My current knife interest is fixed blades that are focused on toughness. No moving parts to go wrong and easier to clean. It’s also nice having a tough knife that will easily go through a bunch of zip ties without chipping.
I've carried a different knife everyday for years, until, the kershaw launch 19 came out! That is all ive carried for 2024! Its like an auto Para3! Its perfect!
THIS. I don’t think there was a big marketing push for it. I didn’t even realize it was a thing until a couple months back Will be picking one up very soon.
I am absolutely shocked that the Civivi vision fg wasn't on any list this year. Every time I checked the site different models were out of stock and then restocked and then out of stock again. Every knife review video has it as a top 5 knife I don't get it
Shoutout to the Kunwu Chad for making it in the list! If you know, you know! The Chad is an absolute beast of a workhorse and one of my all time favorites 💯🙌🏼
That's the reality if you're relying solely on sales. Generally speaking, cheaper knives sell better. Note that a lot of Blade HQ customers are not 'knife people' and as such tend to purchase: a. brand names they've heard of (which means a lot of larger companies with big advertising budgets tend to have an advantage) and b. based on price - esp. at the moment (which means a lot of cheaper knives are over-represented). Circle back, as a knife person I agree with you. Pretty bland.
@@realbroggo Such a snob that you call a list full of benchmades, spydercos, and microtechs "bland" lol. Quite a special breed. You're literally watching a video about the most common knives people buy and you're surprised the average person isn't buying a sebenza?
Gotta be the saddest, most embarrassing, top 10 best selling knives list EVER. Pink and sprinkles and hot dog shape both twice?!? Ffs guys; what are we doing?
Having fun with our hobby...? 🤷♂️ or possibly just gifting them to people who like the colors/designs...? It's okay to take life a little less seriously sometimes.
BladeHQ has made a decision (their TH-cam Channel is proof) to appeal more to the masses and basic consumers vs the knife community that will spend $300+ on a knife. Buying direct through the makers has definitely been on the rise
Getting mad about the color of a knife means you might be spending too much time online friend. Also, those gimmicky looking knives were some of their most sold of the year. Wouldn't have sold much if people didn't want it.
I tried to stay positive as the knives appeared (far too many hotdogs & sprinkles for me .....) but I admit I started to cry when the Gerber Paraframe appeared. One of the worst knives I ever owned - poor materials & poor build quality. Would be better melted down and made into a beer coaster. However, as you stated, it's based on sales, so the numbers are what they are. Congrats to Kershaw, clearly bringing the right products to market at the right time. I own both an Iridium & Mini Iridium and enjoy them both. Kershaw appear to be stepping up their quality which I found patchy in the past. Sharp blades all.
I am SHOCKED that the launch 20 wasn’t on any of these lists. I personally think it’s an amazing knife. I’d say top 3 in the launch series and one of the best things Kershaw’s ever done.
Knife reviewers will always have a better end of the year list since their list is on what is actually the best (in their opinion) and not just what sold the most. More affordable knives, from larger manufacturers are going to win here. They were more accessible due to pricing and availability through greater quantities. This will always be a less inspired list while not bringing attention to less known knives that surpassed so many others in several ways. Winterblade, Null knives, Quiet Carry, Kunwu (glad the Chad got in there at least) easily made better knives than most on this list (That Microtech ZBT is special imo). The people hating this list are forgetting what this list is based on. Blade HQ is a store. They share real products from their store but not always real opinions. I skimmed through the video just to see what the masses were buying and where my purchases stacked up. Honestly there’s a lot I passed on because, again, much better knives made by smaller companies deserved more of my attention and money. Overall a great video!
