This video review by Nutnfancy analyzes the SOG Trident folding knife, highlighting its fast assisted deployment, lightweight design, and large handle with good traction. The reviewer praises the exceptional SOG deep-carry pocket clip, calling it an industry standard. Despite initial reservations about the handle-to-blade ratio, the knife is deemed an excellent tactical or larger EDC blade with a sharp 3.75" AUS8 blade suitable for utility and defensive roles. Minor criticisms include the lack of functional jimping and the superfluous cord-cutting slot. The reviewer suggests the safety lock might benefit from being secured. The video recommends the plain edge version and notes the adequate steel choice for the price point.
This video review by Nutnfancy analyzes the Benchmade Pika II knife, highlighting its perceived shortcomings despite a seemingly good on-paper specification and affordable price point (circa 2008). Key criticisms include an overly strong back spring leading to slow deployment, a dull out-of-the-box edge, ineffective spine jimping, blade wiggle, and a protruding lockback bar. The reviewer contrasts it unfavorably with the Byrd (Spyderco) Cara Cara, which offers faster deployment, solid lockup, and better jimping at a lower cost. Both knives are considered potential EDC or emergency tactical options, but the reviewer strongly prefers the Cara Cara.
