The Power of a Pocket Knife
For more than 25 years, the Tennessee Farmers Cooperative Foundation and Case Knife have partnered to support Tennessee 4-H and Tennessee FFA organizations through a limited-edition commemorative knife program.
A Partnership Rooted in Tradition
The Tennessee Farmers Cooperative Foundation is proud to continue a long-standing partnership with W.R Case & Sons Cutlery Company through the annual Co-op Commemorative 4-H & FFA Knife Program.
What began as a unique fundraising initiative has grown into one of the Foundation’s most impactful traditions of helping support scholarships, youth leadership opportunities, agricultural education, and the future of Tennessee agriculture.
For collectors, the knife represents craftsmanship and heritage. For students across Tennessee, it represents opportunity.

The Story Behind the Knife
Each year’s commemorative knife represents more than craftsmanship, it represents a shared commitment to supporting the next generation of agricultural leaders.
The partnership between Tennessee Farmers Cooperative, Jessup & Associates, and W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has helped create a tradition deeply rooted in agriculture, collectability, and community impact.
From the skilled craftsmanship inside the Bradford, Pennsylvania factory to the students impacted across Tennessee, every knife tells a story.
Built on Heritage.
Driven by Purpose.
The annual Case Foundation Knife reflects the same values that define Tennessee agriculture–craftsmanship, tradition, hard work, and community.
Every purchase helps support opportunities for students involved in Tennessee 4-H and FFA while continuing a tradition that collectors and supporters look forward to each year.
