Blade (1-year)

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...

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.

Read Best Reviews of Blade (1-year) Here

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.
