Thanks so much for throwing our bead on the #1 knife of the year!!!
I found you!!
Not this year, but in the past I have purchased two Boker Mermaids as gifts. Two ladies in my life now carry a purse knife on the regular. Thank you BHQ and Boker.
I'm slowly building out my collection, finally getting to some grail knives. My daily was the Kalashnikov, since getting that exclusive 940 though, it has become my daily. Love the exclusive jade handles. Definitely worth it.
The Blade HQ exclusive 940 is one of my favorites too! -Jim
Did it come with an angle grinder lolz
That handle is awesome
I have an Elementum that I carry regularly. I love it. I recently purchased a Vosteed Raccoon. It is amazing!!
Stoked to see the M4 940 made it to the list!
I've collected knives for many years, always wanted a 940 because my last name is Osborne - but I was always chasing another grail, lol
Luckily my wife snagged me one for Christmas during the October release! Now I carry it as much as I carry my XM18 - however, being a little boujee, my 940 got the frag titanium scale/clip treatment!

Thanks for another great year guys! This year is going to be just as great!
I have gone a bit ham this year with my knife purchases. I had a lot of knives as a teen\young adult, I was in scouts and camped a lot. Over time I lost all of the knives I owned except for an original Gerber multi-tool, a single blade victornox army knife, and some Chinese knock off S.A.K. I've bought a Manic 2, a Para 3, a BK16 fixed blade, a Esee Izula, and a couple of Civivi knives. Today I just installed a set of AWT aluminum scales and an aluminum ball cage for the Manix 2, and I'm LOVING IT!!!!!
That's a great year of knives! Great call on the BK16, I think it's a fairly underrated fixed blade. To many more great knife years! -George
True. I collect Benchmade and high end Boker’s but my fav everyday carry is what came in as No. 1. No spoiler alerts from this guy!
We know it is not benchmade
Bring back this version of the dessert warrior, please. 🙏🏻
Yes to a Dessert Warrior Dragonfly. Lol are you listening BladeHQ and Spyderco Execs?!? That would be awesome!
Here here! That would be pretty legendary! -George
I would 100% buy a dessert warrior dragonfly. Make it happen captain. As far as knife of the year for me goes, it was the WE Mini Malice. The action is so good on it and its si comfortable in hand. I love it. That being said, I preorder the Arcane Design Preytheon in titanium and they haven't shipped yet so we shall if it wins out the year.
I would so get a dessert warrior shaman😂
Heck yeah, George!! The man
The Elementum Dessert warrior always makes it into one of my pockets and non-knife people always ask about it. Fun little things like that might make one more fan of knives and that’s big for the community.
940 Osbourne is my fave folder of all time.
I just got into knives like two weeks ago and decided to dip my toes with a piet. Can't wait for it to come!
A great first choice! -Jim
my personal favorite of the year is my gerber auto propel... thank u gentlemen & merry christmas
Hillarious that the Boker Mermaid continues to be a top seller year after year. I bought one several years ago.
I find it hilarious and amazing that the Dessert Warrior colors are actually practical in some way, and you actually have a good reason to go "Maybe I should get this one?" that isn't "it's funny"
Grabbed a Para3 this year, I love it so much!
It's definitely a different list when you go buy number purchased. I love to see what is most popular. I'm liking the George and Theo duo on Blade Banter!
I just bought the Boker XXL Kalash that you showed in this video. Thanks for the good info, guys!
Good to see “a blade steel guy” in BHQ videos, finally. Crucarta PM2 and the textured handle Pro-tech Malibu were my favorite knives of 2022 (just don’t make me choose which is best!)
One of the greatest BHQ videos was the Mermaid coming out of the Lake. :). Great list with how quickly those Dessert Warriors went I get. I wish the Kubey Momentum was on this list. It punches way above its price point.
I especially love the lines of that Momentum. I think the reason it's not on the list is it was a late-comer in the year, but I think 2023 will be the year of Kubey! Thanks for watching! -George
love that lanyard on the elementum 👍 any idea where to snag the bead?
Knives I want to be made into a Dessert Warrior variant the most: Benchmade Bugout and Spyderco PM2. Make it happen Benchmade and Spyderco!
