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.

Then the Starmate came offering the same technology in a more compact solution but... it was not as fast an easy to get into action as the Military. Sal Glesser, CEO of Spyderco and designer of the C36 has been studying the possibiliy to reduce the size of that large folder. But he wanted to keep "the cockpit" of the Millie even if the lenght of the blade was shrunk from 1/3. As an inventor, Sal Glesser wanted to go beyond liner lock technology with his new compression lock he developped for the Gunting (a Martial Blade Craft folder, a very strong lock then!) So here it is: a smaller Military with a better lock ! After some times, it's easy to get absolutly addicted to the ParaMilitary.
