This video review by Nutnfancy focuses on the Spyderco Domino C172, highlighting its design by Eric Glesser. The review compares it to the Spyderco Sage Titanium, noting key differences such as the frame lock interface, flipper deployment, ball bearing pivot, internal stop pin, and the Spydie carry clip. It delves into user experience, build quality, ergonomics (including jimping), the carbon fiber scale, blade speed, lockup, and the choice of XHP steel. The video also touches on competing knives, particularly from the Spyderco family. The Domino is presented as a fast, strong, and good-looking EDC or collectible knife, with a moderate value at its street price of around $190. The reviewer assigns it an 8.5 out of 10 on his likability scale.

The Boker Plus Nano offers excellent value at $40-$45, mimicking a $300 custom design. While praised for ergonomics and a strong tip, its 440C steel edge retention is questionable, and the stainless steel frame lock adds unnecessary weight. The strong detent and ineffective jimping are noted drawbacks, but near-perfect centering and lockup at this price point make it a compelling budget EDC option.

This YouTube video features the CRKT Mini My Tighe compact folding knife, highlighting its design by Brian Tighe. The description emphasizes its frame lock, fiberglass reinforced scales, and the Outburst system for blade deployment. It mentions the knife comes with a 3-inch hollow ground blade in either a straight or serrated edge. The video directs viewers to OpticsPlanet.com for purchasing this knife and exploring CRKT's full product line.

This video reviews the Spyderco PPT knife, highlighting its heavy duty frame lock, modified Wharncliffe S30V blade with a sharp edge and swedge, and excellent jimping. The sculpted G10 handles are praised for their looks despite sharp shoulders. While the deep-carry, single-position clip is noted, its long-term durability is questioned due to a single screw attachment. The knife is described as a hard-use, functional, and cool option for those who prioritize feel and performance over weight. It's compared to other similar options, with a moderate value rating. The reviewer assigns a Nutnfancy Likability Scale score of 6 out of 10.

The Spyderco Sage series offers collectible folding knives honoring legendary lock designs, including the Walker Liner Lock (Sage 1), Reeve Integral Lock (Sage 2), and Collins Bolt Action Lock (Sage 3). Featuring 3-inch CPM S30V blades and premium handle materials like carbon fiber, titanium, and G10, these knives balance EDC utility with high-end collectibility. They provide excellent ergonomics, traction, and solid lockup, making them valuable for both daily carry and enthusiasts.
