The SOG Slim Jim is a remarkably thin assisted-opening knife, praised for its lightweight design and long blade for its size. While not tactical, it excels as an EDC, utility, or tradesmen knife for those needing fast blade deployment. Its primary strengths are its extreme thinness, making it virtually invisible in a pocket, and its impressive blade length-to-weight ratio. However, potential drawbacks include the lockback mechanism's susceptibility to accidental actuation and the traditional stainless steel handle, which some users find less comfortable than other materials. SOG has reportedly made improvements to address these concerns in newer versions.

This Nutnfancy video review examines the Cold Steel Pocket Bushman folder, focusing on its performance in hard-use scenarios. The reviewer, along with the TNP crew and Allie the Mountain, took the knife to the mountains for testing. Despite a re-designed locking bar that initially proved satisfactory, the Pocket Bushman ultimately failed to cope with the demands placed upon it, leading to a 'letdown.' The review highlights the knife's drawbacks for hard use, including its weight, cumbersome lock, and slippery stainless steel handle, suggesting it might only be suitable as a camp or utility knife. The reviewer concludes by stating their interest in the blade has ended, though they still appreciate other Cold Steel products. The Nutnfancy Likeability Scale score was a low 0 out of 10.
