Knives 2024, 44th Edition

I’ve been a custom knife dealer for over 37 years, and the Knives Annual is essential to my market research. In addition, I rely on it to highlight trends in styles and materials used for custom folders and fixed blades. The exceptional photography aids in my decision-making about what knives I will consider for my business. - Les Robertson, Owner, Robertson’s Custom Cutlery

The KNIVES Annual is the authoritative source for what’s happening in the cutlery industry for both custom and factory knives. There’s nothing else to compare it to in terms of professional photography, informative articles, and categorized sections of every type of knife imaginable. The directory is very valuable, too. It is in a league of its own!” –Pat Covert, Freelance Writer with over 40 years in the outdoor industry

I own every edition of the KNIVES Annual. It is the indispensable authority and go-to reference on knifemakers, knife history, and what’s new in the world of knives. There is no substitute; the internet cannot give you what KNIVES provides.” –Evan F. Nappen, Esq., Author, “Knife Laws of the U.S.”
