A collection of the best knives on the planet.
Feel the sting of our latest Badass Knife of the Week. The CRKT Sting offers a sudden, biting, and piercing self-defense tool that quietly waits in the wings until it’s time for action.
The Sting is meticulously crafted from a single piece of forged 1050 carbon steel, which is treated for maximum durability and strength. The double-edged blade is 3.197 inches long and coated with a non-reflective powder finish to increase corrosion resistance and decrease visibility.
Sometimes, our Badass Knife of the Week gets the honor for more reasons than just being a well-constructed knife. Sometimes the background of the knife makes it even more badass. Here’s what we wrote about our latest Badass Knife of the Week—the Buck 245 Matt Would Go—when it was first announced in January:
By all accounts, Special Warfare Operator First Class (SEAL) Matthew J. Leathers was an amazing human being. Not only was he a highly decorated SEAL but he was also someone his friends and family describe as a nice guy who would give others the shirt off his back.
When Leathers was lost at sea during a training exercise off the coast of Hawaii in 2013, the military suffered a huge loss.
But thanks to Buck Knives and Leathers’ father, his legacy will live on in the badass 245 Matt Would Go—a knife designed by Leathers himself.
Featuring a 4-inch drop point blade made from tough-as-nails 5160 steel, the 245 MWG is built to withstand nearly anything you can throw at it.
You never know where trouble is lurking. That’s why it’s always important to be prepared for anything. Our latest Badass Knife of the Week excels at blending into the background and remaining out of sight and out of mind until you need it the most.
The United Cutlery Honshu Karambit, which is one of our best-sellers, is an easily-concealed device perfect for self-defense!
Spyderco is known for taking risks, bucking conventional wisdom, and striving for the best knives ever, regardless of what they look like.
No knife embodies these qualities of Spyderco like the latest Badass Knife of the Week: the Spyderco Military G-10.
The Military, which is better known as the Millie to its legions of dedicated fans, was introduced in the early 90s and has since earned its place in the pantheon of important knives. We’ve given the knife quite a bit of attention. Not only did it make our list of most iconic Spyderco knives but it also made our list of most iconic knives ever. So it’s only fitting that the Millie is also a Badass Knife of the Week.
What sets the Military apart from the countless clones is the attention to detail and perfectly executed design. As one of the most mimicked knives ever, the Military still proves why it’s the best.
Our latest Badass Knife of the Week is a no-nonsense knife for no-nonsense people.
The Schrade Old Timer 165OT Woodsman will excel at pretty much everything you need it for: hunting tasks such as skinning game and day-to-day things like slicing cables and cutting meat.
You haven’t seen just what the art of blade grinding beholds until you’ve seen a knife made by Kiku Matsuda. That’s why the SOG Kiku Folder is the latest Badass Knife of the Week.
When you combine the convenience of a pocket knife with the utility of a rescue knife, you get our latest Badass Knife of the Week: the Magnum Special Forces Pocket Knife by Magnum by Boker.
This pint-sized tactical knife is dedicated to one of the world’s most elite units, the US Navy SEALs. With an emblem that says Special Forces, the knife will make a big impression on veterans and Navy junkies alike.
The people have spoken: our latest Badass Knife of the Week is one extraordinary fixed blade. As the most recent winner of the People’s Choice award at BLADE Show 2015, the Schrade SCHF36 Frontier has proven its worth by helping countless people navigate parts of the wilderness where no other has gone before.
When you’re talking about most iconic knives from Benchmade, our latest Badass Knife of the Week will always be in the conservation. In fact, some people say this knife is as close to perfection as you can get.
Not only is the Benchmade 710 the first Benchmade to feature the highly regarded AXIS locking mechanism but it’s also one of the best all-around folders on the market.
It all starts with the 3.9-inch blade. The modified clip-point blade is extremely versatile, and the dual thumb studs make for quick and easy ambidextrous opening.
The 710D2 iteration of the folder, which was designed by Bill McHenry and Jason Williams, features high-quality D2 steel. Known for its outstanding wear resistance, D2 steel is touted for its ability to tackle the toughest tasks around.
Our latest Badass Knife of the Week features a sick design that’s not very common: it’s a spring-assisted knife with a knuckle guard.
With its modern twist on the classic trench knife, this spring-assisted knife with knuckle guard is something to behold. The knife mimics the style of the popular combat knife from the two World Wars but adds some newer features that take it to the next level.
