Which Pocket/folding Knives Brand Wins?

(just over)

captioned as '11 17.76%'; the leading '11' and trailing '%' do not fit any plausible weight format used elsewhere in this video and are almost certainly caption artifacts around a real figure, kept verbatim rather than guessed

captioned with a leading '11 18.96%' fragment immediately before it that does not fit the video's weight format and is kept verbatim as an unresolved artifact rather than guessed

not stated anywhere in the transcript, an apparent gap

not stated; the transcript reads 'a crescent is the heaviest yet at price of $20 is this Oldtimer brand' with the actual weight number missing between 'at' and the next brand's price introduction, a clear caption gap

(transcript merges this figure directly into the next sentence about CRKT with a stray '%' sign, 'the Smith and Wesson weighs 99.37% G for the crkt'; the number is attributed to Smith & Wesson by sentence position, the '%' kept as an unresolved artifact)

not clearly isolated; the transcript's weight sentence for this brand is merged with Smith & Wesson's ('the Smith and Wesson weighs 99.37% G for the crkt'), leaving no distinct CRKT figure, an apparent gap

captioned as '19.764miles', an obviously garbled unit and figure; by far the heaviest knife in the lineup per the narrator, exact grams not recoverable, kept verbatim rather than guessed

very light

(right out at)

called a great result for a $6 knife

pretty sharp but not as sharp as AOSILEY

described later as pretty dull to start

described as maybe not the sharpest but still pretty sharp

stated as 40 points behind Mossy Oak's 165, which checks out (165+40=205)

good enough to move into third place behind Steinbrucke at that point

called very impressive

one of the sharpest knives in the lineup

performed well

not given an explicit number at introduction; the later durability recap states only that Gerber 'started off the dest in the lineup' (dullest of all 19 brands), with no numeric starting score ever stated, only the post-test figure of 260

performed well

very sharp, moved into second place behind Civivi at that point (subject dropped from the transcript sentence, resolved by testing-order position and later cross references)

started duller than average for a knife at this price

not stated; the lock-force test section opens mid comparison ('it takes a lot less force to unlock the albatross') implying AOSILEY's own figure was given just before this excerpt or as an implicit baseline, but no explicit AOSILEY number appears anywhere in the transcript, an apparent gap

finished third-lowest (easiest to unlock) of all 19 brands per the closing recap

very close to 2

described as taking a little thumb and finger strength

the lowest (easiest to unlock) of all 19 brands per the closing recap

about the same as GW

the most force required of any brand up to that point in the video

also described as taking quite a bit of force

a little more than average

a little more than average

pretty easy to unlock

also pretty easy to unlock

quite a bit of force from the thumb

second-lowest (second-easiest to unlock) of all 19 brands per the closing recap, which also includes a stray fragment ('1.25 five') not otherwise explained

also pretty easy to unlock

pretty close to average

described as quite a bit of force

by far the smoothest yet at that point in the video

even better (smoother) than Mossy Oak

described as a little stiffness and arthritis to be expected

about the same as GW

about the same as Albatross

almost as stiff as Old Timer

(a mid-video comparison line separately states 'zero tolerance is the same as a civi at 13 G', which conflicts with the 11g figure stated directly for Civivi and confirmed again in the closing recap as 11g for both Civivi and Zero Tolerance; the mid-video 13g statement is kept as a flagged inconsistency rather than used)

better than average

very easy and smooth

by far the stiffest (worst) opening force of all 19 brands

very smooth and easy to open, the same as SOG

moved into the lead, the smoothest (lowest force) opening of all 19 brands

the same as Kizer

(a mid-video line states 'zero tolerance is the same as a civi at 13 G', which conflicts with the closing recap's '11 G' figure for both Civivi and Zero Tolerance; the mid-video 13g statement is kept as a flagged inconsistency rather than used)

(up from 190)

(up from 205)

the dullest result yet at that point in the video

the dullest result in the entire video

held the sharpest edge yet at that point in the video

(up from 235)

lost 100 sharpness points from 195

(up from 185), a lot of dulling

(up from 205)

(up from 175), tied with Steinbrucke for the sharpest result at that point

(up from 130)

(up from 160), moved into first place (best edge retention) at that point in the video

lost 110 points from 185

captioned as 'held up well at 27', a dropped trailing digit; not recoverable precisely, kept as an unresolved artifact rather than guessed

lost 115 points from 175

held up well, moved into first place (over Kershaw) at that point in the video

essentially unchanged from its initial 220 score; the narrator explains that starting duller than average left it with less room to dull further during this test, a real result rather than a caption error

sharper than AOSILEY's 110

described as the sharpest it could be made despite several attempts

captioned as 'maxed out at5 sharpness points', a dropped leading digit; not recoverable precisely, kept as an unresolved artifact rather than guessed

described as very easy to sharpen

same sharpness as Crescent

not quite as sharp as Old Timer's 105

just as sharp as Steinbrucke

pretty challenging to sharpen

formed a very sharp knife edge

about the same sharpness as Gerber

the same as SOG

the same as ICON

held up really well for a $6 knife

(up from 105)

struggled to hold a blade edge

dulled pretty badly

(only lost 20 points from 115), the smallest sharpness loss of any brand in this final test

(lost 110 points from 105)

(up from 115), dulled quite a bit

(up from 120), dulled quite a bit

described as unable to hold a sharp edge (as in the earlier durability test)

still very sharp

did a great job of holding a blade edge, as it had in the earlier durability test

really struggled to hold a sharp edge, in really bad shape

did a fantastic job of holding a blade edge in both durability tests

also held a sharp blade edge in the first durability test and is still sharper than new

the sharpest knife in the lineup at that point; closing recap confirms second place overall behind Zero Tolerance

a strong performer in both durability tests, much better than average; closing recap confirms a tie with Boker for the final spot behind Zero Tolerance and ICON

by far the best (sharpest) final result of all 19 brands

held up really well with only a small amount of damage

direct hit, a little more damage than AOSILEY

blade dulled quickly on impact, a good indication the metal is soft; a lot of damage

more damage than AOSILEY and Albatross but less than GW

about the same amount of damage as Mossy Oak

one of the heaviest knives in the lineup; a little more blade tip damage than Steinbrucke

seems pretty soft, quite a bit of damage

the direct hit caused a pretty bad bend to the blade tip, one of the worse outcomes in this test

pretty soft, quite a bit of damage

a pretty heavy knife; blade tip took quite a bit of damage

held up really well, only a small amount of damage

held a very sharp blade edge and the tip seems very durable; narrator calls out better quality blade steel than many of the other knives

some damage to the blade edge as well as a small bend to the blade tip

the heaviest knife tested; the blade tip survived the impact and still looks as good as new

a very lightweight knife; held up very well from the direct impact, just like Gerber

wasn't happy about getting dropped, held up really well with just a small amount of damage

held up really well, still looks as good as new

made of a very hard metal designed for a long-lasting durable edge; only a very small amount of damage
