Blade West 2026 | 250+ Knives & the Makers Behind Them

My brother Caleb and I head to Salt Lake City for two days at Blade Show West 2026! We meet the people behind the brands and explore custom knives, new releases, prototypes, budget folders, fixed blades, and some seriously creative EDC gear. Along the way, we check what makers are carrying, get to know them beyond their knives, and finish with our Blade Show haul.
