This video provides a detailed review of the SOG Salute Folding Knife. It highlights the knife's everyday, multipurpose lockback design, featuring a 3.625-inch 8Cr13MoV stainless steel Bowie-style blade with options for bead-blasted or black oxide finishes. The knife is equipped with an adjustable thumb stud for enhanced leverage. The description emphasizes the G10 handle scales, which offer heat and cold resistance and a non-slip grip, even when wet. Additionally, the ambidextrous pocket clip is noted for its versatility. The video directs viewers to OpticsPlanet.com to purchase the knife.

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 Spyderco Police G10 is a significant upgrade from older stainless steel models, offering improved grip with G10 scales and a lighter 5oz weight. Its 4 3/8 inch VG-10 blade provides excellent slicing, making it a capable tactical folder for defensive use, though its large size leans away from typical EDC. Modifications like grip tape can enhance traction on the handle.

The Spyderco Dragonfly is highlighted as an excellent lightweight EDC option, particularly the FRN model for its weight and cost-effectiveness. Despite a slightly higher price point for its size, its quality justifies the cost. The knife features a controllable AUS-8 or VG-10 blade with a full flat grind and a linerless FRN handle with 'Volcano Grip' for secure handling. The lockback mechanism includes the David Boye dent for added safety.
