ladies and gentlemen this year we have shown you hundreds of knives in 30
different knife banters and now we bring you the very best the most amazing the
most grandiose the super beautiful the very best knives of 2017 what is up guys
today a blade HQ we are looking at our top 7 best knives of 2017 but before we
get into exact what are we doing well we're doing a giveaway so what we want
you guys to do is we want you to pause the video as soon as I'm done talking
and guess what the number one knife of 2017 was and go down just guess whatever
you think it is we're gonna go through all the people who guessed and we're
going to have a giveaway and we're gonna give away the number one knife of 2017
to one lucky commenter so pause the video go below comment and then you'll
find out what it is at the end nobody in the world is gonna get it right I don't
think so yeah I don't think so now here we go guys here's how this works we went
through all of our sales data people are gonna say well how did you come to best
data data folks so the number seven knife of the year is the Benchmade
Bugout boom right there Benchmate Bugout s30v steel 3.2 four-inch blade
you've got a polymer handle deep carry clip with the axis lock and ambidextrous
thumb stud now the thing about the benchmade bug-out that i think is pretty
interesting i think it would be higher in the list not number seven
yeah if it had come out earlier this came out in I think August if I remember
correctly somewhere around there yeah so if this had come out earlier and if
inventory had been higher these things sold out like that they were gone
forever so Benchmade is having a hard time
keeping me in because they're just so popular yeah yep and in fact the funny
thing about this one this one is actually Jamie our cameraman yeah so
because we don't even have the show so benchmade bug out number seven and I
think this one will probably be in the top seven next year as well I'll bet
it's even higher than number seven so benchmade bug out and the cool thing
about this wait on it what is it Zach before
long and needs at they point 1.85 and how many's but super-lightweight yeah
excellent knife so if you're looking for ultra lightweight knife Benchmade
bug-out suite number six I'm gonna pass it under the table to use it at the
table that's right I actually really love this
knife it is the CRKT pilar mmm so beautiful knife super great blade
lengths about 2.4 inches a stainless steel handle you know it comes in around
24.95 so it's not a high and knife no no no but just a great workhorse I love
this knife you know you've got a nice thick stock here just great great knife
all the way around and then pocket on this it's just the the standard clip
right there so single carry option so tip down carry
tip down care frame lock knife frame lock knife so yeah super great knife
love this knife why is this from the top 7 exact I think it's in the top 7
because price yeah and because it really is just a great worker like it just it
it takes care of business and and its CRKT does a good job I mean some people
complain blade steel this that whatever but it really is and I think this is
actually a Voxnaes design yeah totally and it's named after Ernest Hemingway's boat
which you love so I love that you love that knife this knife because yeah
because of that exactly yeah it's great so and actually I was
wrong it actually has another carry option right there
tip up or tip down so I apologize for that yeah but number six great knife
number six CRKT Pilar folding knife yeah next time listen this is
interesting to kind of shows what you guys and we talked about this and it's
like you guys voted with your dollars yeah on which knife was which knives are
gonna be in this list and they're all folding knives so number five
Boker Kalashnikov boom and particularly this month yeah the book Kalashnikov
desert warrior so you've got kind of this bronze blade with the olive green
handle aluminum handle deep carry clip on it aus 8 steel with the plunge lock
it is an automatic so push the button it opens just like that so the thing about
this particular knife it has forever been one of the best knives of blade HQ
but we stuck it in this color combination and people have just loved
it I think it's kind of got that military s click to it but just solid
kind of low-key colors yeah and honestly at 29.95 an amazing little automatic yep
so it is that's the sale price right now yeah this is than that sometimes we
mentioned prices in these videos and people are like well you said it was
this yeah yeah so when we said that so check the website for current pricing I
like that we should have that disclaimer like in an asterisk voter desert warrior
next on the list we got the under the table it's gotta be secret drumroll
please
the Kershaw Launch 4 so this one also wasn't a big surprise to me
no no these fly off the shelf super popular and this one was actually in our
best of 2016 video as well yeah yeah which it's and I think the reason is for
this one is the blade length yeah blade length on this is like 1.9 inches it
makes it legal pretty much everywhere in an automatic obviously we're not lawyers
but yeah Totally pretty much everywhere I wouldn't take our legal
advice yeah definitely not you haven't even gone to any law school but CPM 154
steel aluminum handle tip up carry and you know obviously it's an automatic yep
so yeah automatic knife they're great knife super great and I really like this
one it's not something I think I personally carry why not it's just the
blade design on it I think that I would just end up as people have seen in Zack
needs new knife knife bent er yeah I would probably I'm breaking the blade
but I think that it is great for those who are looking at to carry an automatic
and who might have restrictions where they live great little box cutter yeah I
mean I I look at this and this is like quintessential box cutter exactly so and
the price on these guys you're looking at I think the regular price is 74 to 95
little asterisk check current pricing on the tape there it is guys a launch for
that is be what number three for what number was that number four I'm lost
yeah that's number pain next on the list guys number five and I'll bet
bunch of you wrote this down in the comments but you're wrong it's number
five you ready for this Spyderco para 3 beautiful knife
brand-new for 2017 one of the best sellers at blade HQ for 2017 you got the
oversized lanyard hole the CPM s30v steel g10 handle with a compression lock
on the back for easy closing the thing I like oh this one's act 3 inch blade yep
the paramilitary 2 little big for my personal taste and I think a lot of people like
