My NRA knife showed up today.

Hillbilly77 · Dec 30, 2013

Some of you might remember, a while back I posted a link to a deal where you could get a free Buck knife for donating to the NRA-ILA.

The fundraiser was such a success that there was a delay in getting the knives shipped.

Well, I got mine today, and I AM IMPRESSED!
I was expecting a smallish knife to show up, but when I opened the package, much to my surprise a nice, medium-sized knife was enclosed.

Best part....
Made in the USA and has Buck's Lifetime Warranty.

Nice Knife Hilbilly77

The fact that your knife is "Made In The USA" makes me feel very proud, I had asked them to "Keep" all the Nice "Made In China" gifts they were sending to my address. I'm very sure that I have no responsibility but others must have also complained for the NRA to change their ways. Do hope they have changed their ways.

Buck moved to China several years ago and due to so many complaints they opened a facility back in the good old USA. I think they still have a line of China knives.

Nice knife.

The local Academy Sports store has a good selection of Buck Knives, not all but probably 50-60% of them MADE IN USA. I have bought a few just for the heck of it and found them well made and surprisingly well priced. Give em a try.

I hoped that my back ordered NRA-ILA knife was in the mail today. But, sadly it was not. Maybe tomorrow.

I'm hoping I'll get a knife but not sure. I joined 5 days before I received something in the mail about membership and the knife. There was a survey included. I mailed the survey back and a note telling them that I'd joined 5 days prior and asked if I qualified for the knife. Hoping.

Mine came today too...and I was also pretty impressed!

That's a lot of USA-made knife for a $24.00 donation!

Nice knife.

I don't think they ever moved to China - they moved from California to Post Falls, Idaho a few years back. Buck, like Gerber, has a low-end line of knives made in China but their better, higher-priced knives are still made in the USA. Gerber knives are (or were) marked "Gerber USA" if they were made in the US and just "Gerber" if they were made elsewhere. I'm not sure if Buck knives are marked differently for the various country of origin but I believe their website will tell you where each knife is made.

I am impressed that people still use a pocket rule. And a real one at that!

NRA renewal with the exception of a hat I received, usually do not get any of the promised gifts, but I don't complain with my support is what is important to me.

I'm still waiting for my giant bag-o-guns I'm going to win

I wish they'd hurry up and draw!

February now and still no knife for me. Looks like it could have been a nice one, too.

Sure no shortage of additional donation requests, though.

Sorry to hear that your knife hasn't showed up yet.
Have you tried contacting them and asking them what gives?

You can opt out of the donation solicitations if you ask them to remove your name from their list.

timn8er · Feb 3, 2014

How can you win it if I'm supposed to win it?!

JonathanMurray · Feb 3, 2014

And oddly enough... I just (finally) received an actual response from my inquiry...

Thank you for contacting the NRA-ILA. We appreciate your patience regarding your Buck knife order. Unfortunately, it has taken longer than expected for Buck to fulfill the backorder. You can rest assured though that we are sending out the backordered knifes as quickly as possible and you should receive you knife in the near future. Again, we apologize for the delay. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions. We appreciate your support.
