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 2009 review by Nutnfancy analyzes the Cold Steel Lawman, a medium-sized tactical folding knife. The video discusses its suitability for law enforcement (LE) "Point of Use" (POU) considerations, balancing strength and defensive reach against portability and utility. The reviewer highlights its robust Tri-Ad locking mechanism, textured G10 scales for grip, and a 3.5-inch AUS8A drop-point blade. Downsides mentioned include slower deployment, a broad folded profile, limited defensive reach for its weight, and a substantial 5.6 oz carry weight. However, positive aspects like its reasonable price (around $60), strong build, good ergonomics, non-reflective blade finish, lanyard hole, and spine jimping are noted. The reviewer suggests it's a solid option for those prioritizing heavy-duty strength and durability for everyday carry (EDC) in an LE role, offering a balance between different LE knife philosophies.
