Knife Rights:
Knife Rights was organized in 2006 to ensure a Sharper Future
for owners of one of mankind’s oldest and most commonly used tools. The two pillars upon which Knife Rights stands are “Essential Tools – Essential Rights.” We cannot retain the former without the latter. While our knives are primarily tools, and used as such the vast majority of the time, ultimately our right to own and carry these tools is enshrined in the Second Amendment for those rare times when they must be used in self-defense. The fight to protect our knives is the Second Front in Defense of the Second Amendment. Knife Rights is engaged in promoting legislation that eliminates irrational restrictions on knife possession and opposing anti-knife legislation, as well as the legal defense of knife owner civil rights.
