Thanks RTJ!
Cody, WY (July 20, 2017) – The Board of Regents of the American Knife & Tool Institute (AKTI) recently re-elected CJ Buck, the fourth generation of his family to head Idaho-based Buck Knives, to serve an additional two-year term as president, and John Sullivan, Director of Marketing at W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company, to continue as vice president of the association.
In addition to providing leadership as a Board member, Buck has focused on AKTI’s legislative work, chairing the AKTI Legislative Committee until 2015. He was inducted into the Cutlery Hall of Fame in 2016 for his efforts on behalf of the knife industry.
“I’m very excited about AKTI’s legislative successes and the solutions we are working on to solve the issues that face knife users and the entire knife industry.” Buck said. “It is an honor to have the Board’s confidence and to continue leading two separate major federal initiatives. We are working on legislation to protect knife owners traveling from state to state and to remove the commerce restrictions on automatic knives.”
The American Knife & Tool Institute is governed by a nine member Board of Regents that include a broad cross section of the knife industry. Regular input to the Board from Advisory members also adds to the knowledge, credibility and professionalism of the organization to represent a broad spectrum of issues for the knife community.

Tragic news from our friends at Telluric Training. Rest In Peace Levi Adams.
For those who don’t know, Levi Adams, part of the Telluric family, was involved in a fatal car accident yesterday. We are all devastated by this tragic loss. Levi was a key member of the team here. More importantly, though, he was an amazing dad, a newly-married husband, a devoted son, a highly respected police officer, and genuine friend. He was a warrior, although very few people realized it because he was so gentle and warm. Despite his young age, he had tremendous character and strength- he was a rock that a lot of people depended on. He will be sorely missed.
Please join us in praying for his family.
