The Interstate Transport Act would create a federal protection for knife owners, allowing legal interstate travel with knives, provided the knives are transported to and from states where the law allows possession of such knives, and they are transported in locked containers.

The AKTI “State of the Sporting Knife and Tool Industry Report” provides an in-depth statistical snapshot of the industry.  Previous reports have been instrumental in the successes of the organization to clarify or remove knife laws on the state level, and moving current federal initiatives. 

Goldie Russell, President of A.G. Russell Knives, was recently honored by the American Knife & Tool Institute with the presentation of AKTI’s “Industry Integrity Award” for her dedication and contributions to the industry and to the organization.

Knife Owners will have a new federal protection while traveling under legislation advocated for by the American Knife & Tool Institute.
