Welcome to CKC's online store,

CKC is a family owned and operated business that specializes in the sales of unique knives and personal self defense products.  We carry a variety of  quality made inexpensive knives including  the ever popular fast opening spring assisted openers.

In today's knife market,  80% of all pocket knives now sold in the U.S. are the SPRING ASSISTED OPENERS. Spring assisted knives fall outside the federal definition of a switchblade or automatic knife and are LEGAL to ship to and possess in all 50 States & Canada for those 18 years of age and older. The spring loaded blade opens quickly with the flick of the finger on the blade stud, not with a button on the handle, making these knives a great LEGAL automatic alternative. 

Each year we review hundreds of knives and only select knife models to sell that we can provide at a great price and have met or exceeded our high standards for quality and reliability. Prior to shipping, each knife is inspected, tested and lubricated to ensure our customers receive a quality knife in excellent working order upon arrival.

Assisted openers are great knives for work, play or self defense and unless otherwise stated, all our knives come with a 90 day warranty to be free of defects. Spring assisted opening knives also provide a great benefit to those with disabilities and arthritis suffers, since only one hand is needed for opening. 

What Makes Us Different?

CKC is not just another knife company. We care more about building long lasting relationships with our customers, verses making a quick buck. Our long term mission for CKC is to become a leading trusted name among knife dealers and quality self defense products. Our customers have our continued promise that we will only select and offer for sale quality merchandise at the lowest possible price.

We at CKC firmly believe in reinvesting and giving back to our community. Thanks to the support from our valued customers has made it possible for us to be able to donate time and other resources to various causes that are in need throughout our community. Our staff can be found proudly serving at local food banks, mentoring at risk youth and doing mission work that help make a positive difference in other people's lives.  We want to express our sincere thanks to each and every customer who have helped make 2009 an awesome year of paricipation in giving back.

KNIFE NEWS

October 28, 2009 The President has signed the Homeland Security

Appropriations Bill (H.R. 2892) for FY 2010 that includes a permanent “fix”

so that any folding knife with a bias toward closure cannot be declared a

switchblade by U.S. Customs.

However, knife owners should realize that they are still bound by the knife

laws of their state. And if you travel to another state, you are bound by that

state's laws.

The significance of the legislative victory that was led by AKTI and

supported by several other organizations cannot be overstated. If U.S.

Customs had succeeded in broadly redefining a switchblade, as they

proposed in late May 2009, domestic manufacturers and all owners of

folding knives would have been in jeopardy. That’s because an import

restriction becomes an issue for interstate commerce. And where local law

enforcement might be uncertain about how to correctly apply their state

law, they often turn to U.S. Customs to provide guidance.

October 20, 2009

You can keep and use your folding knives permitted in your state! With today’s vote in the U.S. Senate

(and the President’s expected signature of H.R. 2892), the American Knife & Tool Institute has

accomplished the seemingly impossible. Thanks to the help of many AKTI members, supporters,

lawmakers and supporting organizations, we have turned the proposed U. S. Custom's proposed re-

definition of switchblades into an effective and sweeping clarification of the Federal Switchblade Act of

1958.

As of today (October 20, 2009), the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill, with Senate Amendment

1447 language still intact, has passed both the Senate and the House. This bi-partisan amendment

was co-sponsored by 20 U.S. Senators, led by John Cornyn of Texas, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Ron

Wyden of Oregon and Orrin Hatch of Utah.

The Senate amendment essentially adopted the switchblade exception language which AKTI

sponsored in Texas and that was signed by Texas Governor Perry on June 18, 2009. U.S. Customs,

thanks to an outpouring of grassroots support and the intervention of more than 20 U.S. Senators

concerned about the potential financial devastation to the entire sporting knife industry, became active

supporters of the amendment.

AKTI thanks the following co-sponsors for the bi-partisan statesmanship that clearly saved all folding

knives which we estimate are 80 percent of current sales in the nearly $1 billion sporting knife industry.

John Cornyn (R-TX) Mark Pryor (D-AR)

Orrin Hatch (R-UT) Ron Wyden (D-OR)

John Barrasso (R-WY) Robert Bennett (R-UT)

Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) Susan Collins (R-ME)

Bob Corker (R-TN) Mike Crapo (R-ID)

Michael Enzi (R-WY) Lindsey Graham (R-SC)

James Inhofe (R-OK) Jeff Merkley (D-OR)

Ben Nelson (D-NE) Jim Risch (R-ID)

Pat Roberts (R-KS) Jon Tester (D-MT)

John Thune (R-SD) David Vitter (R-LA)

Prior to the Senate adopting the amendment, U.S. Customs also participated in negotiations on

language, which they then supported. AKTI thanks both the Department of Homeland Security and U.S.

Customs for their ultimate support.

House support has been strong and broad-based during this effort, going back to more than 80

members of the bi-partisan Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus sending a letter for the industry

position to Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.

Representative Robert Latta (R-OH) and Walt Minnick (D-ID) were staunch, active supporters of the

sporting knife industry throughout the entire process in the Senate and the House.

Finally, as H.R. 2892 came back to the House for work in conference, AKTI wants to recognize the

support given by various House committee chairs and their staffers.

David Obey (D-WI) - Chair House Appropriations

David Price (D-NC) - Chair House Appropriations (Homeland Security Subcommittee)

Henry Waxman (D-CA) - Chair House Energy and Commerce Committee

Bobby Rush (D-IL) - Chair House Energy and Commerce Committee (Commerce, Trade and

Consumer Protection Subcommittee)

Charles Rangel (D-NY) - Chair House Ways & Means Committee

Sander Levin (D-MI) - Chair House Ways & Means Committee (Trade Subcommittee)

As provided in Amendment 1447, U.S. Customs agreed to add a fifth clause to section 1244 of the

Federal Switchblade Act that exempts "a knife that contains a spring, detent, or other mechanism

designed to create a bias toward closure of the blade and that requires exertion applied to the blade by

hand, wrist or arm to overcome the bias toward closure to assist in opening the knife."

AKTI expects that the President will sign this bill.

Thank you to all those lawmakers, AKTI members, AKTI Grassroots Supporters, the NRA, the

Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, and Knife Rights for their support of a campaign that began

with an AKTI call to action at the Blade Show on May 29.