I own a PM2 with purple G10 scales and black DLC coated CruWear. It’s amazingly sharp. I love it.
Just bought my first 940 two weeks ago…thanks for making me feel good about my decision. :)
Surprising to see the Benchmade Buggout isn’t in the top 10.
I bought a g10 para3 with a cruwear blade this past year... incredible edc knife. I like it much more than my bugout.
i was planning on a para 3 but i went to the spyderco factory outlet in golden and held a Sage 5 with carbon fiber g10 and i was sold.
Do you have shipping to the UK? And If you don't will you ever?
The bestech strelit! A folding, hawkbilled push dagger/ the ultimate general purpose utility knife! And soooo good looking to!
One of my favorites!
Prize/useability ratio is great on the Elementum :)
It’d be amazing for y’all to carry the Hanson!!
Why would they? They came up with a great idea, and then you guys tried to do an offshoot. Doesn’t really add up for them.
@@martatrujillo8135 Maybe you should check out the history behind us 🤷🏻♂️
The PM3 Cru Wear with Micarta was my favorite this year
Where can I get that bead on the Dessert Civivi!?
CRKT Piet is a great knife for the price. Excellent to gift to friends and relatives.
i picked up the buttonlock elementum yes i did and i love it
Love the bhq exclusive ferrum forge gent 2.0 I just got.
Shout to my buddy JT for giving me the Boker mermaid as a Christmas gift this past year. For such a meme of a knife, it is surprisingly very well made.
I wish the Civivi Lumi was more popular. Love carrying that guy. But I gotta get that Elementum
Girlfriend got me an Elementum. Great knife for everyday use.
I have been carrying my WINKLER belt knife since 2013, and I have a WINKLER UTILITY CRUSHER I got 2 yrs ago. Those blades are incredibly AWESOME, but I did get a TOOR field 2.0 ,and that is the knife of the year. CPM154 is underrated ( not 154cm) they are totally different . The TOOR field 2.0 is really awesome!!!!
I love knifes. I have the conspirator, and I am really surprised the praxis or mini praxis didn't make the list.
I just can't into Spyderco knives. I know they're amazing knives, and have one of the best heat treats out there, but I just really do not like that blade shape. They look like if the Hunchback of Notre Dame was a knife.
Speaking of heat treats: I was looking at the results of several knives with M390: Lionsteel, Spyderco, Benchmade, Kershaw and a couple other. The Lionsteel and Benchmade's HRC were around 60, which was what I figured. What surprised me was that the Kershaw was the hardest. I think the Spyderco was a little over 61, which the Kershaw was almost 63.
I got one of the Dessert Warriors this year. It’s a fun knife. People who aren’t knife people like it! ❤🔪
The number 1 for be has been the Schrade303 that has been on my EDC for the last 6 years. Its a tank and a half at 9 ounces, can even use it as a hammer
I bought a cold steel American lawman s35vn in 2020 for $78 on Amazon after my Spidey tenacious walked away. Was so tired of sharpening it weekly it was a blessing. Wouldn't trade my cold steel for anything else I've handled ever!
Love my civivi elementum, it's just the right size . Great little knife.
George - you have done a fantastic job hosting these videos. Where did you get the lanyard bead on your Civivi Elementum? Merry Christmas to you.
As of right now petrified fish is my favorite brand for budget pocket knives
finally got a baby banter and enjoying it. Got my partner the dessert Warrior too
Big fan of CJRB. Just recently got the Silax fixed blade and just ordered the pyrite this morning. Love their knives!
Just started collecting last month...so far i got the Microtech Ultratech and the Microtech Hera Frag. On the way is the Benchmade Bailout from you guys 👍🏼
I’d buy 3 spyderco dragonfly dessert warriors. Without hesitation
I'm sure they'd set cart limit to 2, but I'm with you buddy! -George
I wish microtech would bring back the Socom Elite folder. What a smooth, lightweight, handling knife with a robust edge keeping steel!
Love my Buck 112 Auto
i missed the baby banter on your list, i got 2 of them, love them
ATTENTION: Be Careful if you are ordering from BHQ. Placed my order on the 18th and still hasn't been shipped. Paid for two day shipping to get it here by x-mas. Gee thanks BHQ.
