What a week that was… SHOT Show 2023 has wrapped, and we finally got a minute to stop and think about just what were the best new knives to grace the show floor. We’ll talk through all the makers we visited, debuting EDC folders, camping fixed blades and more, then at the end crown the best in show.

Give us some prices with these awesome knives!!
Microtech MSI, without a doubt.
The only Microtech I've ever really been smitten with.
Just want to thank you for all your hard work; that's you David; Thomas; Seth and all at KnifeCenter. It was very informative and exciting to see all those new shiny things !! Excellent. 🤗😊❤️✌️🖖🤘👋
I digg almost all the newbies but that z28 is kool, it matches my 70' z28 same shade of blue and everything 🤩
you guys just ROCK .. it's that simple. well done y'all.
I really wish CRKT would've went with CPM-154 rather than 154CM on the LCBK… That would've justified the price. As of now, I'm not so sure.
Like the Laconico Sokoco. I’m a Laconico fan but not a fan of his CNC clips. I like the clip on this design. I’m ordering one up! Or, the CJRB Button Lock, or both!
El pionero is my favorite. Can't wait to get my hands on one.
My big choices were:
Artisan Cutlery's FF Prototype & Satyr,
Bestech Heidi Blacksmith #2 & Icarus,
Buck Alpha & Saunter Slipjoint,
Boker Pocket Bowie & Green Kwaiken Mini,
Case Westline,
Civivi Airframe & Sokoke,
ESEE US-Made Libertariat,
Microtech MSI,
MKM TPF,
Ontario RAT 1 S35VN & CF100,
SOG One-Zero,
Viper Vale with SureTouch
Cool stuff. Thanks!
Probably been suggested, but I would call the qsp the puffin, unless they already have one.
Thanks for all you and the KC crew do!!!
I say it again. But BM "ditched" the 154CM steel on that mini barrage years and years ago. There was and still is G10 version of the Barrage with s30V steel. I have it in my hand right now. It is no upgrading on the steel material on the barrage. Just the with handle material and price, of course.
No Mayhem from Cold Steel!?!?
the green Apple Casse Knife is not on your website ? How to order it? Thanks
Thanks, Mr. Andersen and Thomas. FIXED BLADES: Condor Terachete. Runners Up – Ontario SPL Pack Knife and the Condor Mountaineer Trail Intent. FOLDERS: Bestech Mothus and Boker Urban Barlows are just stunning, if money is no object. But it is, so the Ontario Red RAT-1.
No love for Kershaw? Ha. The WE blade reminds me of the Kershaw Shuffle.
It's Really Great to see CRKT manufacturing some knives in The USA !!!
Time to start moisturizing those hands.
When does the MKM eclipse release?
Great info but for Gods sake, please get a new hand model. Those fingers need some serious help!!!
David the terrachete looks very similar to LT Wright's machete imo
Do we know when the Microtech Standard Issue will be released?
The riverwolf is an awesome knife that rocks multi-row bearings . Im definitely gonna get a micarta version
Thank you very much for all these interesting videos and your hard work. And now i love Spartan Blades, at first Pocket Knife and Fork. 😀 Herzliche Grüße und beste Wünsche
Great summary, excited about several ones. I forgot if QSP names are just birds and snakes or if they're allowed to be other animals. The tanto could maybe be the Peregrine
Your link for 2023 shot show coverage is actually a list of 2022 videos.
Hey David, I just saw the 117 pro on the knife center website for $159. Is this for real? If so I'm about to order it….
Quick question, what ever happened to the Spartan/ Ka-bar colab Khukuri they introduced at last year's Shot-Show ( or maybe it was Blade-Show, either way )??? Did it ever drop or did they drop it from production, or did I just miss it?
Thanks DCA & crew
I didn't see the Kershaw launch 15 covered here…..that's very promising knife for 2023…. definitely getting one soon
Lotion! Lotion David C Anderson! These knives needs tlc from lotioned hands sir.
That new case is my favorite modern knife they have done by far. Looks freaking awesome. Never really got excited about case before.
man that microtech looks awesome
Thanks for the coverage of shot show man u were awesome david
My favorite part is watching DCA create genuine relationships with the creators and sales people.
Who will be at Texas Blade Show in March??
Kinda hard to believe y'all only showed one Spyderco, but I love plenty on this video. Especially from Tops
Why do I have the feeling David C Anderson and Thomas maybe had a little too much fun 🥃🍸🍾🥂🍷🍻at Shot Show🤷😉😂.
What multi tool do you recommend for gardening
Great stuff!
Always glad to see those slimmer edc fixed blades!
You are doing a great job 👍
Just wanted to say thanks for the coverage. Best wishes from across the pond 🙏
Am I crazy or did you leave out Kershaw/ZT for some reason???
That Microtech will be mine! Watching for them to hit the shelves….Nice blade! Thanks for showing us!
My CONDOR is the dullest knife in my house and i own butter knives!
Appreciate all you guys do for your customers. Thanks DCA, thanks Knifecenter! 🤙🏼
Thomas is very knowledgeable. But needs to go. He doesn't have what it takes to sell knives on video. Persistent monotone. Always seems exhausted. i've never made it through an entire presentation without falling asleep. All of the saturation with EDC's makes it even more monotone. Blah !
