This unique investigation is available at a very strategic time. 2008 is very likely to have broken, or to break, sales records of electric bicycles on nearly every continent, and the technology offers more than ever before available.

What does this technology entail?
What are considerations for making a purchase in this new technology?

This eBook answers these and additional questions, functioning as a market orientation and reference resource for consumers, and perhaps providing manufactures with additional information about the needs, interests, and current options available to their future customers.

This document also cites additional and timely resources for anyone who wishes to delve further or more widely into this industry.

Nautical Knives: A Guide to the Market
Initial Publication: August 2008
15 pages, 0.8 MB.
Portable Document Format (PDF).
Adobe Reader required.

This document will be posted online in late August 2008.

This document introduces and describes a very specialized line of products for a very specialized type of consumer - sailors. Sailors need a specialized kind of knife, and the market has several offerings. However, a case can be made that there is room for further improvement, at least in part.

The status and suggestions in this document could benefit the first manufacturer that fully embraces certain findings. This investigation does not negate current market accomplishments, nor does it endorse the work of any specific knife maker. This document could be adapted to accomplish the latter for the right knife-maker.
