IWA OutdoorClassics is one of the largest tradeshows focused on knives and other sporting goods in the world. It’s held annually in Nuremberg, Germany and this year played host to 1,558 exhibitors and almost 47,000 visitors. Among those exhibitors were some of the finest knife makers in the world, who brought with them a handful of new knives. Here are the most notable blades from the show.

Even I, no knife enthusiast in the least, know about Böker from their razors (I'm an old-fashioned double edge guy). The quality is off the scale.

Piffle.

A list of EDC folding knives without a Chris Reeve Sebenza is like a watch list without Rolex.

I always end up with Spyderco for price/function and have never been let down.

I swap them as my EDC - but now use automatics because I've crushed fingers in motorcycle accidents.
