Brian Winters without a doubt is the most innovative. It’s really not even close. They must have skipped his booth or something..
I hope Brian spent a little time filing some utility patents for those mechanisms…oh as I was typing at 10:14 they said it was patent pending. Good. Something has to be done with innovators being raped by larger imitator companies.
@@SurfMonkeyCoconutyea thankfully he seems to have that stuff taken care of most of the time, or atleast tries. It’s crazy how he has so many different things.
I was at the Brian Winter 's booth when the judges came by. I guess because he didn't do the Wayne and Garth "I am not worthy" bow to them, Winterblade was dismissed.
@@m.houston6643 The innovation reminds me of "D Rocket Designs" so radically different than the market trends, beautiful, AND so MANY! numbs my mind thinking how much work it is.
They blew my mind. Hawk is also pretty darn innovative though.
This was Blade show, brought to you by the editors of blade magazine. Need i say more🤷♂️
It's a similar situation with The Game Awards. Some of the choices for the subcategories were bizarre for the 2023 show.
No rhyme or reason and any gamer worth their salt knows they're rigged choices. I hate this garbage.
The only one that made sense for 2023 was giving Baldur's Gate 3 GOTY, which is legitimately deserved.
/off topic rant over. Lolol
Exactly 💯. He who has the deepest pockets and is on top of the billboard is going to get consideration unfortunately.
Yep. Not surprised
🎯
Actually yes plz say more 😂 Is blade mag sketchy?
It’s really cool of you to shine a light on this and give Brian his due.
Winter Blade Co was definitely robbed. So glad i didn't watch the awards live on Saturday night
I have a corkscrew, bottle opener and knife already...😮 I think I bought it at the liquor store.
A freakin' Swiss Army Knife has a corkscrew!
Sure it's cool and all, but I don't think it can be "innovative." It wasn't innovative when a corkscrew was first put on a knife, it was just clever.
When I think of "innovative," I think of an elaborate or creative design involving locking mechanisms, blade deployments, handle design, exotic blade steel or some combination of these elements.
This does a great disservice to truly innovation designs, Winter Blade notwithstanding because his stuff is legit and original as hell.
I could not agree more. Brian Winters is a madman that's been let loose on the knife industry. He is showing no signs of slowing down and I'm loving every f***ING minute of it
I saw that Spyderco somehow got an award for most innovative for another Paramilitary 2, which just seems like they were just GIVEN the award for reasons, I guess?
Yep, for adding MagnaCut... ridiculous
They have a new proprietary hardware coating coming in the pipeline. Innovative? Yes. The BEST innovation? No.
Salt series knives are completely redesigned from the ground up. It’s definitely not just Magnacut on a PM2.
@@bryaninphnx use your eyes, it is a PARAMILITARY 2. They didn't reshape the handles, the blade, hardly anything other than the material, that's not innovation, that's just creative bankruptcy.
Yeah use your eyes and read up on the salt series of knives with them 😂💀
Follow the money…big companies have more funds to contribute
The real winners are the ones that the knife community buys.
The “Good ‘Ol Boy” network is alive and well in all industry awards, not just the knife industry. Welcome to the real world, such as it is. 🤬
I would love to see a front flipper on that X-ray model! Amazing stuff WBW!
Ahhh it makes me mad, when i watched your walk around, the only knife that excited me was the double action auto, everything else was cool, but it's been a while since we have seen anything that cool, so sad it is what it is, maybe there should be two categories for best innovative, one for the large well known companies, and one for the smaller more independent companies if there going to pull this crap, otf was exciting when it came out, so was the button locks and the axis back in the day, the compression lock, they all changed the knife world, and so will this new one of they let it and don't bury it, i mean didn't spyderco win an award for cut outs in it's g10, i mean what is that, seriously, and I'm a Spyderco fan boy all the way, but innovative and exciting it was not, it was a black magnacut with cut outs in the g10, I'm getting one for sure, bus it is not innovative, micro milling on titanium is more innovative than that,
Well Said !!! 👊🏼. Winter Blade Co is absolutely putting out the MOST Innovative Knives this community has seen in a long long time. Bryan Winters is a mad scientist. I have joked with him about the fact that he must spend 16 hours a day in his shop creating and 8 hours dreaming up new creations. The man REALLY IS AMAZING at what he does. Every single piece he has created is impressive and innovative. I mean Damn !!! The Knife “Community” as a whole Owes him to flood his brand with the recognition he deserves. I understand what J said…..Some of the bigger companies have supported Blade Show for a long time but it should be understood by all that…..In order for our
hobby/business/passion to advance and grow……WE NEED BRYAN WINTERS. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Love my Factor B2, and all the knives he makes. Nice to see innovation!
