Videos tagged with Combo Edge

This video review focuses on the Benchmade Bugout 535S, highlighting its combo edge (plain and serrated) as an essential addition to any EDC (Everyday Carry) collection. The presenter argues that neglecting a combo edge knife is a mistake for those who carry a knife daily. The video also briefly showcases other knives such as the Benchmade Boost, Gerber Spring Assist, Spyderco Para 2, Mini Bugout, Carbon Fiber Bugout, and a Leatherman P4 multitool, suggesting a broader interest in EDC tools.

This YouTube video focuses on the OPMOD Browning Folding Knife with a Thumb Rest, a limited edition collaboration between OpticsPlanet and Browning. The description highlights its compact size (3 7/8" closed, 2 5/8" blade), drop point combo edge, and G10 scales for comfortable ambidextrous use. The knife is presented as a versatile tool, and viewers are directed to OpticsPlanet.com for purchase.

The Kershaw Chill is a highly recommended, budget-friendly EDC knife offering exceptional value at around $16. Despite being made in China, it features a lightweight G10 handle, reliable flipper deployment, and a liner lock. Its 8Cr13MoV steel blade, designed by RJ Martin, is elegant but thinner than some competitors, and the reviewer notes it benefits from custom jimping for improved grip.

This video reviews the Kershaw PackRat, highlighting its ergonomic handle, superb blade shape with excellent sweep and piercing capability, and the effectiveness of its combo edge with Kershaw's smooth serrations. The 14C28N steel is praised for its sharpness, fine edge capability, toughness, edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The review notes the strong, repositionable clip, comfortable G10 handle, and the knife's Zytel backspacer with nested stainless liners. The assisted opening with a back flipper is emphasized for its speed and fun factor, along with a tight lockup and acceptable blade centering. The reviewer concludes that the PackRat offers high value for its price and has no major weaknesses, rating it 9 out of 10 on the Likability Scale and suggesting it could even serve an emergency tactical role.

The Benchmade 550HG Griptilian is reviewed as a benchmark EDC knife, weighing 3.8 oz and fitting the '4-ounce limit' for everyday carry. While its FRN handle offers good grip, the jimping is criticized for being too smooth compared to Spyderco's standard. The 154CM steel blade is praised for versatility, and the Axis Lock provides reliable deployment.

This video reviews the Benchmade 9050 Auto, a knife deemed too bulky and heavy for duty use by the reviewer and their military unit. Despite its perceived bulk, the reviewer highlights the knife's strengths: a super strong, fast-deploying, and comfortable automatic mechanism with a 154CM blade. The NSN version features a combo edge due to contract specifications. The reviewer concludes that while the knife is a quality automatic, its weight and bulk make it less suitable for frequent carry, especially compared to other available options. The description also includes a legal note regarding the shipment and possession of switchblade knives under US Code 15 US 1244, particularly concerning contracts with the armed forces.
