Spyderco Barong: Deadly Leaf
This video review focuses on the Spyderco Barong, a lightweight tactical or EDC knife with a 4-inch VG-10 stainless steel leaf-shaped blade. The reviewer highlights its speed, ergonomic handle, and suitability for utility and defensive roles. Comparisons are made to the Benchmade Dejavoo Model 740, with the Barong praised for its execution and unique heritage. The review notes the knife's Scotchbrite finish, sage G10 handle scales, and reversible tip-up pocket clip. Downsides mentioned include the lack of blade spine jimping, limited in-handle retention, a potentially weak tip, and a higher price point. Despite these, the reviewer finds the Spyderco Barong to be a highly advisable backup or deployment blade, a fun collector's item, and rates it a 9 out of 10 on the Nutnfancy Likeability Scale.
