AKTI is removing automatic restrictions state by state and working to enact federal law to protect the rights of knife owners who travel between different states and jurisdictions.  Our goal is also to repeal the FSA which is a ban on the commerce of valuable tools between states.  We diligently and responsibly work to eliminate restrictions that hamper the ability of the knife community to do business or knife owners to chose the best tool for the task at hand.

Knives from renowned custom makers including Tony Bose, Russ Kommer, Steve Jernigan, Tom Veff, Lucas Burnley, Brian Tighe, Ken Onion, D’Holder, Ed Van Hoy, Tony Marfione, Ken Steigerwalt, Alan Folts, Jesper Voxnaes, T.W. Downing, Robert Carter and Brad Zinker will be on live auction at the American Knife & Tool Institute’s (AKTI) fundraiser on Friday evening, June 2nd in Atlanta, Georgia.

The American Knife & Tool Institute (AKTI) today applauded the House Judicary Committee’s passage of Michigan Senate Bill 245, a bill to ensure better laws and protections for law abiding citizens carrying an automatic knife.
