The SOG Mini Aegis is a lightweight, dedicated EDC utility blade praised for its surgical precision and fast deployment via SOG Assisted Technology (SAT). While its delicate tip requires caution against prying, its 3-inch AUS-8 FFG blade and comfortable Zytel handle with a deep-carry clip make it a strong contender for weight-conscious users, despite a moderate value proposition at its ~$50 price point.
This video showcases new "Military Colors" of Ka-Bar Lightweight Zytel folding knives. The reviewer highlights their extremely light weight, fast deployment, solid lockup, effective jimping, and excellent pocket clips. The blackened blades and fresh color options are praised, reinforcing their appeal. At an approximate price of $15, these knives are deemed excellent for everyday carry (EDC) and make great gifts. The reviewer rates them highly, a 9 out of 10 considering their price point.
This review covers the Kershaw OD-1 and OD-2 folding knives, highlighting their unique 'Overdrive' opening mechanism. The OD-1 features Sandvik 14C28N steel and a G10 handle with a frame lock, while the OD-2 offers 8Cr13MoV steel and a Zytel handle with a liner lock. Both are presented as excellent value EDC options, with the OD-2 being particularly lightweight.
The Kershaw Oso Sweet (1830) is a budget-friendly EDC folding knife praised for its value and surprisingly good grip from its Zytel handle. It features a reliable SpeedSafe assisted opening system and an AUS-6 steel blade that is easy to sharpen, making it a solid choice for everyday carry tasks. While not a premium option, its performance and low price point make it a standout in the budget knife market.
The Cold Steel Ti-Lite Zytel is presented as an affordable, fast, and long-reaching tactical folding knife primarily designed for self-defense. Its spear-point blade lacks a significant belly, making it less ideal for general utility cutting tasks compared to dedicated EDC knives. The AUS 8 steel offers decent value but is not highly rust-resistant, and the Zytel handle, while long, has sharp edges and can trap debris.
The Ontario RAT Model 1 is highlighted as a 'value perfected' tactical folder, especially at its sub-$40 price point. It features a highly utilitarian AUS-8 blade with good out-of-the-box sharpness, a solid liner lock, and functional ergonomics despite somewhat slick Zytel scales. The black blade finish is noted as prone to chipping, but overall build quality and deployment are excellent.
