With all this talk of brackets, comparisons, and overall champions, we thought it would be fun to add knives to the madness! We’ve created seven brackets: handle materials, steels, opening mechanisms, lock types, blade shapes, blade finishes, and knife types. Sales data determined contestants, but you get to choose the winners!
The games will take place on our Instagram stories, and ONLY on our Instagram stories. starting on March 11th! Vote for your favorites, and the winners will advance! Check back here to see up-to-date bracket standings.
At the end of the tournament, we will select multiple knives that include the winning features of each bracket and give them to a handful of lucky winners! To enter the giveaway, click here or the image below!