I feel like the Cjr crag with the recoil lock is so underrated!!
The Benchmade Taggedout,or the upgraded Hogue Deka,
I think some of the best ones are more grail style knives due to most can't afford lol. My grail was a large sebenza. Finally got it it a few months ago. Some what regret (still love it), I sold to much of my other gear to get it
That bead knife combo. 🤤 🤤
Just curious where'd you get the donut bead?!
I picked up the Civivi Elementum in dessert warrior. I put pink lanyard and blue glow in the dark bead. #1 for 2022.
That Dessert Warrior is great for Gravy Seal LARPers.
I have two of the bladehq 940bk-2004 and on one I swapped the regular green aluminum scales over, it is my most used knife. I've been saying ever since the release of the mini adamas, if BM ever releases a cruwear 940, it will break the internet. I'm happy with cpm-m4 though. Both are very similar it performance and they're both my favorite.
knife, I would like to see on the table AG Russell sea scorpion, check it out
Two of my purchases this year contributed to the numbers! The PM2 & CRKT Vox (fun little beater/loaner knife). I also purchased my dream knife through blade hq being the Spyderco Shaman and I strongly believe it would be on this table if it wasn't so expensive, the steep price tag must be a deterrent for a lot of people.
Your are absolutely correct!! The Spyderco Shaman, in my opinion, is a culmination of all the best attributes from Spyderco’s lineup smashed into the ultimate knife. Much like you, over the past few years I have transitioned out of the "budget" knife realm into the slightly more "high end" realm! During the process I have acquired a few knives that have been on my wish list for some time. I have picked up a Spyderco Para 3( Blacked out S45VN), Benchmade 940(Standard Green anodized with S30V), Spyderco Shaman( Blacked out S30V) and most recently I just picked up a Spyderco Para 2 ( Black DLC Murdered Out with CPM-CruWear) and I almost forgot I also picked up a Benchmade Griptillian, the Griptillian was a knifeCenter exclusive and it came with red FRN scales and a CPM- 20CV blade that’s blacked out. I took my Griptillian and put some Applied Weapons Tech scales on it and a killer cool skull bead lanyard and it’s an awesome knife. But your right a lot of the really awesome USA manufactured knives that are available are quite expensive and that’s absolutely a factor in their sales!!
Full serrated Shaman is one of my favs. Blade is too heavy with g10 handles imo so I upgraded one to brass for a good balance.
Does BladeHQ have sell out statistics for sprint runs? Like how fast a sprint run sells out. That would be a good video for the fastest selling sprint or custom runs during the year.
I came so close to getting that Elementum for my wife as a stocking stuffer. I probably will get her one when they're back I'm stock.
I’ve seen the XXL in person…it’s intimidating!
great video! I am biased because I just bought an Elementum and I love it!
Thanks for watching! -Jim
I liked Tomas of Tactical Tavern 🔪 banter with George
I have that M4 940 and I love it. I have a basic S45VN PM 2 also, but I didn’t buy it this past year and I kind of hate it anyway.
love my bugout and my para 2
I just bought my first Benchmade. It will be my 3rd but the other 2 were gifts. Other than that I've been buying Pro-tech autos and Civivi fixed blades.
Spyderco --one thing that's always bothered me about their knives is their blade shape....in that at the base of the cutting edge they have a "guard/heel"....which forces you to not use the bottom section of the cutting edge near the handle and is harder to charpen ...this "issue" is on certain kitchen cooking knife blades. If Spyderco could remove this "bump"....many other brands don't have this . e.g. Benchmade, ZT....
i have the carbon fiber and titanium lucha and the pm2 with flytanium scales and im about to order the civivi lol
Next year we will see the Sencut knives! They are insane for the price
Nothing personal, but I suspect the "best knife" is different for everyone. My uses/needs are not the same as yours. A slipjoint does everything I need.
To be honest, a friction folder would do everything I need, but I prefer a knife with at least two blades. My favorite pattern is the stockman, closely followed by the 4 blade scout/demo/engineers knife.
I am not in a rush. I don't need or want one hand opening.
That’s the @crispydonutcommunity bead on the #1 knife of the year! Y’all need to check out their new knife the “Hanson” It is a great budged blade!
