KSF Kicks off Black Friday Spectacular with Steep Sales on Folders, Fixed Blades, & More

Sponsored by: KnivesShipFree

The Black Friday deals have kicked off over at KnivesShipFree. The shop has thrown out a set of early bird deals and has more planned to release all weekend, right on through Cyber Monday, Black Friday’s digital sibling. We’ll be updating this story later on as these newer deals come up, but here are some of the choicest KSF deals available right now.

ZT0308

The 0308 is a sequel to the ZT0300, one of the most famous folders the company ever made, one that defined the ZT knife archetype for many years: high-end materials, ambitious machining details, and an overbuilt, heavy duty design.

Zero Tolerance has since refined and expanded its output, with a more diverse portfolio in 2024 than ever before, but the 0308 is a tribute to those early days, itself expanded and refined by what the company has learned over the years – and as we speak, it’s more than $100 off the typical MSRP! If you need a workhorse folder for the new year, look no further.

Bark River Bravo 1

Speaking of workhorses, KSF is currently running a holiday discount on the Bark River Knives Bravo 1. This could be argued to be the flagship design in the fixed blade specialists’ teeming lineup; by any metric, it is an embodiment of rock-solid outdoors performance.

This batch of Bravo 1s are made from A2, a high performance tool steel that has been a longtime favorite at BRK. Getting a Bravo 1 in A2 is the equivalent of picking up the Buck 110 with 420HC, or the Delica in VG-10 – almost a right of passage for an enthusiast. Get yours at a lower price right now, and use it forever.

Bamba Forge Knives

If you’re looking for a custom, forged knife unlike anything else on the market, we’d point you towards Bamba Forge. These knives are made in Bamba, a village north of Kampala, Uganda. Thanks to a partnership between Tim Troyer and Ugandan professor Moses Tenywa, Bamba Forge was founded as a place of learning and employment for at-risk men in the village.

Each of these knives are made by hand by budding craftsmen, and each one is unique. Right now, there are pieces on sale for under $100 – and every penny goes back to supporting the Forge itself.

Limited Run S30V Wharncliffe Delica

If you haven’t tried the wharncliffe variant of Spyderco’s famous flagship, you’re definitely missing out. It originated as a drawing from a forum superfan, daydreaming about their ideal version of the enduring EDC classic – and now it has been a full-on production piece for several years, and has even received limited editions like this one. It comes with a custom scale color, and S30V steel – for less than $100. It may become a collectible someday, but regardless it is already a proven user.

American Tomahawk Model 1

Have enough knives to tide you over till next year? How about a tomahawk instead? American Tomahawk, a project co-founded by key RMJ Tactical personnel including Ryan Johnson himself, is all about doing justice to this particular tool.

The Model 1, discounted for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday madness, is a classic take on the tomahawk format by these historically conscious designers. Compact yet still robust, this is a tool that can become a trusted outdoors companion for many years to come.

Like we said, this is just the beginning of KSF’s Black Friday offerings. More deals will come on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Cyber Monday.
