Recommends Silky Pocketboy
I like the Pocketboy and it's staying in my bike bag for the long haul. Recommended for people who need a small high-performance folding saw to cut through whatever is in your way.

Mixed on Victorinox Hunter Pro Alox
The problem is the knife is way too heavy. Maybe if they ditched the liners, thinned the blade, and re-worked the steel backstrap you would have something that could cross-over between outdoor use and Urban EDC without pulling your pants off. As it stands the Pro Hunter strikes me as an oddity in my collection. Large and heavy, which makes it less practical. I hope it won't stop Victorinox from attempting to innovate, but it doesn't entirely feel like a step forward for the brand.

Recommends Benchmade Mini Bugout
It's everything you need and nothing you don't. It's a great ultra light EDC piece and I can easily recommend it.

Recommends Gerber Fastball
At first glance the Fastball struck me as a humble offering, but it quickly grew on me. Mostly after I started to carry and use it. I wasn't immediately impressed when I pulled the Fastball from it's box, and as a collectible I'd probably pass. But as a user piece I can easily recommend it.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
