How about "Most Likely to Rip Right Through Your Pants and Hit the Ground with A Great Big Thud" going to the Buck Strider. Is that thing a brick or what ?

I didn't spend a lot of time looking at the production stuff, but I definitely would have given Barnaby (Delta Z) the Best Buy.

The Buck Strider might be a big heavy knife but it was the best selling knife I ever carried.

I sold every one I had in the first order within two weeks, found some more and sold them all within the next three weeks, 20 in all, and, at full retail, I actually made some pretty good money on them.

I was going to keep one for my own collection but it sold too. Sometimes, things just go right.

I would have to vote the MOD Dieter for best knife for maritime applications. If you lose your anchor, just tie a line around and heave it over the side

That thing should come with casters at one end so it can be wheeled around like a suitcase! I have to laugh about their revolutionary handle gripping material,skateboard tape. Sorry to rant, but this knife is a platypus to me and I still can't believe it won an award!
That is just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I'm sure the Lightfoot collaboration is an absolute splendor to behold, but is it fair that it won an award for what it did and it's not even available to the general populous yet? Who votes for these awards anyway? I guarandamntee you they don't spend as much money on and time using knives as I and some others around here do.

GEEZ!
Why not vote a Frost Knife for "American Made Knife of the Year"?
I hear that "Badger Bowie" is one baaad Mutha!
(Hush yo mouth!)

Man, wish I hadn't come into this thread.

What next?
You gonna tell me there is no Easter Bunny or Santa Claus?

After having seen the new Chris Reeve 2000 Sebenza wood I think that would have gotten my vote for knife of the year.
