Someone asked about one of the years a few months ago and I started doing a little looking.

Did a bit of google'ing and found the last couple of years.
Finally had to go to the Blade DVD set and look thru past issues to find some of the info.

What really surprised me was that there was almost nothing on Blades site about them.

Thanks for posting.
 
Thanks, great list!

I wonder what happened in 2002 for the MQ award. Did CRK slip up that year, or did Tiknives just put out something amazing for only one year?
 
That's fantastic, Thanks. So in order to save it will a person go to the internet to view it or will you have a downloadable file
 
I added it as a link to my "knife stuff" favorites. Is that the proper way to do it. Thanks
 
I added a link to the page converted to a pdf, and a non-stylized page link for printing near the bottom.

How many Blade Show Knife of the Year knives do you own?

Bumped this because it is an awesome list, thanks sflett and BikerTrash for the list, don't forget to click on BikerTrash's link to the pdf file it does make it easier to read.

If this could be updated it would make a great reference sticky in General.
