There is certainly a reason why Lori was the shark involved in HALF of the top 8 most successful businesses to come out of Shark Tank.

[@mrjasoncole1]

Annual revenue of 2 million a year later is 1/2 million dollars less than the valuation they were offered. Logistic prices have skyrocketed which explains the reprice of $14.95 vs $10 / knife. Too bad it didn’t go through, it was an excellent offer. It’ll be interesting to see how this company scales going forward; and if they’re able to turn $2 million into 10-20 million.

This was an episode worth watching.

As of 2020, the company mentioned on their Amazon store page that they have already sharpened “over half a million knives”. With a price tag of $69.00 for the sharpening service of 5 knives, it can be deduced that Knife Aid’s total sales have already reached at least $6.9 million! That’s definitely a huge leap from the $120,000 sales just before their Shark Tank appearance.
