Zac Brown, a country singer, formed Southern Grind. Zac is a real knife aficionado who started the business to fund his personal goal, Camp Southern Land. The company's goal was to create knives that were symbolic of what Zac believes a knife should be: tough, dependable, and fully capable, born of cutting-edge technology and unsurpassed quality.
Zac is much more than a talented singer with a passion for blades. He's the kind of person who makes an effort to support others. As a result, he established Southern Grind to provide a secure, healthy atmosphere for children of all abilities to develop life skills while working. Children who would otherwise be unable to obtain such an opportunity are given unique learning and social opportunities thanks to this support and other programs such as the Chris Kyle Frog Project.
