Blade Show 2024 Production Awards Recap

Last Saturday, the Blade Show awards were given out to both production and custom knives, highlighting some of the best and brightest on both sides of the knife world. Here’s a recap of the Production Awards; the Custom Awards recap will follow tomorrow.

One note: the production knife award categories were changed this year. The “American Made Knife of the Year” and “Imported Knife of the Year” categories were removed, replaced by Folding and Fixed Blade of the Year awards for both American Made and Imported designations. Furthermore, an Automatic Knife of the Year category has been added. That means there’s a net gain of three more categories, and that means there’s even more stuff to add to the ol’ wishlist.
