Certificate of Authenticity
As a handmade item, an artisan made knife should have a quality, individual Certificate of Authenticity (COA) accompany them to prove the provenance of the knife.
Working with you, we can create a COA for your knives, this can have as little, or as much information about the knife as you like, a spot for makers signature and information, and can be individualised to include an image of each individual knife, this ensures provenance is never mistaken, or copied, therefore stopping any fraudulent sellers.
-
As a maker this adds value to your knife as well as showing pride in your work by supplying a 'special' COA.
-
As a purchaser this ensures you are buying a legitimate product.
-
As a collector it ensures provenance, adding value to your collection in the future.
As a maker, if you are not supplying a COA with each purchase, better yet an individual COA with image(s) of that knife to the purchaser, you definitely should be.
As a purchaser, if you are not receiving a COA, or better yet an individual COA with image(s) of the purchased knife, with every purchase, you should be requesting one.