I've been a quiet sub on this channel for a long time. Like all industries, the knife world no doubt has some unfortunate, unspoken protocols & practices. It's fascinating to watch you transition into that space, while maintaining a moral compass I think most blue collar Americans can identify with.
I was going to say “not rigged but having friends goes a long way”; this probably is consistent with most contests, judges aren’t impartial as they like to portray. But this is even worse at a trade show, larger manufacturers will have larger booths, know more people and will get more “favors”…
so ya, in other words you are completely right, it’s rigged! 👍
Love Bryan and love his work and amazing innovation with Every single one of his models. Thank you for shimming light into this Jared, I completely see your point!
It's great that you stand up and speak about it because this is really strange indeed
If he entered for those categories, no chance he should have lost.
Michael had the same concerns in a video.
I agree. Not fair and not good for the community.
Great coverage Jerad!
Winterblade definitely should have won that award. That thing is so sick. I have a Factor B2 and it's in my top 3 favorite knives of the 70+ I own.
So dual-action (manual and automatic) out-the-side autos have been around for a long time, but this is certainly the first double-action (in and out) out-the-side auto I've ever heard of. And the fact it's both in the same knife? There's no doubt in my mind that this should have won Most Innovative Import. Easily.
You've earned my respect for speaking out uncomfortable truths.
Jared, you make a very good argument. I can’t argue with you.
This video is incredible!
I haven't heard of Brian Winters, but I believe his designs will greatly impact the future. Amazing work to both of you!
Your right Jared, Brian's knife is way more innovative then both of those knives and i would tend to agree with the statement " something seems fishy here"😂😂
Sucks that an award should have gone to an up and coming knife maker as opposed to a large company like CRKT. Makes you wonder….
I’d be geeking out if they all made the Factor Ting noise
100%…it’s a rig. I was in the record and recording business for years…it was all rigs n kickbacks. Ya get community voting….and that will fix some of it. Good work Boss. Thanks for standing tall. Cheers
I can't believe they gave that win to Spiderco!
We should know by now that ANYTYPE of awards are fixed.
I totally agree with you. That knife from Brian Winters should win the most innovative knife of the year. As soon as I saw your video about his knife, I was like, this is a definite win. I was actually surprised that it didn't. Well, what can I say.
Look up Diskin Fire, that's a dual action out the side that came out like 10+ yrs ago.
Absolutely agree with you buddy!!!
Wow even Blade Show Awards are out of touch like Movie and Music Awards; “Creative Bankruptcy”
That Winterblade auto is f*ckin genius! That knife should win knife of the f*ckin decade!
Tbh there’s enough people that a independent blade show with the guests being the judges could be feasible thing, there’s enough social media influence to promote it and sell tickets to attendees and vendors.
You make a good case. Innovation means something new and imaginative.
Hopefully this will go in Winters' favor and he gets lots of orders, i know I'd have one if i wasn't in Scotland.
Most of the awards from shows have already decide on winners before the show even begins. Not really surprising but yeah Brian designs are amazing and always look forward to what he's cooking up. We need more mad scientist types who are ready to push the limits of what can be done with a knife. Thanks for the great vid and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable.
Man, that back actuated frame lock drop point is nice. If only it had a cut out to make using it more comfortable as a normal frame lock
WE WANT COMMUNNITY VOTING AT BLADESHOW!
this solves all the issues for the coutnries that cant have Automatics... as you can have the knife sent as a manual withthe magnets kept seperated... not only that... all the models are absolutely amazing... they dont look gimmicky at all like most of this 'futuristic' stuff usually is... Its going to be hard to get a hold of any of these for a long while...
That Brian Winters knife is thd most innovative knife in over 10 year! He got "screwed"!
