Not this year, but in the past I have purchased two Boker Mermaids as gifts. Two ladies in my life now carry a purse knife on the regular. Thank you BHQ and Boker.

Stoked to see the M4 940 made it to the list! I've collected knives for many years, always wanted a 940 because my last name is Osborne - but I was always chasing another grail, lol Luckily my wife snagged me one for Christmas during the October release! Now I carry it as much as I carry my XM18 - however, being a little boujee, my 940 got the frag titanium scale/clip treatment! Courtesy of MetonBoss! Thanks for another great year guys! This year is going to be just as great!

@nathaniela4499 Жыл бұрын

I'm slowly building out my collection, finally getting to some grail knives. My daily was the Kalashnikov, since getting that exclusive 940 though, it has become my daily. Love the exclusive jade handles. Definitely worth it.

I have gone a bit ham this year with my knife purchases. I had a lot of knives as a teen\young adult, I was in scouts and camped a lot. Over time I lost all of the knives I owned except for an original Gerber multi-tool, a single blade victornox army knife, and some Chinese knock off S.A.K. I've bought a Manic 2, a Para 3, a BK16 fixed blade, a Esee Izula, and a couple of Civivi knives. Today I just installed a set of AWT aluminum scales and an aluminum ball cage for the Manix 2, and I'm LOVING IT!!!!!

@BladeHQ Жыл бұрын

That's a great year of knives! Great call on the BK16, I think it's a fairly underrated fixed blade. To many more great knife years! -George

I have two of the bladehq 940bk-2004 and on one I swapped the regular green aluminum scales over, it is my most used knife. I've been saying ever since the release of the mini adamas, if BM ever releases a cruwear 940, it will break the internet. I'm happy with cpm-m4 though. Both are very similar it performance and they're both my favorite.

@RamoneMisfitYT Жыл бұрын

Two of my purchases this year contributed to the numbers! The PM2 & CRKT Vox (fun little beater/loaner knife). I also purchased my dream knife through blade hq being the Spyderco Shaman and I strongly believe it would be on this table if it wasn't so expensive, the steep price tag must be a deterrent for a lot of people.

@Painterrap Жыл бұрын

Your are absolutely correct!! The Spyderco Shaman, in my opinion, is a culmination of all the best attributes from Spyderco’s lineup smashed into the ultimate knife. Much like you, over the past few years I have transitioned out of the "budget" knife realm into the slightly more "high end" realm! During the process I have acquired a few knives that have been on my wish list for some time. I have picked up a Spyderco Para 3( Blacked out S45VN), Benchmade 940(Standard Green anodized with S30V), Spyderco Shaman( Blacked out S30V) and most recently I just picked up a Spyderco Para 2 ( Black DLC Murdered Out with CPM-CruWear) and I almost forgot I also picked up a Benchmade Griptillian, the Griptillian was a knifeCenter exclusive and it came with red FRN scales and a CPM- 20CV blade that’s blacked out. I took my Griptillian and put some Applied Weapons Tech scales on it and a killer cool skull bead lanyard and it’s an awesome knife. But your right a lot of the really awesome USA manufactured knives that are available are quite expensive and that’s absolutely a factor in their sales!!

Full serrated Shaman is one of my favs. Blade is too heavy with g10 handles imo so I upgraded one to brass for a good balance.

I was amazed by that steel but what happened to them? Only see the cheaper stuff in the Kalashnikovs now. D2, etc. Wish Boker would bring back the CTS-XHP, and I got mine marked down from like $130 to $70 I think it was. But only in the OD Green color. Amazing knives and you better hold on to it when you launch that blade, Boker ain't foolin' around with them springs. Stout!
