This video review focuses on the Spyderco Schempp Bowie knife, described as "knife porn" and a collectible. The reviewer highlights its aesthetic appeal, drawing parallels to the American West Bowie style, and details its features such as brass bolsters, double guards, S30V blade, carbon fiber scales, and deep carry clip. While praising the build quality and lockup, the reviewer expresses waning enthusiasm for its practical EDC (Everyday Carry) use, ultimately positioning it more as a presentation or collectible item within Ed Schempp's Ethnic series.

This video review by Nutnfancy focuses on the discontinued Spyderco Citadel automatic knife, specifically the C117 and C119 models. Despite its discontinued status, the reviewer highlights its excellent value for money, especially with a special price arranged by Nutnfancy through Blade HQ. The review details the knife's features, including S30V blades with sabre grinds, selectable satin or black finishes, aggressive jimping for control, and 6061 aluminum scales with bi-directional milling for grip. It compares the ergonomics to other full-sized automatics and praises the speed of the 83mm model and the design heritage of both sizes. The reviewer commends the clip design, lockup, and overall craftsmanship, emphasizing its US quality at a competitive price.

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 Buck Vantage series offers exceptional value, particularly the Select model at around $20-$24, featuring adequate 420HC steel and a well-designed blade. The Pro model elevates this with S30V steel and G10 handles for about $40. While the deep-carry clip is a standout feature, potential buyers should be aware of quality control issues like blade centering in the Pro models.

The Piranha Bodyguard is a lightweight (2.8 oz) automatic EDC knife featuring CPM S30V steel and a 3.3-inch spear point blade. While praised for its 'fun factor' and reasonable $135 price, it suffers from a slightly loose lockup common in Piranha designs and a slick, non-jimping handle lacking optimal traction. Its compact size makes it suitable for concealed carry, but legal restrictions on automatics should be considered.

This video review focuses on the Bradley Alias 1, a folding tactical knife, comparing it favorably to the Chris Reeve Sebenza. The reviewer highlights the Alias 1's superior value proposition, offering high-quality materials (S30V blade, titanium framelock), superb fit and finish, rock-solid lockup, and extremely fast deployment at a significantly lower price point than a Sebenza. The knife is lauded for its tactical capabilities and aesthetic appeal, with the reviewer considering it a top-tier folding tactical knife and a personal favorite, likening it to the Corvette Z06 of folding knives. A correction is made regarding the price of a small Sebenza.
