The world of knives is ever evolving, and 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for
collectors, enthusiasts, and professionals alike. From innovative materials to ergonomic
designs, here are the top trends in knives to watch this year.

1. Sustainable Materials

Sustainability continues to be a major focus across industries, and knives are no exception. In 2025, expect to see an increased use of eco-friendly materials such as recycled steel and responsibly sourced materials for handles. Composite materials made from renewable sources are also gaining traction, offering a perfect balance between durability and environmental responsibility.

2. Simplicity is the New Smart

Knife design in 2025 is focusing on simplicity and practicality. This year, the spotlight is on knives made with durable materials that require minimal upkeep, making them ideal for everyday use. Designs prioritize straightforward functionality—like secure grips and easy-to-maintain blades—without unnecessary frills. These knives are perfect for users who value reliability and ease of use, whether they’re in the kitchen, on the trail, or at work.

3. Customization and Personalization

Knife enthusiasts are looking for tools that reflect their personality and preferences. Custom engraving, bespoke designs, and exotic materials are becoming a hallmark of premium knives. At Arno Bernard Knives, unique handle materials such as warthog tusks, mammoth molars, and stabilized giraffe bone are elevating knife designs to an art form. These materials not only add a distinct character to each knife but also celebrate the beauty of nature in every piece.

4. Ultra-Lightweight Designs

Lightweight materials like carbon fiber and titanium are leading the way in 2025. These
materials reduce the overall weight of the knife without compromising on strength, making them ideal for everyday carry (EDC) enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers who value portability.

5. Compact and Multifunctional Tools

As minimalism continues to influence product design, compact folding knives are becoming increasingly popular. These knives are lightweight, durable, and easy to carry, making them ideal for everyday use and outdoor adventures.

6. Bold and Unique Aesthetics

Knife design is embracing bold colors, unique patterns, and unconventional shapes. From Damascus steel with vibrant etching to handles featuring iridescent finishes, 2025 knives are designed to stand out as much as they perform.

7. Enhanced Safety Features

Safety remains a top priority, and new mechanisms are being introduced to ensure secure use and storage. Innovations like auto-locking sheaths, anti-slip grips, and fail-safe folding mechanisms are redefining user confidence.

8. Compact Survival Knives

For outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers, Arno Bernard’s compact folding knives are a
standout choice. Crafted with rugged durability and precision, these knives often feature
unique handles made from materials like stabilized giraffe bone or warthog tusk. Designed to handle tough environments, they combine practicality with a touch of luxury, making them essential tools for any expedition.
