HOW TO GET STARTED
If you have a story idea, contact BLADE with it. This can save
you a lot of time and effort if it is a story we have already done
or already have on file.
WHAT WE’RE INTERESTED IN
Pick up several different issues of BLADE on newsstands
(Books-A-Million and Borders book stores have them) and study them.
This should give you an idea of what we’re after. What we need are
stories that are brand new in scope and content. Knives being used
for unusual purposes, in adventure settings, etc., are always good.
New, state-of-the-art knife designs, steels and other knife
materials and how they are made are good. The knife collections of
celebrities are good. Stories on how to collect knives, what to
collect and why, etc., are good.
WHAT WE DON’T NEED
We assign profiles, show stories, hammer-in stories, etc. We
don’t need those. If you’ve seen the story on the Internet or in
another knife or knife/gun magazine, we don’t need it. We don’t do
stories on knives used for self-defense. Sorry, but that’s just not
our bag. There’s a place for it but that place is not in
BLADE.
