I only share two posts from our primary (and only print) competitor. This one, and the Blade Show awards from Atlanta. It is their show, and this is their Hall of Fame. But the information is of interest to our readers, and the inductees are deserving of recognition…
A notable assortment of those who for many years enhanced or continue to enhance the overall improvement of the knife industry highlights the 2026 class of inductees into the BLADE Magazine Cutlery Hall of Fame®.
The new honorees include three living and four deceased members. Among the former are CRKT co-founder Rod Bremer and Anne Reeve, owner/president of Chris Reeve Knives, on the factory side, and American Bladesmith Society master smith Larry Fuegen from the custom realm.
The posthumous inductees are bladesmith/writer Ed Fowler, custom knife purveyor Nate Posner, knifemaker/knifemaking supplier Bob Engnath and ABS master smith Tim Hancock.