It’s like my kid on Christmas morning, every present was his favorite one 😂😂😂😂 wish they’d get an actual knife maker or someone with a resume in on the channel. It be much more valuable and worth watching like when Ben hosted 😢❤❤
I can’t think of specific models at the moment, but I’ve seen some double edge knives that one is fully serrated and the other plain: best of both worlds!
While part-serrated and full serrated blades have their uses, they're not really ideal for a lot of everyday tasks. The serrations do not create a clean smooth cut (they tend to tear) and they also tend to get hung-up on some materials which can be frustrating. Further, serrations can be a pain to keep sharp and to sharpen. At the end of the day, it's all about selecting the best edge for the task at hand. If part-serrations work for you - go for it.
Actually for me it's less about sharpening (or lack of) and more about working around materials that can ruin a normal blade. I often work with adhesives. The adhesives often end up sticking to blades and are a pain to clean off. With a utility blade you just dump the gummed up razor and insert a new one. It's just nice to have options.
Bought me the dessert warrior Kalashnikov XL and then for Christmas bought me the black widow and my father in law the desert warrior OD GREEN and bronze blade
Yo bro i really would like to buy knives from you guys but just cant because you dont sell to my country Philippines, do you have any ways or alternatives?
Other than a Wiener Warrior pin(love it) that I bought, I've not bought any "dessert warrior" or any derivatives. I do like calling my pin "Stabby Hotdog" though. (Gave away the sticker to a coworker)
Happy new year. Bonne année. This year i am going to buy : - Vosteed, Micarta Psyop, orange handle Marten. - Kizer, Drop bear 154cm allu handle. Hawk S35vn. - Kunwu X Padre Stone wash. - Quiet Carry Drift large. - Civivi Vision fg. Thank you. By by. ^^
I would never buy anything from Blade HQ ever again. They have sold me a damaged wreck of a knife. The 'Kansept Model 6'. I keep that knife to show my fellow collectors and tell the story.
people in the comment section 🧂 because them +$300 knifes they own are not popular anymore!!. I lost my benchmade bugout at work and out of my collection of knifes it was my fav. But i can tell you, I will never buy a +$100 knife ever again my new $50 edc kershaw does the same thing my bugout did!
I have 5 Kershaw knives, 4 Civivi knives, 4 Buck knives, 3 WR Case Coperlock Knives, a Smith & Wesson knife & over a dozen Rough Ryders but you folks at Blade HQ live in a parallel universe to the rest of us who between us have purchased over 600 million Swiss Army knives, either you don't sell SAKs or simply ignore the fact that worldwide Swiss Army knives are the number one best sellers even in the USA
Russia LOVES that top 10 best selling knives list for us. "Wait, hold on, let me get out my sprinkles knife to defend myself..." Lmao we are doomed and deserve what's likely coming; aka ww3.
it would help a little if she were allowed to present at least one the lists, as it would be logical, instead of this dynamic, which reminds me of that child in my classroom that wanted to tell all himself
My current knife interest is fixed blades that are focused on toughness. No moving parts to go wrong and easier to clean. It’s also nice having a tough knife that will easily go through a bunch of zip ties without chipping.
Me too, really getting into fixed blades nowadays.
The Male crisis in America is very serious.
I've carried a different knife everyday for years, until, the kershaw launch 19 came out! That is all ive carried for 2024! Its like an auto Para3! Its perfect!
OKC RAT 1.5 in Magnacut at around $100, should be a very popular choice.
THIS.
I don’t think there was a big marketing push for it. I didn’t even realize it was a thing until a couple months back
Will be picking one up very soon.
Like the video, another idea is best selling in price brackets.
Good Idea.
I am absolutely shocked that the Civivi vision fg wasn't on any list this year. Every time I checked the site different models were out of stock and then restocked and then out of stock again. Every knife review video has it as a top 5 knife I don't get it

