August 24th has been designated as National Knife Day since 2011 or so. Its origin <\/a><\/strong>is attributed to Knife Rights<\/a><\/strong> but founder Doug Ritter says he didn’t start it but was happy to support it.<\/p>\n

As Knife Rights says in their email today celebrating National Knife Day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

For Knife Rights, the key is that you should be the one to determine what type of knife you own and carry, not the government. That’s why we work every day to protect and expand your rights and protections as knife owners. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

They are absolutely correct. I look at my cluttered desk and I see a number of knives. They include an old Mora 2000 sheath knife, a Bark River skeleton neck knife, a Civivi Out Yonder, a Blind Horse patch knife with beautiful striped maple grips, a Kershaw Launch 8 automatic knife, and my newest, a CJRB Gobi flipper with natural green G10 grips. Of course, I have many (many!) more knives scattered here, there, and everywhere. Most are production knives with only a few customs in the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n

This last knife, the CJRB Gobi, caught my eye from a YouTube video. I think it might have been by Melissa Backwoods but I’m not sure. I like the way it fits in my hand. The pocket clip on it got bent out of shape and CJRB sent me a replacement almost immediately at no cost. I like that they are standing behind their knives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In honor of National Knife Day, post a picture of either your favorite EDC knife or the last knife you bought in the comments. I’d love to see them. You also might consider a donation to Knife Rights<\/a><\/strong> as they opened the second front in the battle for the Second Amendment. They are doing their best to get rid of antiquated knife laws around the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
