Be a Grassroots Supporter!

Stay Informed.  Sign up for AKTI emailed newsletters.

Help continue AKTI’s amazing success story removing knife restrictions, educating about knife laws, promoting knives as valuable tools.

As an AKTI Grassroots Supporter, you will receive…

  • Regular email updates on knife issues across the country (approximately one per month).
  • Requests, when needed, asking you to communicate with lawmakers on issues important to knife owners in your state and at the federal level. Details will be provided of who to contact, what to say, and when to do it.
  • Emails that are clearly marked from AKTI. Action alerts will be clearly marked. Be sure to add akti@akti.org to your address book so emails do not go in your spam folder.

We will NOT:

  • bombard you with emails,
  • nag you for contributions, or
  • share your email address.

You will help ensure that you will always be able to buy, sell, own, carry and use your knives and edged tools! While there is no Grassroots Supporter membership fee, your contributions to AKTI’s legislative fund are always appreciated.
