This video reviews the Lone Wolf Lobo, a knife that is deemed to be a "high cost novelty." The reviewer highlights its expensive price point relative to its utility, despite acknowledging its high quality and rapid automatic blade deployment. Significant downsides are pointed out, including forced tip-down carry, a "funky" recurved blade, a suboptimal pocket clip and thumb hole for manual deployment, and a substantial weight. The reviewer notes that many other manual tactical and EDC folders offer superior performance at a lower cost, citing the Benchmade 940 as an example.

Suggestions are made for potential modification using sandpaper to improve the grip and "bite" of the jimping, which the reviewer feels SOG should address in future production.
