This video features a review of the Emerson CQC-8 tactical folding knife. The presenter highlights its strengths as a defensive blade, noting its excellent hand protection, textured G10 handle, rapid deployment, and overall fit and finish. Specific positive aspects include its blade shape, 154CM steel, tight lockup, and a manageable 5.2 oz weight. A significant modification mentioned is the re-grinding of the chisel blade to a conventional V-edge by Razors Edge. Downsides are identified as the relatively high cost (around $175) and a preference for a higher pocket clip placement. The knife receives a perfect 'Nutnfancy Likeability Scale' score of 10 out of 10, making it highly recommended for users seeking a serious combat folder.
This video reviews the Cold Steel Roach Belly fixed blade knife, highlighting its featherweight design, excellent sharpness, and value for its ~$12 price point. The reviewer praises its performance as a defensive blade and EDC option, noting its light 3.5 oz weight with sheath, thin but adequate blade thickness, and useful jimping. While acknowledging a slick and short handle, and a non-QD sheath, the reviewer emphasizes the knife's overall high value and versatility, scoring it an 8 out of 10 on the Nutnfancy Likeability Scale. The video also provides a referral link to purchase the knife.
This video reviews the Cold Steel Voyager Medium, highlighting its potential as a great EDC (Everyday Carry) knife. The reviewer praises its size, utility, and emergency defensive capabilities, as well as its quality AUS8 steel (or VG-1 in newer models), solid lockup, comfortable handle, and sharp, hollow-ground blade. A significant portion of the review addresses a common complaint: the poorly designed pocket clip that can damage pockets due to aggressive checkering. The reviewer demonstrates simple modifications to the clip and the checkering to improve its usability. Despite a slightly high price for an FRN handle, the knife is considered a good buy, especially after the modifications, making it a near-perfect EDC option with a Nutnfancy Likeability Scale rating of 8.5 out of 10.
This video reviews the discontinued Cold Steel Peacekeeper II, a compact fixed-blade knife praised for its lightweight design, effectiveness, and affordability (around $30). The reviewer highlights its versatility for defensive and offensive use, noting its Kraton grip, sheath with clip, and leaf dagger blade. Different steel types are discussed, including 420 Sub Zero quench and Carbon V, with a mention of the last produced versions in 4116 Krupp stainless steel. Potential modifications like a 20º grind for improved slashing and thrusting are mentioned, along with a drawback of the short handle. It's recommended as a good budget option for a compact fixed blade for self-defense.
