The Knife Junkie takes a look back at 2018 — some of the knife news and trends that happened in 2018. This look back isn’t intended to be an all-inclusive recap of the year, but just some of the highlights.
Among the highlights of the show — Kershaw Knives, bearings, Rick Hinderer Knives and the tri-way pivot, mass drop drops, Cold Steel changing steel, Benchmade’s quality improvements, OEMs, Spyderco changes their catalog (or their knife release schedule), and more.
