This video review focuses on the Spyderco Junior "Backpacker" knife, highlighting its lightweight design, broad 83mm VG-10 blade, and deep finger guard formed by the sculpted G10 handle. The reviewer praises its out-of-the-box sharpness, excellent traction from jimping, and the reliable compression lock. While acknowledging its value for backpacking and EDC, the reviewer notes the $125 price point is not outstanding. The knife is considered a premier backpacking blade and a potential Hall of Fame inductee, with minor complaints revolving solely around its cost.

Minor criticisms involve thicker handle and blade profiles impacting slicing ability compared to thinner alternatives, and a higher cost.

This video reviews the Glock Field Knife, highlighting its exceptional value for its price point ($25-$30). The knife, a descendant of a bayonet design, features a narrow spring steel blade well-suited for thrusting, digging, food prep, and light wood splitting, though it doesn't chop effectively due to its low mass. The reviewer notes the blade requires re-profiling for optimal sharpness but is tough and easy to sharpen once done. The knife's lightweight design (9.0 oz total) makes it ideal for backpacking. The sheath is praised for its durability, secure retention, and excellent belt clip. The Glock Field Knife is recommended as a reliable field companion, collector's item, or survival knife.
