Top 10 Bestselling New Knives of 2024

[@mattg2935]

It’s amazing that three KZbin personalities that work or worked at knife distributors were in the top ten! David, Zac and Ben are knowledgeable and passionate about this community and it shows both in their work and their designs.

[@etherealicer]

How? Being part of the knife- / edc- world their knives got a ton of exposure. All won an award. It also helps that their knives are very functional, probably legal in most places and for pretty much everyone (no flamboyant colors or design, not very large, not tiny either). It also helps that 2 of them are very affordable.

[@etherealicer]

Just checked, here are the awards: Yonder: Best Buy 2024 Blade Show Sendy: Best EDC Multitool 2024 Shot Show Pocket Tango: Best Fixed Blade 2024 Blade Show

[@JepdT]

That explains their sales numbers, but hopefully not the awards received. I'd like to think design awards are earned on merit. ​@etherealicer

[@MattPasciuto]

Congrats DCA! Speaking as one of those many Pocket Tango owners, you and the folks at MKM absolutely earned that spot.

[@DampActionRC]

that pocket tango is looking nice

[@lukeysandra]

I just bought the pocket tango 2 and couldn’t be happier! It’s everything I wanted the Osbourne 940 to be. The blade is the right length, you can get your hand up close to the blade, and there are three very comfortable grips to use it with. Great design, DCA!

[@JepdT]

You would have sold at least one more pocket tango If the Olive wood nessmuth would ever be available. Congratulations

[@matthewhebbert9712]

Make that 2.

[@MR-jt2rh]

Love belair magnacut and made in USA. I need one.

[@uzimax322]

Been my EDC since I bought it. It’s a nice knife

[@glassjar7814]

Crazy to see the guys that sat side by side and made me realize the size of the knife community was beyond a couple message boards and rare YT creators, both have knives on this table. I love both of them. Just put the Yonder in my pocket last week when it came in the mail. Plan on carrying it into the new year

[@marshallshelby9946]

hi, DCA. i saw 2 of ur videos on the petrified fish hourglass, and i ordered 4 of them (snakewood scales) just last week cuz they make PERFECT folding steak knives imo! :P

[@savagewalks]

Big Congrats DCA! I have both the Nessmuk and Cleaver style blade shapes and I just love the design so very much! The sheath is something out of a dream and the knife feels so perfectly natural in the hand, truly well done!

[@kennethaucoin2272]

Tango all the way! Love it. Almost thought I lost my knife a few times because the knife sheath would be magnetized to something random.

[@jusme8060]

Yeah, stronger magnets would be sweet

[@jusme8060]

Or just a clip

[@WilliamWallis]

Picked up the Yonder in G10. Really good EDC.

[@HamidShibataBennett]

Really enjoying my lambsfoot Pocket Tango with olive wood scales. It’s in my pocket right now!

[@quentingraff1510]

The yonder is such a good EDC!!

[@ScienzaMagia]

Surprised the CJRB Pyrite Light didn't make the cut. That knife is crazy good for the price.

[@80808O]

Most people probably got it from amazon to save on shipping vs knifecenter

[@boyscout399]

Belair well deserved

[@ramonvelasquez8431]

Great selection in fact, and congrats for the Pocket Tango!

[@Monsoonpain]

Buckhorn blew me away for sure...its the details ...slanted thumbstuds, contoured scales, amazing

[@DylanLey]

Congrats on the Pocket Tango sales! Looking forward to more of your knife designs next year!

[@bill64gr]

The Karbon is a real beauty at all the details!!!!

[@scrick7112]

As a big fan of Nordsmith knives I’m so happy your designs made it to no.2 and there the only fixed blades on the table. Congrats DCA. And happy Holidays to all at Knifecenter.

[@Reap3rUSA]

On the ludt they need to change that pocket clip. It's a pocket destroyer.

[@chrisjosekuehl]

Thank you, I was so pumped to get the new gen and I can’t get it in or out of the pocket, I think I’m going to have to smooth out the area around the clip

[@Reap3rUSA]

@chrisjosekuehl I tried doing that with a hammer and i was not able, unless you have a some kind of a grip to make it flat i see no solution. What i did was i lifted the end enough to make it easier to go on and out of the pocket.