Completely. Ask why Lionsteel won a couple years in a row over CRK. Yeah okay……many have said they brought money bags with them obviously. “Thanks so much for honor. We had no idea” Italy quality 😂
Well, at least Lionsteel had
Integral production knife
First integral Slipjoint
Pocket clip that vanishes into the handle
Those are some pretty cool things. And yeah, I love my Italian made knives. Honestly, the CRK has really nice blades, but the handles are meh...
I give credit to Spyderco for putting Magnacut into their Salt series - I think that move is what got them acclaim, not so much the PM2 itself. But holy moly that double action ots really blew me away - after watching coverage all weekend, I’m bothered that this vid is the first I’ve seen of it!
Never heard of Brian Winters, those are some awesome knives!
I get it, they prob want the “winners” to be large scale production knives that people can actually buy. They should defiantly have separate categories for smaller designers.
Brian Winters didn’t spend enough advertising in Blade Magazine.
As in "any" industry,Yes!
All about who is fluff'n who man.
The German Linder is an out the side auto that can be opened and closed manually. Quite affordable even.
I’m pretty sure I have a SAK with a corkscrew laying around in a drawer somewhere
When I saw that side opening auto, I said shut up and take my money
I know I’m going to echo a lot of comments on here, but Brian got robbed…
He is the Winter Wizard! We need to make sure everyone knows Winterblade is the most innovative company right now. HANDS DOWN! 🔥
This video, of all the Blade Show videos across the board, is probably the most relevant. Obviously there is a lot of cool stuff and new models and awesome customs at every Blade Show; but this definitely touches on a more important point which is the relevance of the awards. I don’t really pay any attention to these awards in the past but I’d occasionally hear people bring up knife of the year once in a while but didn’t care. But if a guy like Bryan Winters and his incredible designs and innovation can’t win an award over a knife with a wine opener in the handle, then it just confirms my belief that these awards are just grand standing bull shit. Thanks for touching on this Jerad I agree with what you say completely and I definitely am not putting down knives that have one any of the awards, I’m just putting down the awards themselves.
I was watching knifecenter video and when DCA said a quork screw on a knife won the award I laughed so hard lol
their excuse is definitely that "it isn't released yet"
Well they should not let it enter then
I want one of the Winterblades so badly! They are the coolest things out there!!!
Brian winters knife was the coolest thing I seen in any vids . Wow man . He’s a good dude too and returned my emails . 👍.
after watching your blade show walkthrough and really liking the fial
I totally agree that winter auto is most innovative and seemed like a fun knife.
maybe they picked based on wide acceptance instead of valid innovation
but hey, it's got a bottle opener
Yes. Just like every other awards show or system, It's rigged or can be gamed in some fashion to drive up chances of winning.
yes it is.
The Blade Awards are companies paying for advertisement. Any other evaluation is probably wrong.
That dark fire is awesome. I want one.
I agree with you Jared, maybe he didn't bow down and kiss the ring I don't know but you know as well as I do the proof is always in the pudding we'll let the community decide this one keep up the good work Jared❤❤❤
I couldn't agree more. Victorinox have been doing that for decades while NOBODY has done what winterblade is doing...Way to put the focus back on the Maker
I hope the knife companies that sponsor their win ( like a politician does) lose massive sales and hopefully apologize for blatantly cheating.
When a blade with a corkscrew gets an innovation award…things might smell a bit….
The CRKT is cool, but it's been done foreeeeever. Who wants a corkscrew on their knife in 2024. I don't even need one on a multitool.
I don't know the rules, but do the awards apply to knives that must be available? Because the Winter Blades knife is a prototype still if I recall correctly.
Hold on, guys...get a bottle of fermented juice, lay these two knives(cork screw and magneto) next to it and ask yourself: "am I drinking wine tonight?!" Case closed.
What ??? It did not win ??? Honestly this OTS double action will be the new standard for sure. Here in France, we have a lot of knives with a corkscrew. I don’t see the innovation there.
The PM2 won most innovative American Design
yeah again im not sure how its been around like 20 years and salt series has been around for years, alot of companies use magnacut so im not sure
Dead Reckon is more innovative than Spyderco and it's an American made knife.
