Buck Knives Continues Traditions

POST FALLS, ID— While many American families continue various honored traditions, Post Falls, Idaho-based Buck Knives continues many traditions as well, including the manufacturing of various traditional—or classic—pocket knives. In yesteryear, these knives were carried by nearly everyone and were used to cut hay bale twine, punch holes in bridal leather—and possibly for whittling–and other routine chores.

Most of those classic knives were two- or three-blade models that could be easily slipped into a pants pocket and pulled out when chores or items needed cutting or trimming. With names like Stockman, Cadet, Deuce Trapper, Toothpick and Canoe, you know these knives were also carried far and wide by outdoorsmen.

To get a better look of these time-tested classics, visit www.buckknives.com and look at the provided details of the three-blade Model 301 Stockman or the Model 303 Cadet. The Cadet has three blades, including: a 2 ½-inch clip blade; a 1 ¾-inch sheepsfoot; and a nearly 2-inch long spey-style blade. These traditional pocket knives are around three inches long when closed and are available with a black Valox or rosewood handle. Some of these traditional pocket knives have single blades, like the Model 379 Solo and the Model 385 Toothpick knives. If you slip one of these traditional knives into your pocket, you will be joining a growing number of knife carriers and users who find that size meets function in these gentlemen’s pocket knives.

The knives are arranged in categories by interests, such as legacy, hunting, every day carry and outdoor uses. The Buck Knives’ website is also the top place to learn about laser engraving options to create a unique knife plus details on the many Custom Knife Shop options. Buck Knives also offers a wide selection of kitchen cutlery.

CBD Threatens Lawsuit on Wolves

On Wednesday, the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) sent a notice of intent to sue to the U.S. Forest Service for alleged violations of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) due to the hunting of gray wolves in Wyoming’s Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. This National Forest straddles the border with Colorado.

This is yet another salvo of the dozens from CBD where the animal extremist organization is seeking restrictions on federal public land to end all hunting, everywhere, of all species. Under the guise of ESA protections for wolves, the CBD has grown in recent years to become a “sue-and-settle” juggernaut that has aggressively pushed its agenda across the landscape.

CBD argues that the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) has failed to consult with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on management of wolves, which they allege is required under the ESA. In this case, CBD claims that because wolves are protected in Colorado but migrate across the border to Wyoming, such wolves must be protected at all times, including when they’ve reached an area where wolves are delisted.

In short, argues CBD, a wolf that is protected in Colorado must be protected everywhere that wolf might travel. Because wolves are a highly migratory species at the individual level, this is a convenient argument for the anti-hunting group to make in its crusade to destroy America’s hunting heritage and effective wildlife management under the North American Model.

“This is another example where CBD and others will claim that wolf recovery in a given state or area is irrelevant so long as there is a population of wolves listed as threatened or endangered somewhere else,” said Todd Adkins, vice president of government affairs at the Sportsmen’s Alliance. “Their goal is to cancel hunters and hunting everywhere, so this bizarre legal argument they continue to peddle is extremely dangerous and goes well beyond wolves and wolf hunting.” Read more
