The official blog of Knife Depot
A collection of the best knives on the planet.
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.
The next time you’re exploring parts of the wilderness where no one else has gone before, take along the latest Badass Knife of the Week: the Schrade SCHF38 Frontier. Capable of withstanding the toughest outdoor tasks, the SCHF38 is more than 11 inches of pure power and dependability.
Featuring a powder-coated 1095 high carbon steel blade with a drop point and pronounced finger choil, the SCHF38 is the ultimate budget-friendly survival knife. The game-changing knife boasts a full tang design that’s built for a lifetime.
With a motto like “No Compromise,” it’s no surprise that a Heckler & Koch knife is the latest Badass Knife of the Week.
As an industry leader in military and law enforcement products, HK turned to Benchmade to create its edged tools and ended up with the imposing HK 14715SBK. Perfect for heavy-duty use and urban tactical carry, the knife’s design combines many of Benchmade’s best qualities.
The best works of art aren’t merely completed and then sent out into the world. Instead, they’re modified, tested, and reworked countless times. One look at the latest Badass Knife of the Week and you’ll see why that often leads to perfection.
Renowned knifemaker Ken Onion designed the Onion Skinner for CRKT and spent more than five years giving it to hunters and taxidermists for feedback. After continuous modifications and repeated testing, the Onion Skinner proved its worth in the real world.
With a long list of missions and successes that date back to WWII, the Navy SEALs are among the most badass special units ever to exist. Since the members of the force constantly put their lives at risk, it only makes sense to use nothing but the best equipment. SOG has built a knife worthy of the Navy SEALs themselves: the SEAL Pup Elite.
The Badass Knife of the Week is impressive in every way. Its laser focus on high performance in the toughest situations separates the SOG SEAL Pup Elite from other knives.
