POST FALLS, ID— More and more Americans are finding reasons to own an EDC knife—and be better prepared in today’s unpredictable world. These knives are the ones that fit into a pocket along with car keys, cellphone, a small flashlight, wallet—and possibly a concealed carry firearm.

There are choices when selecting the best EDC knife. You need to determine what the knife will be most often used for, how long the blade and handle should be, your budget, and how the knife feels in your hand. Many EDC knife owners also prefer a knife with a pocket clip and textured handle that aids with grip. Additionally, some knife owners and users seek the perfect knife with thumbstuds on the blade or possibly a push-button deploy assist feature. Automatic opening knives are also available. Blade style and material, plus the shape and materials used in construction of the handle, all add to the performance of the knife. Read more

POST FALLS, ID— There are many reasons to own a knife, and if you select a quality knife, it should last a lifetime. Buck Knives offers more than 150 knives which are built by craftsmen in the company’s state-of-the-art facility in Post Falls, Idaho. The company employees who travel to trade and consumer shows frequently hear from collectors, fans and customers that their first knife was a Buck knife—and often times the iconic Buck Knives’ Model 110 Folding Hunter was that first knife. Reports are common that the customer has owned and used that knife for decades. Quality and craftsmanship in a knife ensures years of quality service.

The average Buck knife often begins with a laser-cut or die-cut blade that then passes through many processes, including the famous Bos heat treatment. Knife blades and components can also be tumbled, cerakoted, ground and pass through numerous other steps on the way to final assembly and hand sharpening. Parts can also pass through CNC machines and other heat chambers to ensure handles are a perfect fit for the blade and knife design. Numerous knives are also pulled and checked in the company’s test facility—another quality assurance step.

The knives can travel more than a mile through the 180,000 square-foot-manufacturing-facility and pass through the hands of many craftsmen. Several employees at Buck have more than four decades of knife building experience and their craftsmanship skills ensure a quality product for each and every customer.

After each knife is hand sharpened and tested, the knife undergoes a precision inspection and final cleaning before it is inspected once again and packaged for shipping. Much of these final steps are a white-glove process and all details are given close attention. These many beginning-to-end steps result in the top-quality knives the Buck Knives factory is well known for designing and manufacturing.

The Buck Knives’ website is also the top place to learn about laser engraving for a customized knife and how you can also build a true custom knife via the company’s Custom Knife Shop. Full details about Buck Knives exclusive Forever Warranty are also available on the website.

Gilbert, Arizona – September 13, 2022 – Knife Rights’ Ohio Knife Law Preemption bill signed earlier this year by Gov. DeWine takes effect today. This is the culmination of years of Knife Rights’ efforts in Ohio.

Last year that resulted in the repeal of Ohio’s ban on manufacture and sale of switchblades. That bill also cleared up the vague, confusing, and too often abused, Ohio law regarding carry of any knife by defining a knife, razor or cutting instrument as a “deadly weapon” or “weapon” ONLY if it is used as a weapon. That change also allowed concealed carry of knives in the state.

Knife Law Preemption now makes those reforms applicable statewide. Numerous cities and towns in Ohio are no longer able to ban knives that are perfectly legal under Ohio’s statutes. It is a great feeling to be able to add another “green” state with which we are now finished to our map of accomplishments. Check it out at:KnifeRights.org/about/accomplishments
