They DO have a reseller program.  You got to search around, but they have one if you want to test the market, etc.

Here's a video of a guy who makes cutlery knives in Brooklyn:

Thought you would appreciate it DB.  He also talks about Japanese knives a bit.

Hmmm... Any kind of cutlery would be possible. There's the restaurant business to think about too. I shall investigate. This could be a fun area that apparently is SEO'd by amateurs.

This could be good. There are cooking cutlery shops that make a big deal out of the quality of German kitchen knives, but these Japanese knives with Damascus steel blades, surpass those.

I liked him:) And he answered a question I had about heat and screwing up a tempered blade... good to know. But it kinda screws up my idea for welding. Now I have to figure out something else. Maybe weld to the titanium thumb studs(?)

What's wrong with a plastic doohickey like the one you first put on there?

It looks a little too ghetto for the long haul, but it will have to do until I meet a welder w very small hands:)

Pretty good interview with an owner of a knife shop, they look amazing... Still need to order one.
