I was directed to contact Buck regarding their "Missionary Program." I am friends with 7 couples who are going to Mozambique in the winter. I was speaking with one of them last night at a meeting after church about getting with them and suggesting some knife/tool purchases/acquisition before they tarvelled into the "rural" areas of Mozambique. I thought I would ask my fellow forumites about their suggestions regarding a fixed blade, folder and tool for them to take. I was going to try to find out what would be suggested as far as size and steel and someone mentioned that I contact Buck about their program of helping missionaries going into the field.

These couples are committing 10 years of their lives (and family's lives) to do God's work...and I thought the least I could do (besides pray and send money :) ) was to help them out with the knife side of things. I am a "knife-knut" so I thought I would do some homework...

Can anyone at Buck help me out on what this program is, what the costs are, what products are available and what I need to do to get enrolled in this program so I could suprise these people with some great tools to use while serving?

Thank you for any info you can pass onto me.

Well, this post sat here for several days with only one response. David, as far as I know, what you want to do is start at the top. I'm going to call Chuck for you and see where we stand on this program. I know that the "missionary knives" were all gone many years ago. I am the guy that God used to launch this whole idea many years ago. CJ and Joe are believers, but this is a deal that is outside of their experience. Please note that Chuck is NOT computer literate, and has no desire to become so. You might do well to make a note of my email and we can correspond directly on this: vtaylor@orland.net I left the high tech, high pressure world of being a Buck rep (after 30 years of it) and I now pastor a little country church.
 
David,
Please send me an email and I can give you all the details. We do still have a missionary program and I can help you out with this. Wow Vern, I did not know you had a hand in starting this program, thats great!
