BLADE Magazine

June 5, 2010, Gilbert, AZ: Knife Rights is pleased to announce that Evan Nappen is the inaugural recipient of its Freedom’s Point™ Award which was presented to Evan at the Sharper Future™ Awards Breakfast on June 5th during BLADE Show in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Freedom’s Point™ Award is to be given annually to honor a individual citizen who has demonstrated their commitment to a Sharper Future™ by leadership in the fight to protect or enhance our knife rights.

Knife Rights Chairman Doug Ritter said, “Evan Nappen is being recognized for two significant contributions during the past year. Last summer, when U.S. Customs was attempting to redefine what a switchblade was in a manner that would have adversely impacted 80% of the knives sold in the U.S. today, Evan volunteered to develop Knife Rights’ official response to U.S. Customs. He put together an excellent legal brief clearly exposing the fallacies and inconsistencies of Customs’ position in a matter of a few short days.” That effort eventually resulted in Congress passing an amendment to the Federal Switchblade Act exempting assisted opening and one-hand opening knives.”

Doug continued, “Every legislative initiative requires someone local to lead the charge. In New Hampshire, it was Evan who worked long hours to rally support for the Knife Rights bill introduced by Representative Jenn Coffey. It was Evan who spearheaded the fundraising effort. It was Evan who organized the testimony in front of the committees. We would not have been so successful in New Hampshire if it weren’t for the leadership and hard work of Evan Nappen.”

The Knife Rights Bill passed in New Hampshire legalizes switchblades, dirks, daggers and stilettos.

POST FALLS, IDAHO– When you’re looking for that new knife you want, you try to find one that will provide the quality and reliability you need, at a reasonable price. If you can find that, plus an added item you can use, you’ll know you’ve found the deal you’re after.

That’s exactly what Buck Knives is offering with their new series of Combo Packs. If you’re a hunter looking for a good, affordable knife you may well be after Buck’s Omni Hunter 12 PT, with a 4” fixed-blade that has an inset gutting-skinning blade at a very appealing $58 suggested retail. You’re also after a good caping knife and are attracted by Buck’s new skeletal PakLite Caper, which has an surprisingly low $25 MSRP. You want both, but you aren’t sure if you’re ready to spend that $83 total.

Then, hanging there is the Buck Combo Pack, combining those very knives, with an MSRP of $71 –$12 less than buying them separately. That’s too good to pass up!

There are other Combo Packs, too. For your next fishing trip, Buck has combined their popular Silver Creek Fillet Knife and its perfect-flex 6-3/8” blade, with a Parallex lockblade knife and a versatile Fishing Clipper. The Clipper not only cuts monofilament line, it has a fold-out sharpening file, an eyelet cleaning needle/knot tool, and a hook bender. The fillet knife alone has an MSRP of $36.50. With the other two added, the retail tops $50 if bought separately. But as a Combo Pack, the suggested retail is only $40.

Buck has another hunter’s Combo Pack, too. This one combines a 390 Omni Hunter Skinner 10 PT, which has a 3-1/4” fixed-blade, with a PakLite Guthook for maximum versatility when field dressing game. They come in a special combo sheath made of heavy-duty nylon. Here again, the value is great. Bought separately, the MSRP is $69. As a combo, even with the added benefit of the special sheath, the suggested retail is only $57.

Of course, all are backed by Buck’s unlimited Forever Warranty.
