That’s right; we have even more knives to show you. And this isn’t even all of it. All of us over here at Blade HQ have been working tirelessly to get all of this SHOT Show content up for you, and it’s going to be pretty busy over here for the next week or so, too. This will be my last SHOT post this time around, but be sure to check out our YouTube channel, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media accounts for more SHOT content.
Here are more blades for you to take a look at—this list doesn’t cover every knife from every manufacturer, but it does cover quite a lot. Below you’ll find 2014 stuff from ESEE, Brous Blades, Boker, SOG, Buck, Emerson, DPx Gear, Ka-Bar, and Protech (listed in no particular order).

They utilize the Brous Blades proprietary ball bearing pivot system, which gives the knives smooth, solid action. Something unique about these Brous knives is that they come in a variety of colors—there’s even a pink handle in the mix. All the blades on the different models have D2 steel and a hollow grind, but there is one that features an acid-washed blade, and one other that has a black Cerakote finish.
Here are the other colors and finishes available:
