DLT Trading

DLT Trading began in the late 1990s as an online retailer of specialist knife brands that could be hard to find. Its growth included the acquisition of Oregon Knife Shop and its online sales business. Since 2012, the company has been based in Marinette, Wisconsin, where its e-commerce operation, warehouse, and retail storefront are located together.

The catalog can be browsed by maker or by type. It includes fixed-blade and folding knives, engraved pieces, and custom models, alongside brands such as Chris Reeve, Spyderco, Microtech, Rick Hinderer, Medford, Bark River, Benchmade, Kershaw, Case, and Swiss Army. That range works for shoppers seeking a specific maker as well as those comparing mechanisms, formats, and uses before choosing.

The selection goes beyond pocketknives. DLT organizes sections for kitchen, hunting, and fishing knives, along with sheaths, accessories, and blade-care products. Sharpening tools include stones, guided systems, strops, and honing rods—useful additions for maintaining gear and comparing different care options in one catalog.

For outdoor activities and everyday carry, the store groups axes, folding saws, flashlights, and multitools with gear that complements field knives. Shoppers can compare products from makers such as Hults Bruk, Silky, Olight, and Leatherman. Rather than operating as a general hardware store, the catalog centers on knives, EDC gear, and compact tools for camping or everyday use.

The custom shop is another core part of DLT. The company offers engraved knives for individual customers and corporate orders, and its commercial sales team can prepare a design sample before producing a full order. Work can incorporate logos and fonts, and laser engraving is done in-house. This service suits gifts, commemorative pieces, and company merchandise.

The website serves as both a store and a source of product information. New-arrival and restock sections highlight items that have just arrived or returned to inventory, while exclusive collections and staff picks help organize a broad selection. DLT also publishes videos and articles about knives, tools, and gear. Along with its rewards program, these resources add context before a purchase.

The Marinette storefront is part of an operation that also handles online orders. The team invites people in the area to visit and talk about knives and outdoor equipment. The company ships to several international markets, including Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Western Europe; available destinations and rates are confirmed during checkout.

For shoppers looking for a particular knife, an engraved piece, or tools for time outdoors, DLT brings specialist brands, product categories, and services together in one catalog. Its retail store, warehouse, e-commerce operation, and custom shop make it more than a product page: Marinette is where in-person service, order fulfillment, and personalization come together.
