Best Gear from Blade Show 2025 (According to You)

Blade Show’s over. The dust has settled. The hype is dying down. But that’s when the real processing starts—when we sift through the chaos, the hype, and the flood of new gear to figure out what actually stood out.

In this week’s episode of Deep Cuts, I break down your favorite finds from Blade Show 2025, highlight some gear I missed (and some I didn’t), and share my top picks from the weekend. We’ve also got another killer Community Carry, a question about modular multi-tools, and a fresh giveaway winner. Plus: What’s in my pockets post-Blade, and a few brands I think are worth watching right now.
