See Who Took Top Honors In Salt Lake City For The 2024 BLADE Show West Custom Knife Awards.

The 2024 BLADE Show West, held October 4-5, once again brought the knife community together at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City. Now in its third year in Utah, the show attracted custom makers, manufacturers, and collectors from across the U.S. and beyond.

One of the highlights was the Custom Knife Awards, where makers competed in nine categories. A panel of anonymous industry experts carefully judged each entry, evaluating factors like design, creativity, materials, utility, and craftsmanship. The competition was fierce, showcasing a wide range of impressive talent and innovation.
