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.
