Astute readers of NRA Family have no doubt noticed that this publication is just one of many titles in the "NRA Family"! Shooting Illustrated, as NRA's practical, tactical, defense-oriented magazine, is something of a "big brother" to NRA Family, and we've just learned that Big Bro received a well-deserved award.
Buck Knives announces that the National Rifle Association's Shooting Illustrated's Executive Editor, Jay Grazio, has been tapped as the "Knife Writer of the Year." Along with serving as the Executive Editor of the insightful NRA publication, Grazio also is a host on the popular "I Carry" weekly video series. He covers a wide range of products and issues in the Every Day Carry (EDC) market, including: knives, handguns, optics, flashlights and other gear. His informative product insights guide readers in what to carry and how to use selected gear.
“For the past 11-plus years, Jay Grazio has been an extremely valued member of the Shooting Illustrated team,” notes Ed Friedman, Editor-in-Chief of Shooting Illustrated. “His contributions toward making Shooting Illustrated, ShootingIllustrated.com--and our associated social media properties-- the world's most trusted, followed and widely-read resources for information about armed self-defense, are far too many to list. Grazio's interest and expertise in all-things concealed-carry related extends to knives, where he is our encyclopedia—any time any Shooting Illustrated staffer has a knife question, we ask Jay. There is no one more deserving of this award than Jay Grazio.” The Knife Writer of the Year award was presented during the recent Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas.
“Jay’s commitment to delivering informative and engaging content, backed by expert insight and trusted analysis, is what today’s reader values most,” states CJ Buck, Buck Knives CEO. “Buck Knives is proud to be featured by Jay in many of his 'I Carry' articles, and we are proud to honor Jay with this award for his contributions to the industry and the readers of Shooting Illustrated.” The award included a special engraved Buck knife in a display case.