[@space.youtube]

So the Pocket Tango was the best selling fixed blade knife at KC. Congratulations on 3 fantastic knives. Edit: Best selling NEW fixed blade for 2024 at least. Nothing to sneeze at all the same. Well done.

[@ParkerBinion]

The Vosteed Raccoon Top Liner Lock doesn't count as a new design? By far the best under $75 knife on the market.

[@timothyvolkers5343]

That thunk sound that the microtech make is amazing

[@clawhammer704]

My favorite carry is a #7 Opinel.

[@focusonthefocus]

I hope to see a Shrade on the list someday. I think they have some cool designs.

[@andrewfournier8817]

Impressive that a fixed blade did so well- no others even ranked

[@mrk7806]

We need another best knife of the year! Budget, mid range and high end and then best overall! I bought the WTG nomad edc on the back of that video a few years back

[@licencepo4616]

1:17 The Civivi yonder is not in nitro V but in 14c28n wich is way better

[@The4cp]

So proud of Zac! I'm hoping for a large Yander. About 3.5 to 3.75 inches for a bigger handle. Same with the Iridiumand Bel Air. I'm fed up with mini version of already smaller knives.

[@stevenmichael7770]

"The trick in the bag hole..." Lmao! Great vid!

[@FrankTranDesign]

I would love to have the pocket tango if it the handle were juuuuuust a little longer to accommodate my pinky. Great designs DCA

[@davidglazener7921]

Congrats BIg D!! Great knife!

[@boskone]

I'd love the Sendy with a button or crossbar lock. And while I haven't yet, will probably get the Pocket Tango with a Nessmuk blade in the next year or so. I have a Makro with the Sheepsfoot, and really like it.

[@ASMR-soothingsounds]

Love the design of your knife, David. On my list to get one.

[@carmeng5867]

Man, that pocket Tango nessmuk just speaks to me. Gotta get one of those bad boys.

[@jasonbobb3994]

Thanks... loved this video.

[@coyote4936]

Does the microtech udt knife open good underwater?

[@the_swinging_axe]

The only 2024 knives i bought and kept were the Protech TR3 integrity (manual) which is super great, and the Spyderco Grasshopper in red g10, which is fun and inexpensive. I mostly purchased older American made tactical folders from Hinderer, Chris Reeve, Microtech, Spartan, and Strider.

[@jusme8060]

Yeah, tr3 is nice. Bought a black one then saw a green....damnit

[@morganclairdayii5609]

I would like to see the tango as a little larger...I love the look, but I'm not a fixed blade in the pocket...let's see it with belt carry options...scout carry for a hunting knife! Doesn't need to be much larger but still larger!

[@ondrejsvoboda1742]

Congrats DCA to make the Pocket Tango no. 2! It is on my list too, nessmuk version. Anyway, I have a question about LUDT. I have been following this knife since they released this version 3, however one thing keeps me from purchasing it -> how would it work for left handers? Is it easy to deploy with your index finger? It is quite a lot of money to buy just to try. Thanks!

[@elmadicine]

congrats on the success of your knife design DCA! the sendy is the only knife from this list I have, and I absolutely love it, but didn't it come out at the end of 2023? maybe that still counts for 2024 release though, what do I know

[@stevepetrosino1590]

Vosteed was such a tease with the new Vanchor lock Shilin Cutter. When are they really going to be available? A2806

[@stuartrollings602]

Got the Tango when it first came out! Trusted ya and verified! 💃

[@RelentlessRevolver7]

LUDT Tanto is knife of the year. I stand on that.

[@jusme8060]

A bit ugly though :)

[@MSMonkShare]

Top this year, not just new releases - please

[@rofferdal]

Love all the button and crossbar locks, but why the thumb studs…. I usually think they are in the way of utilising the full length of the blade for slicing.

[@mikecon7634]

How's the Microtech Ludt compare to the Benchmade Claymore?

