URGENT NEWS – U.S. Customs Proposal would characterize
assisted-openers as switchblade knives.  Our fear is this
could potentially  jeopardize all pocket knives.  

EVEN MORE URGENT NEWS – AKTI has learned that U.S.
Customs, at 5:00 p.m. eastern time on June 10, 2009, has
denied AKTI’s request for a comment period extension.On behalf of the entire sporting knife industry and all knife
owners across the country, AKTI has hired a specialized U.S.
Customs and Trade law firm to draft a response in defense of
our knives. But that may not be enough.

TAKE ACTION TODAY. Now you must absolutely help us get
this information to our State Senators and Congressmen.
Click on the following link to find out who they are in your
state. We have also created model letters for individuals and
companies to email. 

Second Action Step. You can still write letters to U.S.
Customs to object to their proposal. But it must get to them
(via snailmail) by June 21, 2009 (but that’s a Sunday so get it
there by Saturday, June 20 or sooner).
