Nutnfancy reviews a limited edition, discontinued Kershaw Fixed Blade Skyline, a fixed-blade variant of the popular Kershaw 1760 Skyline. Initially unimpressed with its value, the reviewer's opinion changes dramatically due to a significant price drop to $19 from Blade HQ. He highlights its lightweight design (2.8 oz knife only), stronger construction compared to the folding version (.013" vs .009" thickness), and use of Sandvik 14C28N steel with an excellent edge. The review covers the tractionable G10 slabs, full tang, lanyard hole, and the leather sheath, noting the lack of jimping as a minor ergonomic drawback. The video also discusses potential uses and assigns a high Likability Scale score of 9/10 at the sale price.

The reviewer notes its sharp tip and keen out-of-box edge, as well as the effective partially serrated version.

This video from Nutnfancy reviews the Kershaw Skyline, highlighting its strengths as an EDC (Everyday Carry) knife. The reviewer praises its lightweight design (2.4 oz), fast deployment due to bronze phosphor bushings, lack of steel liners, and a comfortable G10 handle. The knife features Sandvik 14C28N steel, a tight lockup, and a usable spear point blade shape. The 3 1/8" bead-blasted blade is noted for its surprising size given the knife's weight, offering good utility and slicing capability. While the absence of jimping is mentioned, it's deemed non-essential for its EDC purpose, especially with the deep finger choil. The reviewer concludes it's a high-value, well-made, and cool daily cutting tool, rating it 9.5 out of 10 on his likeability scale.
This video reviews the Cold Steel Mini Lawman folding knife, highlighting several significant design flaws. The reviewer criticizes the lockup's wiggle, the knife's chunkiness despite its light weight due to the Triad-Lock, the impractical low pocket clip placement causing a 1-inch protrusion, the abrasive G10 handle material shredding pockets, the lack of jimping, and the blade arriving dull. While acknowledging the ergonomic G10 handles, fast deployment, adequate steel, and utility blade shape, the reviewer concludes that the downsides outweigh the positives, suggesting several alternative EDC blades that offer better design and carry. The reviewer gives the knife a 5 out of 10 on their likeability scale.