[@miguelmyertinez]

🔪 just got the CS Mayhem and another Bastinelli Mako! Must stop buying 🔪s for a while.

[@emonge9104]

Hey DCA When are the Pocket Tango Exclusives going to be available again? Thanks in advance for your help and feedback 👍🏾

[@DualFury]

Congrats daddy dca!

[@Willy3Sticks]

I want Santa to make a mini Swordfish

[@matthewarmey5258]

When is the Spyderco PM 2 Salt with yellow and black scales going to be in stock?

[@lukehorning3404]

Why are they all so small? I guess I’m weird I like 4 inch or bigger for my main edc but some nice picks

[@SolidMango-gh3jk]

Can you guys get ahold of the Civivi scintilla ? Or get your own custom from them as bladeHQ has. I was thoroughly surprised by it and like it so much I’d like to buy another but can’t get them.

[@natehoover5266]

Is this in amount of pieces sold or highest dollar amount? I did just get the elementum utility knife for my brother in law but other than that, i dont own any of these. But i guess i go for a little higher end stuff.

[@robynbarricks762]

Hi David and Seth

[@timtitus2532]

David and Thomas, I'm not in the loop. I haven't purchased any of these. I've made about 20 acquisitions this year. 🤔🤨

[@billvan5219]

Has anyone mentioned that the black knives disappear against the dark shirt?

[@wasnt_it]

Any more pocket fixed blade designs coming from DA?

[@carlosspicyweiner1]

I ordered a petrified fish knife. Wasn’t a fan. Definitely provided plenty of “value”

[@newtypeJP]

such a weird timing new 2024 but its practically already next year lol

[@coyote4936]

I want a new PM2 salt, full serrated

[@nateholden24]

I’m kinda new to the knife scene. But can someone explain to me why the BelAir looks exactly like a bench made bugout?

[@parrisheverettep]

The Yonder is an illegitimate birth of the elementum and knafs lander.

[@MHPCollecting]

Man I'm really liking that MKM Pocket Tango, You did an amazing job with the design(s), Definitely going to grab one of those real soon. Great video brother. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas/New Year's ✌️😎

[@MrAhuraMazda]

Damn, you run a knife channel and didn't even give Dave's knife a chance yet? Wow. Way to support Dave 😡😡

[@GoTellJesusSaves]

Hopefully the popularity of MagnaCut steel continues to drive prices down. 🤞

[@coyote4936]

Knafs should do an “official Boy Scouts of America knife”. I would buy one.

[@unfi6798]

Cowabunga.!

[@joecorzine8057]

DCA I love the pocket, tango I have the Nesmuck it’s a great knife. I have big hands about the same size as yours and yes, it is still very much able to do a lot of task even though it’s a small blade personally I think if it was 3.1 inches and the handle just a little bit longer would’ve been perfect, but I think you guys held that knife back by giving it that stupid magnetic sheath that sheet is crap. I don’t even like the idea of it magnets leather. You gotta be kidding me if you could’ve made it for a neck knife with Kydex or made it at a horizontal carry with Kydex. I just think you guys held it back a lot by putting it in that leather sheath. I think sales would’ve been through the roof if they had kydex! Maybe you could talk to those guys and offer a kayak sheath that might revamp the sales a lot just a suggestion anyways congratulations it is a great knife

[@jusme8060]

Agreed, sheath comes out with knife or gets lost when working around metallic objects. Still cool but yeah

[@sandrokalandadze9501]

That pocket clip cutout is destroying all the aesthetics of Iridium 😞 (and on every knife that has that )

[@WilliamWallis]

@@sandrokalandadze9501 💯

[@kevinangus4848]

Sounds like you need different knives, or a lot of replacement clips. You GO, girl!

[@adamkolb113]

Awsome let’s go

[@BluestedSRT4]

Manufacturers, look at that table, what do you notice? The knives go from best selling to better selling, and as they do the blade length goes from small to large. People want big knives, you can slow down with the mini and micro trend and start the L and XL trend for 2025.

