Buck Knives Offers Bird Hunting Tips

Buck Knives, Inc., a widely recognized global leader in the hunting, outdoor, and everyday carry (EDC) knife markets, offers up these tips to mourning dove and upland hunters across America:

*Scout early and often: When hunting doves, remember that as weather changes and food sources diminish, the birds change flight and feeding patterns. Scouting for flocks of doves roosting in trees without leaves will tell you where they are gathering, and observing will often reveal where those birds are going for food or water. Quality binoculars aid in this effort. Remember also that dove hunting seasons are open beyond the opening day or weekend.

* Pause often: When hunting upland species like ruffed and spruce grouse, walk slowly and pause often. During midday periods, these grouse often rest in trees and often times the birds will sit motionless and watch as you walk past. Pausing can cause the birds to panic and take flight—and reveal their presence. When you pause, be ready for action. Always remember to load your shotgun!

*Choose the right knife for your after-success chores. Read more

Federal Court Rules Hawaii’s Butterfly Knife Ban Unconstitutional

Gilbert, Arizona: A panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that Hawaii’s ban on butterfly knives violates the Second Amendment. Knife Rights filed an important amicus (friend of the court) brief in support of the appellants in the case of Teter v. Lopez.

In its decision, the Court reversed the district court’s judgment in favor of Hawaii and remanded the case back to the district court “for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.” The Court also denied the appellees’ request to remand the case for further factual or historical development in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, determining that only “legislative facts” were relevant and further development of the facts was unnecessary since the case presented only a legal question. Click to read the full opinion.

Knife Rights Accepts Philadelphia Offer of Judgement

Gilbert, Arizona: In 2014 Knife Rights published a list of the Ten Worst Anti-Knife Cities in America. At that time, New York City was number one, but Knife Rights fixed New York City’s “gravity knife arrests” problem in 2019, moving Philadelphia up to the number one Worst Anti-Knife City spot. Now Knife Rights has accepted Philadelphia’s offer of judgment in Knife Rights, Inc. v. Outlaw, our federal lawsuit that sought to declare unconstitutional and enjoin Philadelphia’s laws that ban the possession and carry of any bladed arms (knives) in public. The City also agreed to pay $10,000 to cover Knife Rights’ legal expenses.

Knife Rights Chairman, Doug Ritter said, “we are excited that after the Supreme Court precedent in Bruen, Philadelphia has recognized that its ban on carry and use of knives in public could not pass constitutional muster. As the premier advocacy organization for the right to possess and carry knives, Knife Rights looks forward to striking down all unconstitutional knife bans throughout the United States.”

Bottom line is that with the court’s order in this case it is no longer illegal to possess or carry a knife in public in Philadelphia. That includes an automatic knife that is carried openly and not concealed — which also due to Knife Right’s efforts — became legal in Pennsylvania on January 2nd this year. Note that you still cannot carry any knife that that is still illegal in the state, including daggers and similar knives. Read more

Buck Knives: Sharpness Equals Cutlery Success

POST FALLS, ID— Buck Knives, Inc., a global leader in the outdoor, sporting, and everyday carry (EDC) knife markets, checks each knife it manufactures for a sharp blade edge before it leaves the factory. The company wants knife owners to be safe—and successful—when using a knife and offers a wide range of tips, products and services to assist with keeping a knife’s blade sharp.

The first resource for sharpening a knife is the Buck Knives website and detailed information on how to sharpen a knife: How to Sharpen Your Knife – Buck® Knives OFFICIAL SITE (buckknives.com). The website offers guidelines for selecting and using the right sharpener—and hint: not a power grinder that will invalidate the company’s Forever Warranty—is the first important step. Sharpening is a two-step process: grinding and honing.

Next, Buck Knives suggests using a coarse grit sharpener if the knife’s blade is nicked or very dull. This process returns the blade’s edge from a dull U- to sharper V-shape. Angle of the blade to the sharpening stone’s surface is also important with 13- to 16-degrees being the best. Additional steps in the sharpening process include using a medium to fine grit sharpening surface and inspecting the blade’s edge honing results as you progress. As a rule, the number of sharpening strokes applied to one side of the blade should also be applied to the opposite side of the blade to stay consistent.

To further aid with knife sharpening, Buck Knives offers nearly a dozen sharpeners including the EdgeTek Dual Flat Pocket Stone Knife Sharpener with coarse and medium grit surfaces along with several FlipStik and Steel knife sharpeners. For knife owners on-the-go, there is a Diamond Pocket Knife Sharpener available. For those knife users who are very serious about sharp blades, there are two Bench Stone Knife Sharpeners offered and each comes with a lid for safe transportation and storage. Read more
