This video review by Nutnfancy examines the Bark River STS (Special Tactical Series) knife line, focusing on the STS-4, STS-5, and STS-8 models. The review highlights the US-made quality and the use of thick 154CM steel, a rarity in fixed blades. The STS-8 is tested for mountain survival and big woods performance, while the STS-5 is discussed as a military-inspired 'killing blade' with excellent penetration. The STS-4 is considered a potential tough EDC option. Key features like the convex ground edge, Kydex and leather sheaths, and micarta handle ergonomics (requiring sanding) are detailed. The value is deemed moderate due to the premium steel and overall cost exceeding $220. Despite some minor damage to the STS-8, durability is expected to be flawless, reflecting Bark River's signature quality.
The Microtech SOCOM Elite is a high-end tactical folder praised for its robust build, excellent ergonomics, and fast deployment.

Despite a higher price point, it offers significant 'cool factor' and functional performance compared to competitors.
Ernest Emerson discusses his design philosophy at SHOT Show 2012, emphasizing practicality and combat effectiveness.

Emerson highlights specific models like the CQC-8, Commander, and Persian, linking their designs to real-world combat applications and field maintenance.
The Benchmade 950 Rift is a robust EDC folding knife featuring 154CM steel and a reverse tanto blade. While slightly large for some EDC preferences, its full flat grind and strong tip offer versatility. The Axis lock ensures fast deployment and solid lockup, though modifications like milling liners can reduce weight. Handle ergonomics can be improved with minor sanding.
The Benchmade 556 Mini-Griptilian is a highly regarded EDC knife, praised for its reliable AXIS lock and durable FRN handle. While older models used 440C steel, newer versions feature superior 154CM, offering excellent edge retention. A Cabela's exclusive with D2 steel is noted for its brittleness but exceptional sharpness. Its 2.9-inch blade and 2.6 oz weight make it a practical, pocket-friendly choice.
The Emerson CQC-8 is highlighted as a favorite tactical folder, primarily for emergency defense, though its 5.2 oz weight exceeds typical EDC preferences. It features a nearly 4-inch blade with a versatile sweep and belly, suitable for tactical slashes and thrusts. While priced at $175 MSRP, its rapid 'Wave' deployment, durable 154CM steel, and grippy G10 handle offer significant utility.
The CRKT M16 EDC Compact knife is a lightweight, compact option with a 154CM steel blade and aluminum handle. While praised for its portability and safety features like LAWKS, its spear point design is noted as less ideal for general EDC tasks due to a lack of blade sweep. The skeletonized handle, though weight-reducing, can collect debris.
