The best knives in the world

About two million years ago, one very smart Homo habilis (“handy man”) decided that it was time to give up cutting up prey by hand and invented a knife. Since then, humanity has come a long way of evolution. In recent decades, one can observe that knives have acquired a certain sacred meaning. They are made from a variety of materials, encrusted with precious stones, they come up with different purposes, they are collected, and fabulous sums are spent on purchases. In this article we want to tell you about the best knives in the world that are beyond competition.

The best knives in the world

Of course, it’s impossible to say for sure which knife is the coolest, because they differ in many factors. For example, it may be the sharpest product on the entire planet Earth, but it is not very attractive in appearance. Therefore, the rating of knives should be considered from the point of view of certain features.

The sharpest

Busse Battle Mistress

A massive weapon, distinguished by its weight - as much as 900 grams. It has a very comfortable handle and the sharpest blade in the whole wide world. The model is classified as a hunting type. One interesting detail that sets this knife (and all other Busse knives) apart from the rest is the grinding of the blade, the so-called asymmetrical edge. Basically, the right side is convex and polished and the left side is flat.

Loveless Drop Point

The advantage is that even if you use it for several years, the blade will remain very sharp thanks to the very durable steel. The knife itself is small. The blade size is 10 cm. It has a stylish design that matches or even surpasses models that cost many times more.

Diamond Blade Goddard Traditional Hunter

This is a hunting weapon that began to be manufactured relatively recently. However, its sharp blade immediately attracted the attention of lovers of piercing and cutting objects. The knife is forged using a special technology that involves placing steel under high pressure and high temperature, and the result is a blade that is harder, sharper and stronger than all others. By the way, the product turned out to be so sharp that the sheath had to be altered so that the blade would not cut it.

The most dangerous

BC-41

An army weapon that combines both a knife and brass knuckles. The combination product was used by British commandos during World War II during close combat and ambushes. Features a mirror polished blade with a false top edge. The handle is a pair of brass knuckles attached to the blade.

SOG Seel

High performance product for the SEAL product family. This knife is still supplied to some elite armed forces. Features include a very thick steel billet, black TiNi coating, a long ergonomic handle with deeper finger grooves, and a sleek blade shape with a long cutting edge.

Fairbairn-Sukes Fighting Knife

The total length is 31 cm, the blade is 18 cm. Due to its shape, which is more reminiscent of a dagger, the Fairbairn-Sуkes Fighting Knife is characterized by a high penetrating effect, but it is extremely inconvenient to use in everyday conditions.The product is of interest to many collectors, since it is quite difficult to obtain.

Fixation Bowie from SOG

The smooth placement between the blade and the crossguard, the round checkered handles, the blade grooves, the thumb grooves, the wrenches, and the cutouts in the crossguard all indicate that this weapon is significantly different in quality from many of its competitors. The product is very proportional and balanced.
