This video showcases custom and collaboration knives, focusing on Brad Zinker's designs and their more affordable Boker Plus counterparts. The reviewer expresses excitement for these lightweight blades, highlighting their impressive blade-to-handle ratios, excellent grinds, unique ventilated titanium handles, and well-designed clips. While acknowledging the use of VG10 steel, the reviewer expresses a preference for S30/35V, noting that Boker collaborations sometimes feature less desirable steels like 440C. Both the FR and Urban Trapper models are mentioned, available in various blade shapes and some with G10 scales. The reviewer highly recommends all tested models.
This YouTube video by Nutnfancy reviews the Vtech Titan X2, highlighting it as a study in EDC excellence. The reviewer praises its minimalist pillar construction, which is easy to clean and promotes flow-through design. The loop-over pocket clip is commended for its deep-carry capabilities, despite limitations in clip positionability and tip-down carry. The sharp jimping on the 440C blade is noted for enhancing thumb grip during deployment, which is described as flawless despite occluded thumbstuds. The knife features anodized aluminum handle slabs with milled checkering and was manufactured in Taiwan, a point made to illustrate the quality of overseas production. Weighing 2.8 oz and initially priced at $36, the Titan X2 is presented as a compact, light, and fast EDC knife with good value. The reviewer assigns it a high likability score of 8.5 out of 10, suggesting a potential for future iterations.
This video provides a detailed review of the Benchmade Mini-Presidio Ultra 527 knife, highlighting its design features and performance. The reviewer praises the Noryl GTX handle for its excellent traction and ergonomic potential, the Pardue drop point 440C blade for its sharp slicing capabilities and good belly, and the superb Axis Lock for its strength and speed. Key aspects discussed include the knife's ambidextrous design due to the reversible pocket clip and Axis Lock, its overall portability despite a slightly higher weight than some competitors, and the precision machining that contributes to its smooth deployment. The reviewer also notes the Zytel backspacer and milled stainless steel liners. The US Shooting Team blue version is mentioned as a favorite. The video concludes by comparing it to other Benchmade models like the Mini Griptilian and Mini Barrage, ultimately favoring the Mini Presidio for its slicing performance and enduring design from Mel Pardue. The reviewer gives it an 8 out of 10 on the Nutnfancy Likability Scale.
This video provides a preliminary review of the SigTac Rangemaster knife. The reviewer highlights its surprisingly good quality for its price point of around $100. Key features mentioned include an "AK47-type" 3.5-inch clip blade made of N690 Cobalt Vanadium steel, an overall length of 8 inches, a tight lockup, and a comfortable handle. The N690 steel is noted as Austrian-made stainless steel comparable to 440C. Deployment speed is described as good. Downsides include a non-reversible pivot-mounted carry clip and a skeletonized handle that can accumulate debris. The reviewer considers it a reasonable buy and a nice addition to a tactical collection. Thanks are given to Skaggs Police Supply for providing the knife and location.
