This video features a head-to-head comparison of EDC folding knives. The host, along with knife experts Randy "Rawhide" Wurst and Imri Morgenstern, evaluates several knives sent by manufacturers. The test focuses on practical use and performance, with experts changing their initial opinions after extended testing. The video highlights that personal preference and thorough testing are crucial when selecting a knife, emphasizing that marketing doesn't always reflect real-world performance. Several specific knife models from brands like Kershaw, Off-Grid, Cold Steel, Benchmade, Opinel, Buck, and Smith & Wesson are discussed and linked.
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.
