This video reviews the Buck Paradigm 337 folding knife, highlighting its attractive blue/black G10 handles and unique bolster-activated assisted opening mechanism. While acknowledging its aesthetic appeal, quality US manufacture, and serious cutting ability with S30V steel, the reviewer notes its lack of traction and multi-step deployment make it less ideal for tactical use or high-stress situations. The knife's weight due to heavy bolsters is also mentioned as a drawback for EDC. The Paradigm is presented as a collectible or utility carry blade with excellent lockup and blade centering, and the reviewer discusses its performance in cutting and stabbing tests, along with ease of re-sharpening. The "Pro" model's CPM S30V steel is contrasted with the "Avid" model's Sandvik steel.
This video review focuses on the Kershaw Volt 2 3650 folding knife, highlighting its suitability as an "Energized EDC" (Everyday Carry) knife. The reviewer praises its comfortable ergonomics, achieved through jimping and improved handle scales, and its ideal size for daily utility. The knife features 8Cr13Mov steel, noted for its ability to achieve and maintain sharpness, though it may require initial work. Rust resistance is considered adequate despite a blasted finish. The assisted opening mechanism is described as fast with tight lockup. The reviewer also discusses the clip's versatility and the Zytel scales' comfort and aesthetic. While acknowledging its extreme value (around $20), it's compared unfavorably in terms of coolness and collectibility to the original RJ Marin/Kershaw Volt collaboration. Overall, the Volt 2 is presented as a highly practical and valuable folding knife.

The reviewer highlights its AUS-8 blade with a cryogenic heat treat, noting its excellent slicing capabilities and ease of sharpening. The assisted opening flipper is praised for its speed, and the knife's thin profile and lightweight design (2.4 oz) are emphasized for its suitability as an EDC item. While the aluminum handle scales offer good looks but limited traction, the lockup is deemed excellent. The reviewer also briefly mentions and shows the Lowe's plastic-handled version. Comparisons are made to the SOG Flash 1.
This video review focuses on the Kershaw "Oso Sweet" Model 1830 assisted opening knife, highlighting its value for money at $22. The reviewer praises its lightweight design (2.8 ounces), SpeedSafe® flipper opening, solid lockup, and attractive aesthetics. The innovative Zytel handle with a web-pattern mold is noted for its ergonomics and traction. While acknowledging the lack of jimping, the reviewer suggests it's not a major drawback for its intended EDC role. The polished, repositionable pocket clip and the well-shaped, flat-ground satin-finished AUS6A blade are also positive points. Despite AUS6A not being a favorite steel, its performance is deemed satisfactory for the price point, making the Oso Sweet a strong contender in the EDC knife market according to the Nutnfancy Likability Scale (9/10).

The blade is described as well-suited for utility tasks but potentially thick for slicing. The reviewer mentions comparisons to other knives and discusses the Mini Barrage's weight and price point, ultimately recommending it as a hard-use EDC choice.
This video review by Nutnfancy analyzes the SOG Trident folding knife, highlighting its fast assisted deployment, lightweight design, and large handle with good traction.

Minor criticisms include the lack of functional jimping and the superfluous cord-cutting slot. The reviewer suggests the safety lock might benefit from being secured. The video recommends the plain edge version and notes the adequate steel choice for the price point.

Positive aspects include a deep finger choil, thin aluminum scales, a 2.7-ounce weight, attractive design, and a robust clip. Downsides mentioned are the difficulty of sharpening due to blade shape, reduced slicing capability from blade thickness, and a higher price point compared to similar EDC knives. The reviewer also touches on the knife's collectibility. The video uses a lighthearted, humorous tone, including a note about potentially controversial 'gay' comments.
