Welcome Szarka!

We just did this last week. This is what is posted in that thread:

There are four major publications in the USA.

Blade magazine, sort of an all purpose magazine. Probably the most popular of the bunch:

Knives Illustrated, a little more sophisticated than Blade. Do a web search, a number of magazine retailers are providing cut rate subscriptions: http://fs2.freeshop.com/pg004289.htm

http://www.knivesillustrated.com/

Knife World, a newspaper format (black and white) magazine. Covers customs and antique knives and knife history. Free 90 day subscription available over the web

http://www.knifeworld.com/

And Tactical Knives. Not my favorite, but it is for a lot of folks.

Happy reading!

You may find that it is better to see what is in the issue before buying. Thats what I have been doing. Sometimes I bought blade, sometimes Tactical Knives and sometimes Knives Illustrated. Ever since Steven Dick left Knives Illustrated it hasn't been a sgood IMO, so I haven't bought another issue yet. Lately Tactical Knives has been greatm with lots of articles on practical users, both for "tactical" needs and chores around the house.

If I had to pick one I'd pick Tactical Knives, as you get regular columns on sharpening, steel and the Jeff Randall column (Jeff posts here a lot, he seems to know a thing or two about wilderness survival and appropriate blades for the tasks!)

Steven Dick is supposedly putting together a new magazine, which I can't wait for.

Just for the record, I was never on the Knives Illustrated masthead and I'm not putting together a new magazine. I think you mean Bud Lang.
Glad you like TK. We work hard at putting out a top of the line magazine.

Hi Szarka,
Welcome to the forums. I agree with the others that Tactical Knives is the best of the lot right now. If you're interested in any old issues, check out my post on the Trading Post. I see you're from the Bronx, man, do I miss it!

Crayola, stop breathing that titanium dust, Steve Dick has never been at Knives Illustrated, that was Bud Lang.