that smaller blade for a reversible pocket clip on it and the weight is
right at 3 ounces well I'm talking about shorter blade smaller everything that
has made the list is kind of more of a compact fold it's true there's not a
huge you know huge folder so I wonder if part of that has to do with the price
because as you get a bigger blade that price goes a little higher yeah
especially for something for something has some quality to it yeah so I think
when you're looking at quantity sold I wonder if those higher price point
knives don't move as much as the small as the lower price point no that's
probably what it was the shorter blade because let's be honest guys s30v steel
is not cheap yep not cheap so when you're adding an extra inch to it it's a
little more expensive and one thing that I love about Spyderco is the tip up tip
down you put the clip anywhere totally just great totally alright next on the
list guys in fact we should do a quick mailbag let's mailbag it mailbag okay
before we dive into the day tease tease Oh bah he stole your bagel he said love
your videos pay for my tuition I don't know if he means that our videos pay for
his tuition or he wants us to pay for his tuition what do you think I think he
wants us to pay for his tuition hmm good luck then excellent Zac was a good
addition to this I agree I think that's a great addition I also like how they
spelled your name right yeah thanks I really appreciate that thank You what's the
next one Zack the next one is you guys sound ridiculous double exclamation
marks period like two cheesy cárcel too cheesy car salesman TT o t o talking about
stuff you have no idea about space double exclamation mark
so okay fair enough I like to use you are we jerks yep no I don't think we're
jerks I don't think we're jerks the next one love the new videos with Zack sad to see
Austin go we were too definitely there please tell me when we're going to get a
DIY micarta episodes soon Zack I think you have something in your pocket to
show the good people there might there might be there might be something it
might suck it to show the good people on the Internet okay yeah no yeah yeah
let's see so here it is so this is a prototype for everyone just just roughed
out I just wanted to see i pressed in my card I just wanted to see how it react
so obviously it looks a little rough but there it is
so that back in your pocket don't let them see that very very soon very soon
thank you guys will enjoy that yeah so all right guys on to the number two
ninth of the year what is it Zack Oh Buck 110 Automatic
I'll bet people could've guessed that one yeah so this one definitely top five
for sure yep just great all the way around clip point clip point blade 3.75
in length it's got the ebony diamond wood handles on it and then with the
copper fixtures and everything just as bowls bowls yeah breasts yeah it's just
beautiful beautiful and it is a push button auto as you guys probably know it
came out in 2017 so definitely a new release from buck for the year and I
look at this one I think this is gonna be on their best seller list for years
to come well it was something that people were
taking and modding out themselves yes and so that's why Buck was like okay you
want an auto will give you an auto so it them a while to get there
yeah but now they've done it I think the they are probably enjoying the sweet
sales from autos this was the first knife that sat on my desk when I
here and it sat there for like a month or two until I finally bought one nice
yeah I actually bought it for my dad but I will be getting myself one as well
good its hefty it also comes with a leather sheath yeah and the leather
sheath is real it's it's nice so very nice gotta love it okay and
number one bestseller of the year drum roll
I can't wait any longer this is hilarious Kershaw Injection I know crazy
crazy we couldn't believe it when we found no we can't find this out this was
the number one best-selling knife at blade hq.com now here's here's my take
on this guys we've had this on sale for about ten bucks all year long it's got a
g10 handle eight CR13MOV steel it's a liner lock 2-way reversible pocket clip
tube upper tip down and let's be honest guys I don't know that you're gonna find
a better $10 knife out there sub $20 knife
it's Todd Rexford design so you've got a great designer paired with a great
manufacturer and it is a it's been $10 all year loan and so I look at this and
I know you guys a lot of you guys are knife nuts that are hardcore into steel
types and different things but I know that you also have a lot of friends and
I suspect that a lot of friends got this as a gift this year for sure the Kershaw
injection so I'm curious how many of you said that down below if you set it up
the amazed those who said it and put it in the comments I know that they're
cheating I'm nearly certain they're G they scroll bad but that great little
knife the weight on those three point three ounces black g10 just a great
folding knife and level folder and for ten bucks it's just such good action
like it just really feels great yeah and we we were talking about this one
actually just before and even the blade centering yep like the blade centering
even on it is really nice it's so it's really a really great little knife for
ten bucks it is so I was totally surprised we started looking at the data
it was like mmhmm yep that's a fun little teeth so there you
have it guys as well I want to throw a couple accessories in there just for our
own kicks and giggles the top accessory at blade HQ actually when it comes down
to best seller of all year blue lube really true story huh interesting I
believe and I'm kind of going off a phone conversation I think the very best
seller benchmade of all time blue lube What? yeah which makes sense yeah I
think it's it's under 10 bucks yeah yeah I need for your knives
the other thing another bestseller yeah the grind works lighter warhead
lighter yeah the warhead here so super great little lighter keychain lighter
pocket lighter write it like that like people okay let's see here slate this
place on fire there we go it is accessory of the year yeah and the very
best best best seller of all year long pretty amazing the attiny omission brass
tag so we sold more of these tags than any individual knife on the table which
is pretty darn cool because all of the profits from these went to the charity
continue mission so that is on you guys which is super cool so guys that is our
2017 best knives review I want to just give a shout-out to you guys it's super
fun to be in this industry doing stuff like that continue mission brass tag
