The official blog of Knife Depot
A collection of the best knives on the planet.
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.”
When facing off with nature in a critical situation, don’t let your knife’s response time and weight slow you down. Critical situations demand the Ken Onion Blur from Kershaw knives.
Our latest Badass Knife of the Week isn’t called the Blur for nothing. This pocket knife uses Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe assisted-opening mechanism, which allows for quick and easy engagement with one hand.
But what really sets this iteration of the hugely popular Blur apart from the others is the premium S30V powdered stainless steel used for the blade.
Your boots are made for more than walkin’ — but that’s our little secret.
The tactical knife gurus at Smith & Wesson have designed this Badass Knife of the Week to fit snugly and securely in your footwear for the utmost discretion.
Standing for Hostage Rescue Team, the Smith & Wesson H.R.T. Tactical Boot Knife is the perfect choice for a last-ditch weapon when things get rough.
Meet your new favorite knife.
The Boker Plus Anti-Grav Pocket Knife claims the honorable distinction of being the first Badass Knife of the Week with a ceramic blade. What’s so badass about a ceramic blade? Let us explain.
The 3.25-inch ceramic blade on the Anti-Grav has a number of advantages over traditional steel blades, including superior edge retention, a lighter weight, excellent rust-resistance, and much more.
In terms of the most classic American knife pattern, nothing tops the stockman folder. For that reason alone, the Case Medium Stockman is a worthy Badass Knife of the Week. But the knife is much more than a historical artifact.
A leading knife manufacturer since its inception in 1889, Case Cutlery has worked hard to become a yardstick for quality in personal knives, foregrounding a level of craft that has garnished considerable respect around the world.
Whether you’re hunting hogs in the wilds of Florida or heading out on a camping trip, the KA-BAR Baconmaker is a badass knife with a versatile design that’s optimized for any outdoor adventure.
Produced by KA-BAR in conjunction with Johnson Adventure Blades, the Baconmaker is 12.75 inches of pure gristle and strength.
No knife is more equipped to navigate the mean streets than the latest Badass Knife of the Week. The Spyderco Street Bowie is a tough knife that’s been optimized for military and personal-defense use through its power and versatility.
Although Spyderco is known for its folders, the Street Bowie was one of the company’s earliest fixed-blade collaborations because of how well it fit into the ethos of the brand.
The design of this fierce knife comes from the mind of custom knifemaker Fred Perrin, who is a highly renowned self-defense instructor and a former French Army Commando among other things. He used his experiences to give the knife substance and functionality.
Like Robin to Batman or Chewbacca to Han Solo, our latest Badass Knife of the Week is the ultimate sidekick. The Leatherman Sidekick is the perfect tool to have at your side when you need a little help.
Unlike some of the larger Leatherman models, the Sidekick stands out from its brethren with a compact and lighter design that still features many of the tools you’ve come to expect from the respected brand.
Billed as an excellent option for first-time users of the iconic Leatherman, the Sidekick features 14 different tools, such as a wire stripper, serrated knife, plain-edged knife, saw, can opener, bottle opener, ruler, can opener, bottle opener, pliers, screwdrivers, and more.
The Kershaw Knockout is a real knockout, but the actual reason it has that name is because they’ve knocked out a piece of aluminum frame to add extra strength and security to the frame lock by putting a piece of steel in its place.
Made in the USA, the Knockout boasts a 3.25-inch blade made of stonewashed Elmax steel with a satin finish. It locks into place with a sub-frame lock that’s extremely secure without unnecessarily weighing down the knife.
When all else has failed and everything has hit the fan, the latest Badass Knife of the Week is all you need. The Benchmade 175BK Adamas Fixed CBK is the perfect last-ditch weapon when things get dicey.
The Adamas Fixed CBK, which stands for Concealed Backup Knife, is designed to be the ultimate defensive push dagger. As part of the Adamas Series at Benchmade, which includes knives made by Shane Sibert to honor the courage and commitment of the military, the dagger was made with input from members of law enforcement. It shows too.
With its 440C stainless steel double-edge spearpoint blade, the 175BK is exceptionally well-balanced and coated in Benchmade’s BK1 matte black finish that offers extra corrosion and scratch resistance.
