What is a good knife magazine. I am going to subscribe to one but have no idea what to get, don't have them in Iceland, never seen one.

I like it when reviews on the products arent always positive because thats the nature of things. I like solid good articles, not to sponsored if you know what I mean.

But I cant be too picky about it so I need some reckomendations.

I was offered some mags ones on this site but I could never contact the gentleman back, sent e-mails but got no reply.
 
I'll second that. Blade magazine has lots of good information, reviews, lots of pictures. It's an excelent magazine and I would recomend it to anyone.
 
And wouldn't you know it.
You could start off by buying the entire year 2006 & 2007 in CD-ROM.
I think that might work out better for now.

After a year of looking at the three main knife mags out there, I decided to subscribe to BLADE. It's the best of all of them, IMO.

The only knife magazine I subscribe to is Knives Illustrated. Just works for me. I particularly enjoy J Bruce Voyles column on the back page.

I read them all and have for decades. By far the most encompassing and least biased is Knife World.
 
I would stay away from tactical knives , thay hardly ever give a bad review , evens on products that are a total pantfull !

I've had subscriptions to all three magazines. If you really want to learn about knives you can learn more here on bf. IMHO

Click to expand...

(edits mine) I agree - I've learned more from the forums here than I ever would anywhere else. It's more entertaining too. But it's nice to just sit on the patio with the new issue of (whatever knife mag here) and a beer (or single malt) and read. Some traditions never die . . .

Tactical Knives is informative, but way too "positive" for me.

thx - cpr
 
With all of the information available on the web, especially here, I don't really see a need to subscribe to knife magazines any longer....unless you need some reading fodder while you're on the stool.:D
 
Even though I just got a 3 yr sub to Blade, I prefer Knife World, and Backwoodsman's knife articles. I don't usually pick up Tactical Knives, but I've picked up the two recent ones. Never really cared for Knives Illustrated, bought two before when I had money burning a hole in my pocket and no knife magazines to read.
 
I was there for the first issue of Blade, have all the first year and love it but I read Knives Illustrated too. Go figure....
 
I get Blade and think Tactical Knives would also be a good pick! There is a lot to read in Blade! GOOD LUCK! Kevin :D
 
Ater reading this yesterday,I went and got a yrs. subscription to Blade mag.Thanks for the tips.
