Yoyoexpert wristband!

Doesnā€™t mean a kid canā€™t cut himself or other kids with it.

Or I can use my Leatherman. Making customized knives at a low enough cost would demand using low quality tools.

There is absolutely no need for a YYE Army knife.

As for the wrist band idea, I support it. Wouldnā€™t wear one myself, but making them would be relatively cheap, and Iā€™m sure they would sell well.

Not saying its a good idea, but any kid who can order from here knows not to play games with knives. If they wanted to, they could go in the kitchen. Any kid who did cut someone, would be VERY disturbed.

And there are a lot of VERY disturbed people out there.

An anodized knife?
Surely, you jest about that.
Could it cut butter?

Um can we stop arguing about a stupid pocket knife to prevent a thread with a legitimate idea to get locked?

Why would it get locked? Two mods just commented and didnā€™t warn anyone off about where the topic was going.

Not that I think a knife would be a good idea, but I just like to see these threads wander around. No telling what you end up talking about.

Back on topicā€¦

I think wristbands are a great idea! In fact Iā€™m wearing one right now!

Thereā€™s a lot of places that can make silicone wrist bands. I even have some made:

The thing is, the Werrd holder bad is very thick, durable and should stand up to more abuse than most wrist bands. Mine,in comparison, are NOT as thick and arenā€™t going to hold up as long or as well as the Werrd holder. I even made my own holder thatā€™s modeled on the Werrd one, and even though itā€™s functionally fine, Iā€™m NOT going to use it.

If you want one of my wrist bands, the are for sale. All proceeds go to a good cause: 'cause I needs MONEY! This yoyo habit ainā€™t cheap!  But Iā€™m not here to try to make sales. I do have dog tags, lanyards and pins too. I also have buttons and pens, so hit me up at BAC for Studio42 swag, which is ONLY sold at events and you gotta ask for it! I might make a little display for BAC.

I think a YYE wrist band would be cool. I would recommend that like with mine, use some color for highlighting the artwork so it stands out. Otherwise, youā€™re not fully leveraging what the item can do.

I wear my wrist band everywhere I go. Iā€™ve broken 2, so Iā€™m on my third.

We have thought about it in the past actually! So you may see something like this someday. :slight_smile:

Cool beans!

Make it like the werrd holder

My pocketknife JUST qualifies as a toolā€¦

Ha, people cut their faces with yoyos all the time, and those arent even sharpened edges.

Iā€™d really consider having them done. If you need some places that do this, let me know and Iā€™ll point you at them. Mine came out to a reasonable price, but mine was a batch of 100. Youā€™d probably do like 5000, which would blow your cost per unit down to super low!

Thereā€™s so many choices of colors, color options and so on. You put one on every day, and if you need fast marketing, give it away. I had one of mine on at CalStates. Iā€™ll have one at BAC. Let me know if you want one. Iā€™ll have my ā€œbox of swagā€ with me.

People LOVE the wristbands.

I make holstersā€¦ and I have yye colorsā€¦

Me gusta!

Itā€™d be a pleasant surprise to get one of those with the trading card pack and the rest of the free stickers in each purchase. Itā€™s those small, cheap additions that make YYE much more fun than the alternatives. If you do these, Iā€™d like to see how many I can collect.
