The Microtech Halo 5 is presented as a legendary, albeit expensive, OTF knife, often considered a 'Holy Grail' collectible. Its single-action design features a powerful spring deployment via a button and manual retraction, distinguishing it from double-action models. The 4.6-inch S35VN Tanto blade and 6061-T6 aluminum handle offer robust construction and ergonomics, making it a highly sought-after tactical tool and collector's item.
This video review focuses on the Gerber LMF II Infantry Knife, a tool designed for tactical and military personnel. The description highlights its robust full-tang construction with a partially serrated black oxide blade. Key features include a drop leg sheath with a built-in sharpener, MOLLE compatibility, and a rubberized handle for shock absorption. The knife also boasts a hardened glass breaker and the ability to be fashioned into a spear for survival. It is available in Coyote Brown and Infantry Green and is sold at OpticsPlanet.com.
This video reviews the SOG Field Pup fixed blade knife, highlighting its excellent ergonomics, light weight, and comfort in hand. Despite its attractive price point and good out-of-the-box sharpness, the reviewer expresses disappointment with the 7Cr17Mov steel used in current production, preferring the older AUS8 steel and suggesting an upgrade to 8Cr13Mov for better edge retention. The knife is recommended for light tactical, camp, food prep, fishing, and general utility use. The review also covers the quality of the included leather sheath and details a MOLLE sheath option available with the Field Pup 2.
This video review by Nutnfancy focuses on the SOG Tsunami fixed-blade knife, comparing it to other competitive options. The reviewer highlights the knife's sleek and deadly appearance, suitable for a movie prop, but emphasizes its practical capabilities. Key features discussed include the AUS8 6.5-inch tanto blade with a gradual tip geometry for penetration, a slight belly, hollow grind, and sharp edge. The knife shares a Kraton handle with top jimping from the SOG Northwest Ranger. Minor criticisms include a desire for a longer handle and the sheath's use of a velcro retention strap instead of a snap. The reviewer notes its high value at around $60 in 2012 for the blackened TiNi version, concluding that the Tsunami earns a spot in the SOG Hall of Fame for its balance of cutting ability and aesthetics. The review offers a high likability score of 9 out of 10.
The Ontario SP50 is a robust survival knife featuring durable 5160 carbon steel and a full flat grind, designed for heavy-duty wilderness tasks like batoning and shelter building. While its Kraton handle offers good shock absorption, the included MOLLE sheath's liner can be loose, requiring a potential DIY fix. It offers excellent value compared to competitors like the Ka-Bar Heavy Bowie and Ontario's RTAK-II.
The Rat Cutlery RC-3 is a highly recommended fixed blade knife, offering superior quality and improved features compared to its predecessor, the Ontario RAT-3. It excels as an EDC and tactical tool due to its compact size, comfortable grip, and durable 1095 steel blade. The knife provides excellent value at around $80, making it a strong contender in its class.
This video features Nutnfancy reviewing the Benchmade Rescue Hook 5, a compact and lightweight cutter designed for emergency use. The reviewer highlights its portability (2.2 ounces) and effectiveness in cutting various materials like heavy cloth, webbing, and tactical nylon. He compares it favorably to the larger Rescue 7 model, suggesting the Rescue 5 might be the best carry-along rescue cutter available. The video also mentions its 440C steel construction, sharp blade, and a MOLLE-compatible sheath. Minor ergonomic modification (chamfering the grasping hole) is also discussed. Nutnfancy rates the product a 9 out of 10.
This video reviews the Benchmade CSK II fixed blade knife, initially suggesting its suitability for light-duty survival and combat due to its lightweight design and 1095 steel blade. However, an update from December 2008 reveals the knife broke under light limb-stripping in cold, snowy conditions. The reviewer now strongly advises against using it for survival situations, citing its failure under minimal stress. The knife is described as serviceable for defensive/offensive purposes for deploying soldiers, with a comfortable Kraton handle and a MOLLE-capable leather sheath. Despite its initial perceived capabilities, the catastrophic failure leads to a drastically revised "Nutnfancy Likeability Scale" score of 1 out of 10.
