My hands down favorite 2017 production knife is the #35. It checks alot of my boxes. Thanks for the chance Mike!

 

[Norcaldude]

The only knife I bought this year that I kept and that was made this year is this one, so it's the winner!

 

[Riverwarrior]

Thanks for such a great GAW, Mike. My favorite this year is the 2017 S&M EO Tear Drop Jack.

For me it’s the northwoods delta jack I just really love the satin bolsters and red burlap

I gotta go with the lambsfoot. Something about that old school feel.

Love at first sight

Far and away this years GEC 48 is my favourite this year.

I agree with this one! Lionsteel did a hangup job. I'm really digging their offerings!

EDIT: I found it. How are you liking it though? How's the W&T? Half stop?

Juan Travolta Glass on Instagram. Custom made to order. It actually will glow too.

 

[Chief]

Even though I bought custom slipjoints costing many times more, my clear winner.

That Pony Cut is really nice stuff. Good pick in background, too!

Thanks for the generous GAW, Mike!

This isn't an entry, since I'm sure there are many others that would appreciate that banana bone Churchill more than I would.

But I DO like to participate in GAWs even if I'm not officially entering. I'm going to nominate my Case yellow delrin pen knife. 2017 has been the year during which I've developed a strong preference for pen configurations over jack set-ups for 2-bladed knives; the Case pen "beating out" a Peanut in my affections was sort of a final confirmation. (It's also one of the few knives I have that I'm sure was produced in 2017; my Guardian Lambsfoot is another, and it's a fabulous knife, but came to me too late in the year for me to consider it "best of 2017".)
