Videos tagged with Knife Handle

This video focuses on enhancing the grip of a knife handle. While knives are often carried as part of an Every Day Carry (EDC) setup that can include firearms, the content itself is directly about knife modifications and does not delve into firearms, calibers, manufacturers, or related applications like self-defense or concealed carry in a firearms context. The video's primary utility is for knife enthusiasts looking to improve the ergonomics and handling of their blades.

This video from Tactical Rifleman focuses on selecting the best fixed-blade knife for Everyday Carry (EDC). The presenters discuss various factors influencing knife choice, including blade geometry, grind type, tip shape, and material, all of which are determined by the intended use. They also highlight the often-overlooked importance of handle design for comfort and safety. The video features knives sent for review, offering honest opinions on likes and dislikes to help viewers make informed purchasing decisions for their next EDC blade.

This video review focuses on the Condor Low Drag, a fixed-blade knife praised for its handle, steel, and size. The reviewer compares it to the Condor Hudson Bay and mentions the Civivi Courser as another excellent option. The video also includes affiliate links for the knives, Edge Pro Apex sharpeners, and Olight flashlights, highlighting their utility for everyday carry and maintenance.

This video reviews the Kershaw Salvo (formerly Barrage) knife, focusing on its suitability for Everyday Carry (EDC). The reviewer highlights its thin profile for easy carrying, a strong framelock design which is preferred by some over liner locks, and the blade's geometry. The blade is 3.5 inches long with a sharp tip, hollow grind, and adequate belly. The 14C28N steel is praised for its sharpness, toughness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening, making it the recommended choice over the Damascus variant for EDC. The handle features rubber inserts for grip and a smooth clip for quick pocket insertion and extraction. While not assisted opening, it deploys quickly with adjustment. The reviewer notes the lack of significant jimping, making it less ideal as a tactical blade, but commends its overall combination of a secure lock, fast deployment, aesthetics, and sharp blade for daily use. The reviewer gives it a Likability Scale rating of 8.5 out of 10.

This video review by Nutnfancy analyzes the Benchmade Pika II knife, highlighting its perceived shortcomings despite a seemingly good on-paper specification and affordable price point (circa 2008). Key criticisms include an overly strong back spring leading to slow deployment, a dull out-of-the-box edge, ineffective spine jimping, blade wiggle, and a protruding lockback bar. The reviewer contrasts it unfavorably with the Byrd (Spyderco) Cara Cara, which offers faster deployment, solid lockup, and better jimping at a lower cost. Both knives are considered potential EDC or emergency tactical options, but the reviewer strongly prefers the Cara Cara.

The Cold Steel AK-47 is a heavy-duty tactical folder with a G10 handle offering excellent grip and an impact device. While its AUS-8 steel blade is durable, its short length (approx. 3 inches) limits reach. The Ultra Lock mechanism, while functional, can develop play over time, a point of critique compared to brands like Benchmade.
