Top Knives of 2024: Best Sellers, Wishlisted Picks & More!

[@HariOmRadhaKrishna]

I bought a Boker Kalashnikov this year, but with the beautiful Copper blade & dark Green grip.

[@WilliacLHA5]

Like the video, another idea is best selling in price brackets.

[@jwdory]

Good Idea.

[@aaronwidder4458]

I've carried a different knife everyday for years, until, the kershaw launch 19 came out! That is all ive carried for 2024! Its like an auto Para3! Its perfect!

[@MiguelEDC]

Shoutout to the Kunwu Chad for making it in the list! If you know, you know! The Chad is an absolute beast of a workhorse and one of my all time favorites 💯🙌🏼

[@jaminnelson400]

My current knife interest is fixed blades that are focused on toughness. No moving parts to go wrong and easier to clean. It’s also nice having a tough knife that will easily go through a bunch of zip ties without chipping.

[@del-marmare1646]

Me too, really getting into fixed blades nowadays.

@@williampeter6593 I just bought a Tops Wood Nymph, small but tough, 1095 steel.

[@williampeter6593]

[@goldenarm009]

I am absolutely shocked that the Civivi vision fg wasn't on any list this year. Every time I checked the site different models were out of stock and then restocked and then out of stock again. Every knife review video has it as a top 5 knife I don't get it

[@justintaylor8987]

Vision FG has the best action its ridiculous

[@MPerry-ox9qb]

Kershaw Bel Air is the knife of the year IMO. $150 for aluminum scales, magnacut, USA made and comes with a fantastic warranty that’s better than Benchmade. Excellent for edc and high anti-corrosive.

[@jimmylea5349]

I bought about 50 knives this year. I bought the Bel Air. I love it. I bought all of the Benchmade knives that were mentioned, and a number of other knives shown today like the Boker Kalishnikov. I like them all. I usually carry two or three knives, not counting my neck knife. My favorite knife was not mentioned at all today. I carry it all the time. It never gets rotated out. Spyderco Endura 4.

[@jimmylea5349]

I’m in the process of finding a suitable hat knife.

[@cwalker228]

It’s amazing how much junk people buy. The best seller list was disappointing today the least

[@realbroggo]

That's the reality if you're relying solely on sales. Generally speaking, cheaper knives sell better. Note that a lot of Blade HQ customers are not 'knife people' and as such tend to purchase: a. brand names they've heard of (which means a lot of larger companies with big advertising budgets tend to have an advantage) and b. based on price - esp. at the moment (which means a lot of cheaper knives are over-represented). Circle back, as a knife person I agree with you. Pretty bland.

[@Jake-bt3fc]

It's amazing how much of a snob some youtube commenters can be about pocket knives

[@realbroggo]

@@Jake-bt3fc Yep. Some people are snobs with wine, some with coffee and some with cheese. Me, it's knives.

[@Jake-bt3fc]

@@realbroggo Such a snob that you call a list full of benchmades, spydercos, and microtechs "bland" lol. Quite a special breed. You're literally watching a video about the most common knives people buy and you're surprised the average person isn't buying a sebenza?

[@cwalker228]

@@Jake-bt3fc it’s not really being a snob if it’s the truth

[@Puahhhhhh]

Gotta be the saddest, most embarrassing, top 10 best selling knives list EVER. Pink and sprinkles and hot dog shape both twice?!? Ffs guys; what are we doing?

[@chrisoneill325]

Having fun with our hobby...? 🤷‍♂️ or possibly just gifting them to people who like the colors/designs...? It's okay to take life a little less seriously sometimes.

[@DadC10]

BladeHQ has made a decision (their KZbin Channel is proof) to appeal more to the masses and basic consumers vs the knife community that will spend $300+ on a knife. Buying direct through the makers has definitely been on the rise

[@Zurrke]

Getting mad about the color of a knife means you might be spending too much time online friend. Also, those gimmicky looking knives were some of their most sold of the year. Wouldn't have sold much if people didn't want it.

[@nickmartino2839]

Ouch...... man that was brutal... but true

[@markpatalive1436]

😂

[@rockrollguy]

OKC RAT 1.5 in Magnacut at around $100, should be a very popular choice.

[@cLABREHAB]

THIS. I don’t think there was a big marketing push for it. I didn’t even realize it was a thing until a couple months back Will be picking one up very soon.

[@cantflipforship]

Please do the video like this every year!

[@pateralus9]

Great job putting this together! Next year it'd be great to see a best-of list for knives over $200, or over $300, etc.!

[@mrmouse-ol9pw]

Kershaw is killin it with the autos

[@GasolineBoots]

I love that Alex from Outdoors55 got a shout out!

[@arig5988]

I am SHOCKED that the launch 20 wasn’t on any of these lists. I personally think it’s an amazing knife. I’d say top 3 in the launch series and one of the best things Kershaw’s ever done.

[@God_Is_The_Eternal_King]

I actually got a Manix 2 lightweight for Christmas, mine was the translucent dusk blue one.

[@mrmouse-ol9pw]

Heck of a xmas gift!

[@micahdanielson123]

I wonder what the Bel-Air shaped knife in the thumbnail could be??

[@claytonthecountryboy3272]

It’s an iridium

[@adamsmiths3016]

​@@claytonthecountryboy3272not a bad knife when I picked up a couple for 25 bucks.

