This is interesting seems pretty accurate. I got two so far on that list.

 

[G. Scott H.]

Out of that list, the only one I have is the CRKT Snap Lock, though it's an original model, not the new reissue.

 

[Wallace Mutt]

Wow the Buck 110 auto is more popular than I thought. I'll have to get one smuggled into Canada.

 

[Twindog]

Hard to believe that the Olamic Wayfarer 247 is the 8th bestselling knife.

That is pretty striking. Out of the list I only have the Para3 (S110v).

Really would've expected to see the zt 0450, benchmade 940, pm2 ect on here.

This means nothing. Taken from one dealer. Horrible way to present data. Meant as click bait. Looks like it worked.

Only own the Steel Will Cutjack (in G10 and M390) and Mora Companion. The list seems reasonable.

What dealer provided the information? I assume it was Knifecenter since they were mentioned.

I think it's just a list of their bestselling knives that were released specifically in 2017.

 

[sharp_edge]

Best selling in terms of what? Any hard data to back it up? How the data were collected? Was there any sampling involved? If so, how representative was the sample?

 

[Lapedog]

How can the Spyderco Lil Nilakka make the list? I thought very few were produced.

I am shocked the best selling knife isn't some Walmart Gerber like the Paraframe.

Explians a lot.

Like I said above. One boutique knife dealer's sales do not a best selling 2017 knives list make.

 

[ridnovir]

out of 25 I only have the Mora the rest are not even on my radar (they are probably popular with mall ninjas)

Exactly. None of those is even going to come close to whatever WalMart is selling or Vic Classics, etc in terms of sales.

Good point. Walmart sells a lot of stuff, knives included although I seldom look at them there. I can recall two knives I purchased at WM; Spyderco Native and a Gerber Gator folder years ago. But I'm not most people.

 

[hhmoore]

I own two from that list... but only one was purchased this year (and it's not staying here).

 

[onojoe]

That's what I thought until I saw the Mora Companion on the list

 

[GB940Rookie]

I have none of those. I also don't listen to top 40 hits much either.
