Knife World Publications
KNIFE WORLD was founded in 1975 as a classified-only monthly publication, sort of the cutlery equivalent of "Shotgun News." In 1977, the St. Louis - based owner sold the fledgling publication to Doug and Houston Price, and relocated it to the heart of "knife country" in Knoxville, Tennessee, immediately expanding the content to include informative articles, show coverage, industry news and the like.
Within a few years, KNIFE WORLD had begun to publish a few knife-related books, and then started stocking quality titles from other publishers. In time, KNIFE WORLD's book department became as integral a part of the business as the publication itself, making Knife World Publications the go-to source for information on all sort of knives and related cutlery items.
KNIFE WORLD continued to serve knife enthusiasts for a run of over 38 years, adding color to its pages in 2007 and evolving its diverse range of coverage with the times. In June of 2015, the business was purchased by longtime Editor Mark Zalesky, and a new era was begun.
With the November, 2015 issue, KNIFE WORLD was replaced by KNIFE Magazine, an oversized, glossy, full color magazine with content continuing the KNIFE WORLD tradition of diversity and the most knowledgeable writers in the knife business. Country Knives highly recommends KNIFE Magazine as "the only publication covering the World of Knives."
