Cold Steel Steps Up to Host “Carry With Confidence” Knife Giveaway

July 11, 2023

Cold Steel Knives, a long-time supporter of the American Knife and Tools Institute (AKTI), is hosting a knife giveaway in July to help reinforce AKTI’s mission of educating and informing the public about the value of carrying knives.

This year, AKTI celebrates 25 years as the unifying, cohesive voice of the knife industry and the leading advocate for the knife community. Industry members like Cold Steel are hosting giveaways throughout the year, helping spread AKTI’s message.

A nonprofit, AKTI provides valuable information to knife owners to carry and use their knives and edged tools confidently by providing accurate laws and other valuable information. The organization advocates for responsibly removing or clarifying knife laws across that county so individuals can legally use and enjoy the tool they choose for the task at hand.

The Cold Steel giveaway is free to enter and is being held from July 7-23. One winner will be chosen for a grand prize package that includes a folding Cold Steel Engage and a fixed-blade Magnum Tanto. The prize package is valued at more than $500. Click HERE to enter.

“We’re lucky to have industry partners like Cold Steel who see a value in amplifying our message,” said Jan Billeb, Executive Director of AKTI. “This allows us to enhance our efforts of keeping Americans aware of the latest laws concerning knife ownership.”

Similar giveaways are planned for later this year, as is the annual Free to Carry auction that features a mix of production and custom knives.
