The American Knife and Tool Institute has launched a revised version of its popular website, http://www.AKTI.org, with improved features for members and accurate information about the laws that impact knife businesses and knife owners in every state.
"Making state knife laws available online to our members and easily accessible has been a priority for AKTI in the last year," explained AKTI Executive Director Jan Billeb. "Ensuring that the information is complete and legally accurate has been our primary goal."
Members of the organization are able to see knife law information for any state, while non-members can see quick legal facts about each state. The information was compiled and written by AKTI's legislative consultant, Dan Lawson, a lawyer who has been involved in the knife industry for more than a decade. Topics include which knives are prohibited, which knives can be sold or manufactured, critical dimensions, major cities with ordinances and more.
The website also features news and action alerts; education on knife use for kids, the general public and law enforcement officers; popular resources like AKTI's approved knife definitions and guide to traveling with knives; and a monthly fundraising auction that supports the organization's ongoing legislative efforts. In addition, visitors to the site can buy or renew their memberships, give memberships as gifts and purchase AKTI merchandise online.
"Every year we see more and more people - both our members and the general public - looking for information about safe and legal knife use," Billeb said. "Our website has been redesigned to make it even easier for visitors to learn more about all facets of knife use in the U.S."
The new website is also responsive, meaning it will be easier to view for visitors on smart phones and other mobile devices. It can be accessed at http://www.AKTI.org
