Leupold and Stevens, Inc., provider of the world's most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce that it has joined Montana Knife Company (MKC) to donate $33,706.49 to Folds of Honor. The donation represents twenty percent of the sales of the limited-edition MKC x Leupold Super Cub Drop Point Hunter, released this summer.
Folds of Honor provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America's fallen and wounded service members and first responders. The knife sold out within minutes.
"Leupold is an American brand, built by American workers, and we stand with the soldiers who defend this country and the families who support them," said Bruce Pettet, President and Chief Executive Officer of Leupold & Stevens, Inc. "Folds of Honor makes sure the families of fallen and wounded soldiers have the education they've earned. We're proud to back that work with Montana Knife Company and every customer who bought a Super Cub."
"We build knives for people who do the hard work and don't quit," said Josh Smith, Founder of Montana Knife Company. "The families Folds of Honor serves have given more than most of us ever will. Partnering with Leupold on the Super Cub let us put a great blade in our customers' hands and send real support to those families."
Leupold and Montana Knife Company share a commitment to America's veterans. Both companies employ veterans in their factories, and both stand behind the soldiers who served and the families who served with them. This donation is one more way to put that commitment to work.
The Super Cub has been an MKC staple since the company's start. The collaboration edition adds two features not previously offered on an MKC blade: aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum handle liners and aluminum fastener collars. Both were anodized in Leupold Gold at Leupold's Oregon factory, then sent to Montana for final assembly at MKC. The Leupold crosshair logo is lasered on the blade.
The knife measures 10 inches overall, with a 5.5-inch drop point blade of PVD-coated MagnaCut stainless steel and composite handle scales. It ships in a black leather sheath with gold stitching, handmade by Teton Leather Company.
Since 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded 73,000 educational scholarships. Ninety-one percent of its annual expenses support its scholarship program.
