TUALATIN, OREGON—Duck Commander, makers of best-selling duck calls, and Buck Commander,
makers of quality deer-hunting gear and apparel, are partnering with Kai USA ltd. on an exciting series of
new knives.
Duck Commander owners, the Robertson family, have become famous through their phenomenally popular
A&E cable television show Duck Dynasty. The show’s fourth season premier recently became the number
one nonfiction series telecast in cable TV history. The Buck Commanders have their own popular television
show on the Outdoor Channel.
Kai USA brand Kershaw Knives, Duck Commander, and Buck Commander will work together on a
selection of every day carrying knives and hunting knives, in both fixed-blade and folding styles, as well as
a selection of machetes and accessories. Kai’s Pure Komachi 2 brand will partner with Duck/Buck
Commander on a kitchen cutlery series, which will involve the “Duck wives” of Duck Dynasty.
“Kai USA, Duck Commander, and Buck Commander are all well known for the quality and innovation of
their products,” said Jack Igarashi, Kai USA Chief Operating Officer. “That makes our partnership a natural
fit and we are very proud to be the Official Knife of Duck Commander and Buck Commander.”
The first three to four knives in the series will be available by mid-year 2014. Prototypes will be shown at
the important industry trade show, the SHOT Show, in Las Vegas in January. Successive years of this
multi-year licensing agreement will feature an expanded lineup of products, from hunting knives and
kitchen cutlery to accessories and apparel.
The co-branded knives will be distributed through all Kai USA channels as well as through Duck
Commander and Buck Commander outlets. Promotional displays and sales materials will be available to
assist retailers in successfully merchandising these must-have product lines.