[@andrewdarowski1975]

Probably only because of the rules they imposed, otherwise I imagine that the majority of this list would be victorinox knives, with the victorinox classic at the top.

[@colinlynch6491]

I wouldn't consider a bel air large. The middle of the pack seems to be where the large blades sat.

[@Holabirdsupercluster]

Buddy you understand that this is not a representative sample of all the knives they've sold this year, only new models? You absolutely cannot draw your conclusion from this limited evidence

[@uzimax322]

@@Holabirdsupercluster I can draw the conclusion that you like small knives

[@kevinangus4848]

Not everyone can carry a knife with a blade over time 4" ( Maryland, 5 hi from Washington D.C.), or even over 3" ( Washington D.C.). I guess you never been to somewhere the buildings are THREE FLOORS! And paved roads! Quit trying to be manly: you're not a knife, but you are some kind of a tool. A knife would be sharp, for example. This is a Christmas cheat sheet for a noob who wants to give a decent knife, too. 😁

[@serdj_50618-P]

Kershaw Bel Air is a good knife, but it is too bloody expensive in Europe

[@uzimax322]

We gotta bring the whole knife industry back to the US

[@colinburgess9455]

I guess I have individual tastes, nothing in your top ten tickles my fancy.

[@PlayboiCarti-ny9nz]

Of course the knife review channel sells knives

[@knobbshots]

Awe the Swordfish is a total revision, no no, DCA. That’s okay, we’ll let ya slide (cuz what other choice do i have)😉🤷🏻‍♂️

[@derekneumann]

Top knife of 2025 will be the KC exclusive Olive Drab Alox Victorinox Huntsman...

[@mattbaker3954]

Dose anyone on here know what kershaw heat treats their magnacut to ??

[@chrisoneill325]

On Kershaw's website it lists 62-64 hrc

[@foreverjim5240]

I know my Houge K320 won't be on this list. I'm on my third set of omega springs. Pretty much junk

[@Biwic]

Anyone else want to like Mircotech knives but can't stand the freaking billboard that's supposed to be a blade?

[@peteroconnor-v8x]

If you say my hands are slightly larger than average ever again, I am going to have a small stroke. A slightly smaller than average stroke.

[@jusme8060]

They should have made the sendy to hold good tweezers. I like the idea but civivis tweezers suck

[@jusme8060]

And if they make the utility blades on the other model able to swap out fast, they will take over the world.

[@JamesTaylor-fr4nt]

Crazy how most new knives are folding when the trend is pokerable fixed blade

[@jusme8060]

Illegal in many places

[@willd6515]

When you flood the market with a lot of {cheap} different models like the Chinese manufacterers do, I'm sure you get in whatever top 10. I don't see the value in it, but that's just me.

[@troyspurling1910]

Congratulations DCA on the #2 spot. I bought 2 Pocket Tangos this year. Most of this list had me disgusted with all the Chyna on the table, but I was very happy to see the #1 spot for Kershaw. I salute all of those who bought one. MAGA!

Couldn't concentrate on the video because of that awful background music! Too fast, loud, cheap sounding and thrashy.

Your sign-off is flawed. There is no such thing as a non-knife person. There are only those who don't yet KNOW they are knife people.

[@rwe1]

Why y'all buying so many knives without flipper tabs? I don't get it. Other than the Emerson Wave, there's no faster way to get a knife deployed. But, to each their own.

Thumb studs are just as fast

[@rwe1]

@nathanielmatthew9555 I disagree

[@nathanielmatthew9555]

@@rwe1 factually I can get just as much speed with thumb studs as with a flipper tab. It's not a matter of opinion.

[@thehairywoodsman5644]

interesting that didn't allow the PM2 SALT to make the list, but you let the SWORDFISH with a button lock to..... also I wonder what Trumps 100% tariff on Chinese imports will do to this list next year.

[@jusme8060]

My pm2 sucked. Maybe got a dud

[@jusme8060]

All of these Chinese knives can be sold for about 12 bucks and still make a giant profit so I'm guessing nothing much
