This is clearly the top choice in custom knife magazines, though Knife Illustrated is also a good choice. It's probably 60% custom / 40% production.

The articles are good and insightful, some very high quality color pictures, and it's generally speaking entertaining & instructive.

The 4 star only rating is due to (1) the lack of objectivity of the articles (I have *never* read a negative review), and (2) too many pictures of custom knives are in B&W. I would happily pay double the price, get half as many issues, but in a glossy, high quality paper, premium binding, etc...

If you are a knife collector, a knife maker, or simply looking for a quality knife, Blade magazine is the best publication on knifes.

this past year i got myself a blade magazine subscription and liked the magazine enough to buy my dad a subscription this past father's day. other reviews mention that there are a lot of ads. there are some ads but i don't mind it so much being in the publishing business and knowing that's where the $ is made. that's probably how the publisher keeps the subscription affordable.

i think the magazine gives a good mix of knife knowledge and current issues surrounding the average knife collector/carrier. i'm also a lifetime nra member and receive the nra's america's 1st freedom magazine. i find blade to be a more diverse and enjoyable read.

I bought this magazine subscription for a friend who also enjoys custom knives. It's a good magazine, but about half the issues never make it to his house. I'm not sure whether this is a problem with Blade, or what.

Order the mag, Never came, I called Amazon, Never got it, Over a year now. Never heard a word about it.......sorry to say..........

85% Ads, short articles, nothing really new or informative. You would be hard pressed to find more than 5 pages without at least 1 ad, most have half page ads actually. Junk, pure junk.

I purchased the Blade subscription as a gift for a friend who is a knife and weapon enthusiast. He reads each issue several times and could not have been more pleased.

Blade Magazine is the most informative magazine for steel enthusiasts. All the best artists of steel are featured displaying the work!s of art and how they created them every month.

I gave my husband a subscription to Blade magazine for Christmas. He buys it a lot as he is a knife collector. He was very happy to know he won't miss an issue.

I don't receive this magazine, I just buy it for
my 18 year old grandson. His senior project was
making a knife from scratch with a master knife
maker. He loves the magazine.
