This video demonstrates a high-speed inertial opening technique for folding pocket knives, focusing on self-defense applications. Expert Michael Janich explains the physics of inertia and how to utilize it for rapid blade deployment, especially under stress. The video covers common opening methods, the importance of pivot point and knife design, and the full draw stroke. It emphasizes the critical need for quick and reliable knife deployment in life-saving situations. A giveaway for a brand new gun is also promoted.
This video reviews the Lone Wolf Lobo, a knife that is deemed to be a "high cost novelty." The reviewer highlights its expensive price point relative to its utility, despite acknowledging its high quality and rapid automatic blade deployment. Significant downsides are pointed out, including forced tip-down carry, a "funky" recurved blade, a suboptimal pocket clip and thumb hole for manual deployment, and a substantial weight. The reviewer notes that many other manual tactical and EDC folders offer superior performance at a lower cost, citing the Benchmade 940 as an example. While praising the knife's fit and finish and jimping, the reviewer concludes that the Lobo's double-action capability and unique scale release mechanism will only appeal to a select few, and is not personally impressed.
This video reviews the Blade-Tech Mouse Lite, highlighting its positive attributes such as a good blade shape, excellent jimping, comfortable ergonomics, decent steel, and light weight. However, the reviewer notes significant drawbacks including a very slow deployment mechanism and a less-than-perfect lockup, though the deployment issue might be rectifiable with polishing. Despite these flaws, the reviewer suggests the knife could still be a viable option for those who can tolerate a sub-2-inch blade, especially considering its $25 price point, stout and controllable blade, full flat grind, and available color options.
