  • Best Factory Knives of Blade's First 40 Years
    BEST FACTORY KNIVES OF BLADE’S FIRST 40 YEARS Table of Contents Chapter 1 Best Factory Knives 1973-1988 Chapter 2 Best Factory Knives 1989-2000 Chapter 3 Best Factory Knives 2001-2012 Chapter 1 Best Factory Knives 1973-1988 They may have been your father’s knives or your grandfather’s knives—they may even be your knives. To help celebrate its 40th anniversary, BLADE released a three-part series recognizing the top 40 factory knives over that span (1973-2013). The first chapter pinpoints the top factory knives from 1973-88. We compiled a list of some top factory knives over that stretch and submitted them to a panel of veteran knife observers and asked them to select their top five to 10—or however many they felt comfortable choosing. Though “top factory knives” can be subjective, we determined a top factory knife is one that excelled in terms of setting a standard that other companies attempted to emulate, and/or excelled in quality of craftsmanship, originality and creativity—or both. We no doubt inadvertently omitted knives that should be included. As a result, we asked our panel members to add those and rank them in their lists, too. The panel members: knife writers James Morgan Ayres, BLADE field editor Kim Breed, Durwood Hollis, Blade Magazine Cutlery Hall-Of-Fame member Bernard Levine and Mac Overton; Pete Cohan, former curator of the National Knife Museum; writer/photographer Terrill Hoffman; Roy Huntington, editor of American Handgunner Magazine; and Rick Thronburg of William Henry. Some of the knives ranked herein were made before 1973.

  • Spyderco, Just Like All Other People, Gravitate Towards Superior Products
    Steel Elements Carbon (C) • Increases edge retention and raises tensile strength. • Increases hardness and improves resistance to wear and abrasion. Chromium (Cr) • Increases hardness, tensile strength, and toughness. • Provides resistance to wear and corrosion. Cobalt (Co) • Increases strength and hardness, and permits quenching in higher temperatures. • Intensifies the individual effects of other elements in more complex steels. Copper (Cu) • Increases corrosion resistance. Manganese (Mn) • Increases hardenability, wear resistance, and tensile strength. • Deoxidizes and degasifies to remove oxygen from molten metal. • In larger quantities, increases hardness and brittleness. Molybdenum (Mo) • Increases strength, hardness, hardenability, and toughness. • Improves machinability and resistance to corrosion. Nickel (Ni) • Adds strength and toughness. Niobium (Nb) • aka columbium. Improves strength and toughness. • Provides corrosion resistance. • Improves grain refinement and precipitation hardening Nitrogen (N) • Used in place of carbon for the steel matrix. The Nitrogen atom will function in a similar manner to the carbon atom but offers unusual advantages in corrosion resistance. Phosphorus (P) • Improves strength, machinability, and hardness. • Creates brittleness in high concentrations. Silicon (Si) • Increases strength. • Deoxidizes and degasifies to remove oxygen from molten metal. Sulfur (S) • Improves machinability when added in minute quantities. Tungsten (W) • Adds strength, toughness, and improves hardenability. Vanadium (V) • Increases strength, wear resistance, and increases toughness. Steel Production The world of steel is as fluid as molten metal. It is ever-evolving. Steel as a matter of opinion is very subjective as it relates to knives and knife knuts. There is no clear-cut answer as to which is the best steel. We have different requirements and preferences. Our hope is this guide will help you understand the world of steel a bit better and perhaps assist you in better defining what your own preferences are and why.