Really liked the multiple list format! Would definitely like to see this next year too!
Love your content! Next year it would be cool to see a couple fixed blade categories.
It’s amazing how much junk people buy. The best seller list was disappointing today the least

It's amazing how much of a snob some youtube commenters can be about pocket knives
@@Jake-bt3fc Yep. Some people are snobs with wine, some with coffee and some with cheese. Me, it's knives.

4 Benchmades on this list? not sus at all...

I love that Alex from Outdoors55 got a shout out!
I wonder what the Bel-Air shaped knife in the thumbnail could be??
It’s an iridium
@@claytonthecountryboy3272not a bad knife when I picked up a couple for 25 bucks.

Kershaw is killin it with the autos
The Kershow allu Bel air is nice to ..! ^^
Oh yes, i've got to choose an Otf. My favorite is the Combat Troodon. But Maxace made some very nice and less expensive ones ..! ^^
I also like the Tarkin ..! ^^
I actually got a Manix 2 lightweight for Christmas, mine was the translucent dusk blue one.
Heck of a xmas gift!
In your présentation, i like the Microtech Combat Troodon. The Kershaw alluminum Bel air. And the Spiderco Parra 2. ^^

I'll never understand why people dont carry partial serrated, waaay more useful and functional

Yes! You had a nice variety of lists.
I think George needs more solo videos. George actually cares about knives. Also how was there no Protech knives? Very Shocking.
We'd love to see the same list for the fixed blades... Thanks a lot! Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!!!
I thought everyone wishlisted the Sage 5 in Rex 121. Crazy it didn’t make it.
No surprise utility knives are getting popular. Automatic ones are legal everywhere and they dont need to be sharpened

Love my new Livewire.
I really want a Kershaw bel air in 154 cm that’s cheaper and a 14c28n iridium.
Just an aluminum BelAir in 14c would be perfect. If they could hit sub $100 and stay USA made? Huge seller.
Over magnacut?
@@veruts34 yeah, I’m still learning to sharpen knives
@ fair play brother! Magnacut is pretty good to sharpen tho! M390 can be a pain tho. I just love high quality steels ! lol
@ makes sense! Yeah I’ve been avoiding m390 and 20cv I’m just not there yet lol. I am saving money (sorta) in that regard though.
I truly appreciate BHQ putting section breaks in their videos. Tremendously helpful. BHQ is a great company.
11:16 IT'S THE BETTER ELEMENTUM UTILITY!!!
I enjoyed the video.
Bought me the dessert warrior Kalashnikov XL and then for Christmas bought me the black widow and my father in law the desert warrior OD GREEN and bronze blade
Yo bro i really would like to buy knives from you guys but just cant because you dont sell to my country Philippines, do you have any ways or alternatives?
Awesome knife
George! For the love of all that's holy, put some lotion on your hands!
I'm waiting patiently for my Magnacut Tanto PM2... In Dessert Warrior!!
You listening, Spyderco?!
LoL!
Other than a Wiener Warrior pin(love it) that I bought, I've not bought any "dessert warrior" or any derivatives.
I do like calling my pin "Stabby Hotdog" though.
(Gave away the sticker to a coworker)
I still need a Livewire.
No fixed blades .. that’s crazy lol
I like the para 2's I have better than the para 3 I recently bought. I think I should have gone for military 2.
It's a Fren h whi create the system of the gravity Dragonfly ..! ^^
Happy new year. Bonne année. This year i am going to buy :
- Vosteed, Micarta Psyop, orange handle Marten.

One mega commercial for Blade HQ. 😴😴😴 🥱🥱🥱
I would never buy anything from Blade HQ ever again. They have sold me a damaged wreck of a knife. The 'Kansept Model 6'. I keep that knife to show my fellow collectors and tell the story.
Not one Pro-Tech?!?!? Damn shame….
Another best: total $ sales by model.
All trash…….
Getting enough para 2 tantos in stock would be awesome. I mean come on. They're so popular and yall never have them
I don’t buy many knives, but I too have been waiting for the tanto to reappear.
I ear everybody says tho, at the end of the phrases ..! What that mean ..? ^^
None are great for the price anymore I bought that microtech otf a year ago for $279 and now it’s $311?!
Bel Aire. Aka. Bugout
New list: 2024 new knives (variant specific) that sold out
And a Spiderco Parra 2 ..! I already have the Parra 3. ^^
people in the comment section 🧂 because them +$300 knifes they own are not popular anymore!!. I lost my benchmade bugout at work and out of my collection of knifes it was my fav. But i can tell you, I will never buy a +$100 knife ever again my new $50 edc kershaw does the same thing my bugout did!
Absolutely love my kershaw livewire. Magnacut rocks.
Benchmade screwed up on their water series with the hardware not being rustproof
With the incoming tariffs , Benchmade and Microtech will rock in 2025!!!!!
Kershaw and Spyderco will still be a better value for US made. Benchmade lost their mind with pricing.
Chonk BOI!
I think the list is spot on ! Where benchmade and spiderco would love to be and didnt measure up.
I agree ! I don't own any of those knives and I don't want to 😅
Day 6 of asking for a free Tom Brown Tracker knife

These are fairly dull knives. Presented by typical nerds. Oddly I quite enjoyed it 😂
This was a joke. A bad one.

Who buys those clown colored knives? I can't stand them.
This was painful to watch
People wishlisted that Benchmade so they could remember to laugh at one of the shittiest sheath designs ever.

What happened to this channel? It used to be great. Now it mediocre at best. The high up have no idea what their audience is looking for.
Spyderco is the only good knife on the list. Impossible to believe two hot dogs in top ten much less #1. If true its sad.
