Competitive options like the Civivi Courser, Kizer Vanguard, and various Spyderco and Kershaw models are mentioned.

This video provides a concise review of the M10 Gryphon, a compact fixed-blade knife featuring a full flat grind and VG10 steel. The reviewer highlights its sharpness out-of-the-box, excellent edge retention, and the strength of its tip. The Zytel handle offers good traction, and the jimping is present, though could be sharper. A significant upgrade mentioned is the SheathPro sheath, made from .080 Boltaron, which is praised for its perfect fit, rattle-free carry, and versatility for various carry positions. The knife's lightweight design (6 ounces) and rugged construction make it a reliable EDC or tactical backup option. The reviewer rates it 8.5 out of 10 and recommends using code 'nutnfancy' at cutleryshoppe.com for free shipping.

This video by Nutnfancy reviews the Spyderco Calypso knife, highlighting its similarities in size and construction to the Endura 4 and Police G10 models. The reviewer praises the FFG VG10 steel blade's cutting ability and ease of sharpening, as well as the knife's speed, lockup, quality, blade centering, retention, and balance. The earth brown G10 scales are also commended. A notable omission is the lack of jimping, which might be a nod to the original 1990s model. The reviewer also mentions modifying the clip for less obnoxiousness and notes the knife's good value at around $135. It's described as a useful and cool addition for collectors, especially those who identify as 'sheepdogs'.

This video provides a real-world test of VG10 steel's corrosion resistance by leaving a Spyderco Delica 4 in snow overnight. The VG10 blade showed minimal discoloration, outperforming the 8Cr13MoV steel found on a Spyderco Tenacious, which exhibited visible rust. The reviewer highlights VG10's excellent balance of rust resistance, edge retention, and ease of sharpening as justification for its higher cost in demanding outdoor applications.

This video reviews the Spyderco Native 4 Carbon Fiber (CF) model, highlighting its aesthetic appeal and flat, comfortable carry profile due to thin CF scales. The reviewer notes excellent Spyderco craftsmanship, superb blade deployment, lockup, and a functional 2.9-inch full flat ground VG10 blade, ideal for EDC. However, criticisms include disappointing slickness of the carbon fiber scales with zero traction, absence of jimping on the upper spine, and an unimpressive carry weight of 3.4 ounces attributed to the skeletonized stainless steel frame. The reviewer suggests titanium would have been a better frame material for the price point. While functional, the knife is deemed low value at around $140, making it more of a collectible for diehard Spyderco fans than a practical user knife, especially with better sub-$50 options available. The Nutnfancy Likeability Scale is 6.5/10, primarily due to its high cost.

The Spyderco Delica 3 and 4 are both excellent EDC options, with the Delica 3 favored for its lighter weight (2.0 oz) and simpler FRN construction. The Delica 4 offers improvements like nested steel liners for durability and Torx screw construction for easier maintenance, but at a heavier 2.6 oz. Both utilize VG-10 steel, known for its edge retention and rust resistance, though the Delica 3's higher hollow grind is preferred for slicing.

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 Fallkniven A1 excels in compact efficiency, earning a perfect 10/10 rating. Its 6.5-inch VG10 steel blade, despite its size, performs admirably in batoning and chopping due to its 1/4-inch thickness and convex grind. The Kydex sheath offers secure retention but lacks quick-attachment features, a point of comparison with other designs.

The Fallkniven A1 is a robust medium-sized survival knife featuring VG-10 steel and a Kraton handle. While offering excellent corrosion resistance and a comfortable grip for batoning, its VG-10 steel can be brittle. The knife's 6-inch blade and 14-ounce weight make it a capable tool for wilderness tasks, though it's shorter than some heavy-duty choppers.

This video review focuses on the AG Russell Bird & Trout Knife, highlighting its suitability for backpacking and outdoor tasks. The reviewer emphasizes its lightweight design (2.1 oz), durable VG10 steel blade known for sharpness and rust resistance, and the secure FRN sheath with a swivel clip. While praising its performance for cleaning smaller fish like trout and general camp chores, the reviewer also mentions the Kershaw Model 1250 as a more affordable option for filleting larger fish. The AG Russell knife is deemed a top pick for a backpacking utility blade despite its $50 price point, receiving a high 'Nutnfancy Likability Scale' score of 9 out of 10.
