This review of the Kershaw Piston 1860 by Nutnfancy highlights its exceptional value and performance for a USA-made knife, priced around $60. Nutnfancy, an experienced reviewer, enthusiastically praises its tactical and EDC capabilities, comfortable ergonomics, and robust 14C28N steel blade. The Piston is compared favorably to other 'Hall of Fame' blades, including the similar Kershaw Knockout, offering a compelling option for knife enthusiasts.
Nutnfancy reviews three affordable Kershaw knives: the Kershaw ½ Ton, ¾ Ton, and One Ton. He highlights their surprising quality for the low price, focusing on their construction, blade steel (8Cr13Mov with deep hollow grinds), and locking mechanisms (liner locks with SS lined nylon handles on the smaller models, and G10 on the One Ton). The review discusses ergonomics, pocket clips, and overall value, concluding that all three easily qualify for a "BEST KNIVES UNDER $40" playlist. The One Ton is particularly praised for its perceived higher value and comfortable, slim design despite its 5-ounce weight.
The Zero Tolerance 0350 is a high-quality knife with excellent build and S30V steel, but its 5.8 oz weight makes it too heavy for comfortable EDC. The Ken Onion organic blade shape is difficult to sharpen, and the handle is short for larger hands. While durable, it falls into a niche, being too heavy for EDC and too compact for a dedicated tactical role.
This video review by Nutnfancy focuses on the CRKT Ripple folding knife, highlighting its exceptionally lightweight design and innovative features. The review compares two versions: an aluminum model (2.2 oz) and a stainless steel (TiNi coated) model (2.9 oz). Both are praised for their slim profiles, making them ideal for almost invisible carry. The IKBS ball bearing system ensures smooth action and solid lockup, with perfect blade centering. The reviewer discusses the liner lock on the aluminum and framelock on the steel version, deeming both adequate for moderate utility tasks. Blade steels are Acuto Plus (high-end) and 8Cr14Mov (value), with Acuto Plus noted for its excellent edge holding. The video also covers handle ergonomics, jimping, guard formation, and construction details like the zytel backspacer and lightening holes. Despite some minor critiques regarding the proud and non-repositionable pocket clips, the CRKT Ripple is highly recommended as an EDC Hall of Famer, with both models receiving a 9.5/10 on the Nutnfancy Likability Scale.
