The reviewer highlights its high quality and compares it to other contenders in the sub-two-ounce category, noting that the Dragonfly holds its own, particularly in terms of weight.

The review offers details on the knife and provides likability ratings and purchase links to Blade HQ and Cutlery Shoppe. It's presented as a highly recommended EDC option.

This YouTube video by Nutnfancy reviews the Vtech Titan X2, highlighting it as a study in EDC excellence. The reviewer praises its minimalist pillar construction, which is easy to clean and promotes flow-through design. The loop-over pocket clip is commended for its deep-carry capabilities, despite limitations in clip positionability and tip-down carry. The sharp jimping on the 440C blade is noted for enhancing thumb grip during deployment, which is described as flawless despite occluded thumbstuds. The knife features anodized aluminum handle slabs with milled checkering and was manufactured in Taiwan, a point made to illustrate the quality of overseas production. Weighing 2.8 oz and initially priced at $36, the Titan X2 is presented as a compact, light, and fast EDC knife with good value. The reviewer assigns it a high likability score of 8.5 out of 10, suggesting a potential for future iterations.

This video reviews the SOG Field Pup fixed blade knife, highlighting its excellent ergonomics, light weight, and comfort in hand. Despite its attractive price point and good out-of-the-box sharpness, the reviewer expresses disappointment with the 7Cr17Mov steel used in current production, preferring the older AUS8 steel and suggesting an upgrade to 8Cr13Mov for better edge retention. The knife is recommended for light tactical, camp, food prep, fishing, and general utility use. The review also covers the quality of the included leather sheath and details a MOLLE sheath option available with the Field Pup 2.

This video provides an update and review of the SOG Aegis tactical folding knife, specifically focusing on the satin-finished model. The reviewer notes that while it's a great knife overall, the jimping on this particular version is less aggressive due to the polishing process compared to black TiNi coated blades. Suggestions are made for potential modification using sandpaper to improve the grip and "bite" of the jimping, which the reviewer feels SOG should address in future production.

This video addresses a common complaint about the Benchmade Pika II knife: the inadequate grip on its spine jimping. The creator demonstrates a simple modification using a Dremel tool with a thin cut-off wheel and 400-grit sandpaper on a wood block to enhance the jimping. This seemingly small fix significantly improves the knife's utility, making it a much more useful tool according to the reviewer.

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.

This video reviews the Spyderco Endura 4 knife, focusing on its perceived downsides compared to previous generations. The reviewer notes the addition of steel liners, making the knife heavier, and expresses dissatisfaction with the lockup, describing it as not rock solid. Despite these criticisms, the video highlights positive aspects such as the blade shape, jimping, VG10 steel, clip, and overall value.

This video provides a detailed review of the SOG Tac Auto knife, highlighting its features such as its lightweight design (3.8 oz), AUS8 blade, and tactical functionality.

Downsides mentioned include a slick handle and a small deployment button. The review also includes brief comparisons to more expensive automatic knives like the MicroTech UDT (with CPM-S30V blade steel), BenchMade Stryker, and Pro Tec Tactical Response 3, showcasing its competitive standing in the market.
