Co-op's long-standing support of 4-H and FFA continues with the 2011 edition of our highly successful commemorative knife program, which was first introduced in 2001.  Demand continues to be strong for the knives, and this year should prove no exception.

    Sponsored in cooperation with W.R. Case and Sons Cutlery, this year's commemorative Case knife is a popular two-blade red bone peach seed jig handle trapper that was formerly known as the "farmers knife." It features the Co-op and Case logos printed on one blade and the banner "Support 4-H and FFA" on the other. Like last year, the date (2011) will be scrolled on the bolster. The knife packaging will feature the 40th anniversary of Livestock Expo.

    The knife will be promoted with a retail price of $49.99. In 2011, $10 per knife will be donated to 4-H and FFA, split equally between the two organizations.
