made it!!
What's wrong with Ray Hammond Knives for a company name?
For a logo, put an "R" and an "H" back-to-back.

I just might do it too. Not that I am even close to you guys in talent yet, but we'll work on that part.

Very clean, could be incorporated into a business card, web page and should make for a very nice stamp on the blades.

Skull and Stickbowslim, send me an email with your contact information so I can them to you when finished, OK? [email protected]
Thanks everyone for your help.
Skullworks- could you change logo 1 please, to read RAY HAMMOND instead of RAY HAMMONDS? and send me in a high resolution format in an email so I can use for business cards and website?
Thank you very much.

That is a sweet looking logo and an classy sounding name so long as the reader doesn't know who Ray Hammond is. HAHA!
Good luck in this venture. If your first one is any indication of the destination, it should be a heck of a ride, ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP!!!!
God Bless,
Brian

I have not progressed to the point that I would sell a knife yet. I only have one that I made (a small skinner in an arm guard sheath), but gave all the rest away. The first question everyone asks is "why isn't your name on the knife?”
Not to upset anyone but here is my opinion on marking your knife. I hold this opinion to give honor to the craftsman and how he makes his knives. I feel if you forge your blades they should be stamped with your mark. Forging to me is the true art of knife making and the stamps should be reserved for them, where as if you make your blades via stock removal you should etch your mark.
