The Great American Knife Tour™ Sponsorship

The Great American Knife Tour is a 25-day road trip through the East side of America, July 1 through 25, 2026. 35 makers, in a Honda Pilot, my daughter running the camera, and every stop filmed and shared with the community. Nothing like it has ever been done before in the knife industry, and a sponsorship is how you get to be part of the first one.

Look, I don’t know if this tour is a good “financial decision.” Our estimates show the cost of the tour will exceed $11,000 just with gas, food, lodging, and other logistics costs. But we are doing this as a leap of faith. I think it matters to show how USA Made knives are being made. I think it matters knowing who’s making your knives. I thing The Great American Knife Tour™ is important and I’m hoping you will help chip in and financially contribute.

Pick the tier that fits and we've included fun perks to reward your generosity.

Alternatively, just buy more knives!!! 🤠

Sponsorship Tiers 

Aux Cord | Gas Sponsorship. Add a song to the official tour playlist. The playlist is public and stays up for the whole community to play long after we get home, so your pick rides along the whole way. Your song goes on the list, simple as that. Playlist on Apple Music 

Shotgun | Food Sponsorship. Tell us where to eat. Part of the beauty of a roadtrip is discovering new foods. With your help and recommendations, we can visit your favorite spots. Even recommend what to order! 

Director's Chair | Video Commission Sponsorship. You submit a short video idea and we make it. Knife related, silly, a challenge, your call. Videos are produced in the order they come in, on the road and after the tour wraps, so the work gets done either way. A few ground rules, nothing dangerous, nothing involving religion, politics, or firearms, and nothing aimed at a real person or business. Final creative call stays with me so it lands right and stays on brand. This tier is limited to 25 spots for the life of the tour.

On the Record | Lodging Sponsorship. We are away from home for a very long time! This directly helps support our lodging. Send in a question and we ask a maker on camera. If a few sponsors land on the same maker we run it as a speed round, and every question gets its sponsor credited no matter what.*

Additional Info

However you pitch in, you get named. Every sponsor gets a public shoutout, and every Friday we draw one name from that week's sponsors to win a free year of our paid Patreon tier.

This is patronage, plain and simple. You are helping a first of its kind tour celebrate American knife making in the year America turns 250. Every dollar goes to the road. Thank you for being part of it.

Before adding to cart, add your song, meal pick, video idea, or maker question in the tactical notes. 

Let me end by being clear about one thing, if you choose to financially support The Great American Knife Tour™, we appreciate it. And we will make it fun in the ways described. But the priority will always be safety, health, and morality first. Additionally, the knife makers will take president over tier prizes. If there’s a decision tree, the maker coverage will be in first position.
