I’m part of the men’s ministry in our church and we put on a steak feed with owner of Buck Knives, Chuck Buck. It was a great evening and well attended. I just wanted to share a story he shared with us.

Buck Knives is a Christian owned organization that makes world class knives for outdoorsmen. Since the ’70’s, they’ve been including, as part of their warranty card that comes with the knives, a plan of salvation. Chuck shared some customer letters he’s received over the years.

One told a story of a woman who wanted to commit suicide. She went down to the hardware store and bought a knife to kill herself. The knife happened to be a Buck knife. So, she went home, entered her bathroom and opened the knife box. The warranty card fell out with the plan of salvation. She read over it and then felt God’s peace move over her. That day she recommitted her life to the Lord.

Here’s the message they print and bundle with each knife:

If you are a new Buck knife owner, “welcome aboard.” You are now part of a very large family. Although we’re talking about a few million people, we still like to think of each one of our users as a member of the Buck Knives Family and take a personal interest in the product that was bought. With normal use, you should never have to buy another.

Now that you are family, you might like to know a little more about our organization. The fantastic growth of Buck Knives was no accident. From the beginning, management determined to make God the Senior Partner. In a crisis, the problem was turned over to Him, and He hasn’t failed to help us with the answer. Each product must reflect the integrity of management, including our Senior Partner. If sometimes we fail on our end, because we are human, we find it imperative to do our utmost to make it right. Of course, to us, besides being Senior Partner, He is our Heavenly Father also; and it’s a great blessing to us to have this security in these troubled times. If any of you are troubled or perplexed and looking for answers, may we invite you to look to Him, for God loves you.

“For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son; that whoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John: 3:16

It’s always great to see people putting their faith into action. What a great company.
