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 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.

This video provides an in-depth review of the CRKT Shenanigan folding knife, focusing on its "Hawaiian Tactical" aluminum variant. The reviewer highlights its striking appearance, comparing it to more expensive titanium tactical folders. Key features discussed include the 3.25" AUS8 clip blade with a black titanium nitride coating, aggressive swedge, milled jimping on 6061 T6 aluminum handles for improved traction, and comfortable rubber inserts for excellent ergonomics. The review also touches on practical aspects like pocket extraction due to the rubber inserts, the Ken Onion designed flared clip limiting carry options (tip-down only, not ideal for lefties), and the efficient strip lock mechanism.

This video review focuses on the Gerber Harsey Air Ranger and Air Ranger II folding knives, highlighting their lightweight design and rapid blade deployment.

Potential downsides mentioned include the AUS-8A steel's tendency to be soft, squared handle shoulders, a non-reversible tip-down carry clip, and a blade thickness that might require reprofiling for optimal slicing.
