The Most Popular Knives: From KA-BAR to Victorinox

When it comes to knives, there are many options on the market. But some have been popular for decades, while others have gained a following in recent years. From the KA-BAR to the Emerson CQC-7, Laguiole, Victorinox, and Ka-Bar knives, to the Opinel and Benchmade 556 Mini Griptilian, there is a knife for every purpose.

The KA-BAR has been a favorite of many civilians for more than seventy years. It is a heavy-duty knife with a curved blade that can be used for opening ammunition crates, fighting, bushcrafting, chopping branches, and wood carving. The blade is made of high-grade carbon steel and the handle can be titanium or aluminum.

The Emerson CQC-7 is based on a custom folder called the CQC-6, named after SEAL Team Six and Close Quarters Combat. It has become a status symbol for elite military units and knife community.

Laguiole knives traditionally had horn handles and tips, but today many come with modernized handles made of stainless steel resistance to corrosion, aluminium, or acrylic. If you want to purchase a Laguiole knife, you should buy from a reputable source like Laguiole to ensure quality and design.

Victorinox is the world's most popular knife company, selling more folding knives than any other company. Its Swiss Army Knife has become an iconic tool and is known for its quality and performance. Benchmade has recently upgraded its line of Griptilian knives by upgrading the steel to 20CV and the handle material to G10.

The Ka-Bar is another popular knife handle among the military. It has many uses and comes in different colors and materials.

Opinel knives come in a variety of sizes with a 3 1/4 inch blade and beech wood handle. They are lightweight and comfortable to hold and were designed in Savoie, France in 1890.

The Benchmade 556 Mini Griptilian is perfect for the serious knife enthusiast. It has a small footprint, excellent edge holding, and a reversible modern steels carry clip. The blade is three inches long which makes it perfect for general everyday use.

Victorinox Classic SD Swiss Army Knife is the most popular model in the world. It's small, affordable and much more practical than you think. The Leatherman Wave has achieved the ideal points of size, function and build quality accuracy.

The Douk Douk gets its name from the creepy Melanesian spirit depicted on the handle. Most notoriously, it was used by murderers and terrorists during the Algerian FLN revolt in the 50s and 60s.

Sharp shaving is something that comes with SOG knives, but shaving the ounces while preserving cutting-edge design features is a trick worth mentioning. Nearly a third lighter than the original Terminus XR, the new XR LTE loses weight with carbon fiber and G10 components.

Morakniv's new Eldris LightDuty knife has a 2.2 inch stubby blade above its piece of metal length. The 12C27 stainless mid range steel blade is built with a Scandi grind and has a textured grip handle that can withstand pressure.

Gerber goes all-American with their new knife that features a 2.95-inch blade and total length of 7.17 inches that weighs only 2.2 ounces.