[@realbroggo]

I tried to stay positive as the knives appeared (far too many hotdogs & sprinkles for me .....) but I admit I started to cry when the Gerber Paraframe appeared. One of the worst knives I ever owned - poor materials & poor build quality. Would be better melted down and made into a beer coaster. However, as you stated, it's based on sales, so the numbers are what they are. Congrats to Kershaw, clearly bringing the right products to market at the right time. I own both an Iridium & Mini Iridium and enjoy them both. Kershaw appear to be stepping up their quality which I found patchy in the past. Sharp blades all.

[@MTbone7]

Awesome knife

[@dr.fernandoesberard]

We'd love to see the same list for the fixed blades... Thanks a lot! Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!!!

[@parkewalton]

Knife reviewers will always have a better end of the year list since their list is on what is actually the best (in their opinion) and not just what sold the most. More affordable knives, from larger manufacturers are going to win here. They were more accessible due to pricing and availability through greater quantities. This will always be a less inspired list while not bringing attention to less known knives that surpassed so many others in several ways. Winterblade, Null knives, Quiet Carry, Kunwu (glad the Chad got in there at least) easily made better knives than most on this list (That Microtech ZBT is special imo). The people hating this list are forgetting what this list is based on. Blade HQ is a store. They share real products from their store but not always real opinions. I skimmed through the video just to see what the masses were buying and where my purchases stacked up. Honestly there’s a lot I passed on because, again, much better knives made by smaller companies deserved more of my attention and money. Overall a great video!

[@alexandregraulle607]

There is the little Spiderco Dragonfly to ..! ^^

[@FerrePeeters-dj5qq]

Love from belgium ❤

[@alexandregraulle607]

Oh yes, i've got to choose an Otf. My favorite is the Combat Troodon. But Maxace made some very nice and less expensive ones ..! ^^

[@drphil4209]

I'll never understand why people dont carry partial serrated, waaay more useful and functional

[@jaminnelson400]

I can’t think of specific models at the moment, but I’ve seen some double edge knives that one is fully serrated and the other plain: best of both worlds!

[@realbroggo]

While part-serrated and full serrated blades have their uses, they're not really ideal for a lot of everyday tasks. The serrations do not create a clean smooth cut (they tend to tear) and they also tend to get hung-up on some materials which can be frustrating. Further, serrations can be a pain to keep sharp and to sharpen. At the end of the day, it's all about selecting the best edge for the task at hand. If part-serrations work for you - go for it.

[@Randy_Richard]

really want a black out pm2 tanto s30v

[@alexandregraulle607]

In your présentation, i like the Microtech Combat Troodon. The Kershaw alluminum Bel air. And the Spiderco Parra 2. ^^

[@bawhite125]

I truly appreciate BHQ putting section breaks in their videos. Tremendously helpful. BHQ is a great company.

[@diego6187]

Yo bro i really would like to buy knives from you guys but just cant because you dont sell to my country Philippines, do you have any ways or alternatives?

[@bigred6845]

Bought me the dessert warrior Kalashnikov XL and then for Christmas bought me the black widow and my father in law the desert warrior OD GREEN and bronze blade

[@W3OY-RAY]

I thought everyone wishlisted the Sage 5 in Rex 121. Crazy it didn’t make it.

[@jamesd5689]

Surprising how many of the dessert warriors were best sellers. I guess that explains why BladeHQ has been putting out so many variations

[@jarofaar8618]

I really want a Kershaw bel air in 154 cm that’s cheaper and a 14c28n iridium.

[@jdisdetermined]

Just an aluminum BelAir in 14c would be perfect. If they could hit sub $100 and stay USA made? Huge seller.

[@veruts34]

Over magnacut?

[@jarofaar8618]

@@veruts34 yeah, I’m still learning to sharpen knives

[@veruts34]

@ makes sense! Yeah I’ve been avoiding m390 and 20cv I’m just not there yet lol. I am saving money (sorta) in that regard though.

[@ttattx]

4 Benchmades on this list? not sus at all...

[@MPerry-ox9qb]

Not at all. Benchmade has some excellent designs. They get hate for their prices, but Spyderco has frame locks that cost more than Chris Reeve knives that are not even made in the USA.

[@ThunderFalcon333]

Great job loved the video ✌to all

[@MikeLaRock88]

No surprise utility knives are getting popular. Automatic ones are legal everywhere and they dont need to be sharpened

[@realbroggo]

Actually for me it's less about sharpening (or lack of) and more about working around materials that can ruin a normal blade. I often work with adhesives. The adhesives often end up sticking to blades and are a pain to clean off. With a utility blade you just dump the gummed up razor and insert a new one. It's just nice to have options.

[@TK77786]

You guys make a good team. She knows her stuff. To bad the list wasn’t much to look at still some good one in there though.

[@yankee2yankee]

Regarding utility blade knives, I recently learned that they are illegal in Massachusetts! I never knew that before. This when just a few months ago, assisted knives, aka switchblades were, made legal! I am wondering, does this mean that the old fashioned box cutter, a tool ubiquitous in the trades and everywhere, which uses the same blade as some of the new knives is now ILLEGAL (we know they’re illegal on commercial planes, but where else)? We should challenge the law that makes box cutters that work like good folding knives illegal! They are just better variations on something that has been perfectly legal for ages.