This year's show seemed a bit "meh".
All the content creators I watch seemed to put out good shows, just nothing really put out an obtainable WOW factor for me. I do enjoy sub $100 knives with decent features and good steel, but as of right now, nothing really stands out.
BTW, Brian Winters stuff is unbelievable, and very innovative to say the least. I could see high end knife manufacturers wanting some exclusive collab time with this guy.
Good review and honest opinion.
I'm buying at least 3 of those CRKT's. Came home with no Witerblades.
The winterblade Severn is my most wanted knife ever wish it wasn’t so hard to get one
That auto side opener would be the one!
i have 2 side manual-autos, drad duncan and heritic pariah.
Follow the money.
Good on you for telling it like it is!
What's the name of the double action knife that's automatic and manual? Is it out yet? If so, where can I get one? If not, is there an estimated release date? Sorry for so many questions, but I really want one lol. Thanks
Winter Blade Co. Has the dopest knives around. Innovative design is great and all but... Who sponsored the event?
Nepotism is alive and well in EVERY community, even our own.
What is the voting criteria? Who decides??
I put it on the screen I think it's 7 judges
I feel like the people making the decisions don't know what the word "innovative" means. Thats the only thing that makes sense to me.
hey kneeves have you heard of Vallotton Soldier Of Fortune 2000 Double Action ? its both an auto and manual opening and its manufactured in 2000
No but I'm sure you are going to say automatic knives have come manual which I know, but not with the same mechanism if you use the auto you can't retract the blade with ease or auto,
What are you talking about, Lone Wolf and Microtech have made DA automatics, Not knew.....
This one is a double action OTS (out the side).. Its mechanism is very different from OTFs (out the fronts), and also very different from dual action knives which are auto + manual open, but not auto close.. Cheers! 🤗
100% it is rigged!
Props for talking about it.
My wife does PR for a living for a major company and she said that it’s all rigged. You pay for the award. She’s done it before for her company lol
I saw a comment that really made sense (and was quite funny to boot): seems like some of these companies have a subscription to the awards so they win every year.
Imagine giving most innovative to someone that basically simplified what victorinox has been doing for decades....
Maybe shows like this reward their sponsors who INVEST in the show. You would hope thats not the case but money talks and if a sponser is dishing out $$$ only for his competition to get acknowledgement and recognition... well that won't last.
Also, how is a design from 2010, winning a Most innovative american design in 2024. I'm very surprised you didnt mention the pm2 aswell.
Great points, and agreed on Winters' innovation... but complaining about this is just like complaining that YOUR favorite movie didn't win the Oscar You think it should have.
im not complaining im just talking about what my pick is, it needed a back story. talking about something is not complaining
The problem is that there is nothing innovative about a corkscrew in a knife and there’s nothing innovative about the PM2. It’s been around for decades and nothing has changed but the blade steel. And it’s still nothing special with magnacut at this point when you can get a hogue deka with magnacut for close to 100 dollars when it’s on sale. There’s a fuckin opinel with a corkscrew in it.
Glad you spent some time at his booth to show all his great knives off. Seems like a good dude as well deserving of the recognition. Can’t wait to buy them!
Winters got screwed!, big time!!!!!!!
Calling a knife with a corkscrew innovative, is like saying victorinox invented the wheel!
I wonder what will win next year? A knife with a screwdriver? lol
Things like corkscrews, driver bits, bottle openers, chisels, mini hack saws, and other little bits and bobs is not innovative. It's just clever.
These elements aren't bad, they're just clever, not innovative. In my opinion, going beyond conventional design is what can make something innovative.
Winter Blade is the perfect example of doing something unconventional. That's how you build something innovative. If you can make an "out there" idea into a practical and functional product, then you can classify it as innovative.
A corkscrew on a knife should be disqualifying for "most innovative" category.
YEAH! OF COURSE IT IS!!
i didn't get a single knife sent to me for freeeeeee😤
Yeah this guy wins every category except for blade shape.
Someone got payed off
Brian Winters designs are miles ahead...
Yeah that is insane just add a stupid corkscrew and win over anything from Brian winters because all of his knives are amazing.
Spyderco winning most innovative for a salt pm2?
