About this Year's Cover: We're showcasing several outstanding blades on the
cover of this year's annual. From left to right: The RKMP is a collaboration
between Shirogorov Knives and custom maker Charles Marlowe. This classy folder
won BLADE(R) Magazine's 2025 Knife Collaboration of the Year Award at the Atlanta
BLADE Show. Missourian Kyle Royer's beautiful hunter sports a ladder damascus
blade, sculpted ebony handle with texturing and damascene guard with 24k gold
inlay and gun bluing. BLADE Magazine Cutlery Hall of Fame(R) member Harvey Dean delivers
a stunning dagger, boasting an elaborate feather damascus blade and showcases
the Texan's first-time use of flush gold inlay set into mother of pearl on the
handle. Winning the 2025 Best Custom Handle Design is Pedro Fornari's chef
knife. The integral handle features fluted ebony inlay wrapped with silver wire
that plays beautifully off the modified Turkish-twist damascus blade and
handle. David Lespect of France designed a super-classy rendition of a locking
folder, dressing it up with a rich jig-bone handle. The custom AD20 XXX from
Demko Knives features a Vegas Forge lightning-pattern damascus blade and a
herringbone-textured handle.
