Not long after those of you who have read past issues of the BLADE Complete Knife Guide open this one, you will notice an immediate change in format. While past issues have included our exclusive, updated Knife Industry Directory (page 42) containing the contact information of, and other important details about, most of the leading knife, sharpener, knife supply and other companies in the factory realm, the old format otherwise largely followed that of BLADE® Magazine, the world’s No. 1 knife publication. That’s no longer the case. Instead, BLADE Complete Knife Guide Spring 2021 has taken some of today’s sharpest categories and chosen an array of edged and edge-related tools to populate them, including all important specs and other information, and quality, highresolution images of same—all provided by the companies…

For decades, the tactical folder has been the face of the knife industry. It’s built, it’s everyday carry and its sleek look adds an aesthetic touch to what is a most functional tool. Tactical folders remain the life blood of many manufacturers’ annual sales mo-mentum, and the variations on the theme of hard-working, durable and appealing designs remain robust. Marvel at their form and function while finding the perfect match for your pocketbook. The featured tactical folders are classic examples of the genre, offering the attributes that draw you to a style that exhibits demonstrated staying power. Each is made with precision, features the latest in blade and handle materials, and provides that zesty something extra, that intangible which makes it one of today’s top choices.

KA-BAR’s 1313SF Knife is the first in the company’s new USSF line, which also includes another fixed blade, a folder and a breaching tool. An iteration of KA-BAR’s classic USMC fighting/utility fixed blade, this issue’s cover knife and its back story are microcosms of today’s world of knives and social media. “Our USSF line started as an April Fools’ Day joke in 2018,” explained Joe Bradley, KA-BAR Knives sales and marketing manager. “I was about to head home for the day and realized we hadn’t done anything for April Fools’. I had our graphic designer, Rick Galas, create a USSF KA-BAR for me and I posted our creation to all of KA-BAR’s social media accounts before heading home for the day. Little did Bradley know but KA-BAR’s social-media post was…

Lean back, relax and examine the production knives set to be introduced in 2021 on this and the following pages.
