I would like to propose a Marketing/Fundraising idea for consideration and comment.
I propose that our corporate sponsors (Benchmade, Spyderco, Buck) offer special limited edition (Collectible) knives to AKTI members either directly or through AKTI.
Pricing should be such that the Company is not losing money and AKTI gets roughly what a Dealer/Retailer would normally get.
I would propose that quantities be limited to 2 knives per regular Ambassador(?) Member. I would allow the Silver and other "Premium" Members to purchase larger quantities for resale to non-AKTI customers.
Hopefully this would accomplish two things:
1. Raise funds for AKTI.
2. Increase interest in AKTI Membership.
