✂️ Honorable Mentions – They Almost Made the Cut

These knives were serious contenders, but timing, availability, or price kept them just outside the Top 10:

🔹 Ruike D712, SRM Terrier, DreamTech – Solid designs, limited availability.

🔹 Kubey Yokai, Kubey Basilisk, Kubey Caiman – Strong budget performers.

🔹 Remette Bee, Remette Wild Species – Great value, tough competition.

🔹 Daggerr Dopey & Leperchaun, Critical Strike Zulu – Bold designs with niche appeal.

🔹 Kizer Drop Bear 2, Vosteed Marten, Vosteed Raccoon Bowie – Excellent knives that just missed the final ranking.

🔹 QSP Nebula, Civivi Guile, Sencut Squiggy – Unique carries worth a look.
