BREAKING – Sevierville, TN – Late last night, we got our hands on some insider info about Smoky Mountain Knife Works National Knife Day celebration. Our source at SMKW says, “We blew it out last year, and it’s going to be bigger and better this year. You don’t want to miss it.”
It looks like they’re going all out again this year, and frankly, we think they’ve topped last year’s event hands down. Here’s the quick and dirty about what you can expect from SMKW on Thursday, August 24, 2017.
First and foremost, you’ll need to follow SMKW’s Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts. According to the information we received, that’s where all specials and giveaways will be announced throughout the day. If you’re not following SMKW on social media, you will not be alerted to the hourly flash sales and giveaways throughout the day.

National Knife Day officially kicks off for Smoky Mountain Knife Works on Thursday at 8am when they release the first of their hourly Flash Sales for the day.

These sales include products from Buck, Kershaw, Benchmade, SOG, TOPS, Victorinox, Gerber, CRKT, ESEE, and Reate. And, SMKW will expand it’s standard daily Flash Sales to 16 items for the entire day.