940 is an awesome knife!
I’m shocked that the PM2 outsold the PM3, all these years later. Both excellent, excellent knives. If you don’t get why they’re $200, hold one.
They're $200 because Spyderco refuses to sell knives at lower price. Each knife they sell at MSRP they make 70% profit. That's crazy. They're quality knives, but many other companies make knives with the same degree of fit & finish.
I tried both the 2 and 3. Hated them.
@@alpine1600s First, Spyderco sells plenty of knives at much lower prices. There are some epic budget Spydercos. You can get a Delica with s30v for $99! Second, nobody sells knives at MSRP (or at least nobody with a functioning brain buys for MSRP)… almost all manufacturers knives sell at around 20-30% off msrp, and most of the big retailers have standing 10-15% discounts. A 50-70% profit margin isn’t that crazy anyway, not that I think you have any idea what the margin is on a US built PM2. With perfect centering, sharpening, action.. Materials, fit and finish, manufacturing, lifetime warranty all factor into the top tier knives and a Spyderco represents a good value. There are many $200 knives that aren’t worth it, but the PM2/P3is a knife for life and it feels like it. (I say $200, but you can find a PM2 for $160, P3 for $115(!) at BHQ)
First spyderco was a pm3 ins45vn , love it too small for my hands that same day i bought a pm2 in s45vn and have scales and deep carry clip.
Looking for a tanto pm2.
@@troysnyder8174 Yeah, I like the PM2 a lot, and I own one, but I carry the Para 3 because it’s legal in my state. I rock the black blade, digi camo scales with a black ti backspacer. That’s another thing, they do a nice job on their black blades - it’s not that cheesy paintjob looking black, it’s well done.
At the start of summer I had been carry a bugout for about a year then I bought a pm2 (most money I’ve ever spent on a knife) the best knives I’ve ever had in every single way possible and looking to customize it….the 940 has been getting my attention just haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
I sanded my clip so it looks like yours. I have the Spyderco stretch with super blue
940 and dessert warrior!!!!
So, I think the most I've ever spent on a pocket knife was like $80 and I've never been disappointed. Mostly I've bought Kershaw or something comparable. But, if I were willing to spend a bit more on a blade, what should I get? Also would I really find a better knife than I already have?
You wouldn’t have to sharpen it as much. I stopped using Kershaw when I realized I had to sharpen it 3 or more times cleaning a deer. I like Buck knives and Benchmade. They hold good edge.
I have benchmade, spyderco, cold steel and zt but my favorite is the one I have made myself.
Para 2 was my first knife as well. Before I was even into the stuff
Para 3 in MAXAMET
I want that cru with micarta so bad!
When are y’all bringing back the PM2 in tanto?!! Been wanting one for so long 😭
You guys should get the AD20.5 in Ti and sell them. I got mine from dlt and love it
I bought a Boker mermaid in 2022 so I contributed to it being here
I knew it! I bought one of them! Love it
I bought a kalashnikov knife maybe 15 years ago. I was playing with it, closed it, my middle finger was in the way, cut a part of it off. I still have the scar. The skin is white and sensitive there. I returned the knife, was too scared off it. Wish I still had it.
I have a Boker Kalashnikov auto with CTS-XHP blade and although not super easy to sharpen it's amazing. And you hardly ever have to sharpen it and I'm talking with rough use. I was amazed by that steel but what happened to them? Only see the cheaper stuff in the Kalashnikovs now. D2, etc. Wish Boker would bring back the CTS-XHP, and I got mine marked down from like $130 to $70 I think it was. But only in the OD Green color. Amazing knives and you better hold on to it when you launch that blade, Boker ain't foolin' around with them springs. Stout!
Please keep the name of the knife on the screen as you’re talking about them. I always have to rewind to see the brands and models.🎉🎉🎉
Did George end with “see you on the next time”???
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i would expect the number one to be the coolest most intimidating one but it is actualy the opposite and i see why, that was very unexpected. i want it too
Better half don't know it, but, think I'm gonna sneak one of those Civivi Elementums in her purse! Now she'll have to choose between that and her two friends (S&W)! Thanks guys!
The Benchmade Adam's mini might be the greatest knife ever
