A collection of the best knives on the planet.
Astute followers of our Badass Knife of the Week series will remember seeing the legendary KA-BAR USMC Fighting and Utility Knife way back in 2014.
We may be cheating a little bit, but in honor of Memorial Day, we picked the KA-BAR U.S. Army iteration as the latest Badass Knife of the Week.
The SEAL Knife Series from SOG is renowned for the extensive testing each knife undergoes in order to meet the rigorous standards of the Navy SEALs. The SEAL Pup Elite was named a previous Badass Knife of the Week but the latest Badass Knife is a completely different beast.
Say hello to the SOG SEAL Revolver.
The Revolver was already one of SOG’s most unique and distinctive knives, but the SEAL Revolver takes it to a whole new level.
With its decidedly American sensibilities of hardwork and quality craftsmanship, the Steel Will Chieftain is the latest Badass Knife of the Week.
The Steel Will Chieftain is a premium fixed blade that uses the highest quality materials with careful attention paid to construction.
When things get rough and you’re in a jam, the Cold Steel Best Pal dagger will be your best friend and that’s why it’s the latest Badass Knife of the Week.
If there’s one thing the folks over at United Cutlery know, it’s how to make some damn good throwing knives. This knowledge is perfectly demonstrated in the latest Badass Knife of the Week: the United Cutlery Triple Thrower Set.
These are the knives that knife throwers dream about.
If there’s a type of knife that’s more American than the Bowie knife, we’ve yet to find it.
Legend has it that frontiersman James Bowie used his unique knife, which was described as a cross between a butcher knife and a hunting knife, to neutralize his enemies in duels and fights, including the infamous Sandbar Fight in Mississippi.
Since the 1800s, the iconic knife, commonly characterized by its large clip-point blade and crossguard, has become a functional icon that still kicks ass. That’s why the Winchester Bowie is this week’s Badass Knife.
Since 1891, the Victorinox Soldier has been the official knife of the Swiss Army. The Soldier has gone through a number of iterations, but the latest version is by far the most badass multitool ever.
The newest Victorinox Soldier is a culmination of all the suggestions over the past 100 years, making it a knife that’s fit for all types of action.
Think all reliable tactical folding knives cost an arm and a leg? Our latest Badass Knife of the Week is proof otherwise.
The Smith & Wesson Extreme Ops Black Pocket Knife is the ultimate tactical folding knife for any budget.
With its reliable locking mechanism, the pocket knife can sustain a tremendous amount of pressure in any extreme situation you find yourself in.
When a knife is considered one of the strongest tactical folders ever to exist, you know it’s going to be honored as a Badass Knife of the Week eventually. For the Al Mar SERE 2000, that time has come.
The original SERE knife was designed by legendary knifemaker Al Mar and Colonel Nick Rowe in the early 1980s for the U.S. Army’s SERE school. The SERE 2000 features an updated design that’s stronger, lighter, and more precise.
With a 3.6-inch blade made of VG-10 stainless steel, the SERE 2000 is a sturdy folder optimized for intense and unpredictable circumstances.
In the most iconic scene from Crocodile Dundee, Mick Dundee and his lady friend are accosted by a mugger with a switchblade, to which Mick comments while pulling out his own Bowie knife, “That’s not a knife? That’s a knife.”
Sure it’s a roundabout way to introduce the latest Badass Knife of the Week, but it’s 100 percent worth it because the Dundee Bowie from Condor Tool & Knife will have people constantly remarking, “Now that’s a knife.”
