Knife Rights’ Chairman Doug Ritter said, “Freedom’s Steel IX – Liberty’s Edge Double-Action Automatic Knife celebrates the liberties that Knife Rights fights to protect. For the past six decades and change switchblade (automatic) knives have been demonized by those opposed to freedom and liberty. At one time they were banned or highly restricted in nearly half the states! Today, thanks to Knife Rights’ efforts, they are legal to own, to one degree or another, in 44 states and legal to carry in 33.”

Knife Rights sincerely appreciates the generous contributions by the collaborators that allow us to make this donation.  Texas knifemaker Johnny Stout has crafted a very special version of his renowned “Vaquero” Double Action Automatic Knife for Knife Rights’ ninth Freedom’s Steel. It features elegant engraving and 24K gold inlay by Julie Warenski-Erikson. The dramatic 3.75-inch trailing point blade was ground from exquisite feather pattern Damascus steel, forged by Master Bladesmith Véronique Laurent.

Exhibition-grade, museum fit mammoth ivory grip scales, donated by Fine Turnage Productions, finish off the 4.875-inch long handle, for an overall length when open of 8.562 inches. The titanium liners have been jeweled and hand-file worked, then anodized. All the fasteners are 24K gold plated. Photography by Dirk Loots.
