Knife Buyer’s Guide Infographic, Part 2

This is the second in a series of knife infographics that will give you the knowledge you need when you’re buying a knife.

Blade Shapes

Welcome to part two of Blade HQ’s knife infographic series! (If you missed part 1 on knife anatomy, check it out!) While this infographic doesn’t include every blade shape ever made, we tried to at least cover the blade shapes you’re most likely to see. We hope you enjoy it!

Coming up Next

We are planning to focus on different grinds, locking mechanisms, and edge styles for part three of this series. We are also hoping to include different steel types in part three, but it may be added on separately—I know I don’t need to tell you how big of a task researching steels will be. If there’s anything else you think would be good to add on to this series, let us know and we’ll see what we can do.
Finally, I just wanted to give a shout out to our graphic designer, Brock—this infographic series was his idea, and he did all the design work for everything you’ve seen and will see in this series. If you like his work, feel free to leave a comment to let him know because it’s always good to hear when your work is appreciated.
Have an awesome weekend!
