AKTI's mission as a non-profit organization is "Keeping Knives in American Lives!"  Since 1997
we've been doing just that for every knife owner, user, retailer, distributor, and maker.  Knives were
one of man's original tools. Something as useful and handy as a knife is an important part of
everyday life and a large part of our independent heritage.
AKTI's four goals are to:
1,        Provide a unified voice representing the knife-making and knife-using community.
2.        Promote the public awareness of the history and utility of knives as tools.
3.        Encourage sensible knife legislation and responsible law enforcement.
4.        Educate young people about proper knife safety and the responsible use of knives.
