The Cold Steel Espada G10 series, particularly the XL model, is presented as a formidable 'pocket sword' with impressive reach and a robust Tri-Ad lock. While offering excellent value and defensive potential, potential users are cautioned about the legal implications of carrying such an intimidating blade. The review also covers practical aspects like handle ergonomics, a common modification for pocket carry, and the performance of AUS 8A steel.

This review of the Cold Steel Rajah III highlights its tactical capabilities and surprising EDC potential, despite its size. The reviewer, Nutnfancy, details the knife's AUS 8A steel blade, robust Tri-Ad lock, and unique Kukri shape, noting its excellent cutting performance. While the Grivory handle is functional, the addition of traction tape is recommended for enhanced grip during rapid deployment, a modification the reviewer personally implemented.

This video review focuses on the Gerber Harsey Air Ranger and Air Ranger II folding knives, highlighting their lightweight design and rapid blade deployment. The reviewer praises their functional clip blades, attractive milled aluminum handles, and good thumbstuds, suggesting they offer excellent value. Potential downsides mentioned include the AUS-8A steel's tendency to be soft, squared handle shoulders, a non-reversible tip-down carry clip, and a blade thickness that might require reprofiling for optimal slicing. Despite the Air Ranger II being discontinued, it's noted as a good tactical choice. The reviewer assigns a 7/10 for the Ranger 1 and 8/10 for the Ranger II on their likeability scale.
