Mora knives define '1st kind of cool' with their exceptional value, focusing on capability and durability over aesthetics. They are praised for their lightweight design, typically weighing 3.8-5 oz with sheath, and affordable price range ($15-$65). While capable of light batoning and fire-starting with a squared spine, they excel as versatile woods blades within a broader outdoor system.
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.
This video reviews the TOPS TSK 'Featherweight Survivor' knife, a compact, lightweight, and durable stainless steel survival blade. The reviewer discusses its 440C steel, blade geometry, edge performance after modification, and full flat grind. The Micarta handle and Kydex sheath are highlighted as excellent features, especially considering the knife's reasonable price and US manufacturing. While traditional bushcrafters might have reservations about the steel and geometry, the reviewer finds it a capable and valuable tool for various uses, including as a gift for soldiers.
