Customer Reviews
The ergonomics are great.
Fit and finish is perfect, including blade centering.
Very sharp out of box.
The action is outstanding.
I have several hard use/tactical blades from many knife makers and this is now one of my favorites. Well worth the price.
Must say that SOG has been really knocking them out of the park recently after some quiet years.
The QC seems to be spot on with tight tolerances, no rattling, blade dead centered without any movement at all when opened.
The big blade flies out with three options for opening. There’s the kicker (flipper tab), large opening hole on blade, and you can use the xr lock and a flick of the wrist. The blade itself is razor sharp right out of the box.
This is a big beefy folder and blade stock, and with all the aggressive jimping stays fixed in your hand. Also, easy to use with gloves on; which you’re likely to need with long and heavy work because of all the jimping.
Have a bunch of high end knives and this is my third SOG, and if they keep things up not likely to be the last.
I say "a little" because it is balanced so well and the ergonomics of the grip are so good that the weight doesn't get in the way when it's in the hand.
The action is crazy smooth. The flipper has enough resistance that as soon as you overcome it, it flips right out. If you pull the lock, you can just move your hand and the blade swings right out. Unlock and and swing it back just as easily, all one handed. I bet you could do this with gloves on!
I love the tip on the clip point. A pointy tip is important to me to get a cut started, dig out a splinter, and other fine work, so a fine point has to deal with being delicate. This knife has a fine point and is anything but delicate.
The pocket clip is terrific. Being able to get the clip to engage with my pocket one handed without looking at it is a major grading point of any pocket knife, especially if you're paying big money, and this one is a definite pass.
Even with its size it's manageable in the pocket. Again, the ergonomics are almost weird how well it is designed to make you worry less about the size.
I compare it to my Cold Steel SR1. Overall it feels lighter even though it's a full ounce heavier. The Cold Steel gives you a "chunky" tough feel, but side by side the SOG has a thicker back and thinner taper and tip.
Factory edge is hair popping sharp. The handle material has a great grip and it has jimping on every surface available. Last part to notice is the metal pummel on the bottom that is VERY solid and tough.
Oh hey, look: a HUGE chunk of CPM-S35VN with detailed engineering made in the USA at $170!!!
Buy this knife and carry it when you're not at work. Get a small spyderco, benchmade, or ZT for when you are, and that can be your whole knife setup. OK, realistically just have a whole knife collection and love it when it comes up in your rotation.
I have knives I like, knives I love, and knives that completely surprised me and surprise me every time I take them out, literally two (maybe three) out of a few dozen. This is one of them!

Love the XR lock which makes this knife very easy to both open and close with one hand.
My only complaint is the edge on the blade. It is sharp, but the edge will need a little honing because it's very noticeably uneven which affects cutting, but only a little. I almost gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because of this, but it's easily fixed. I certainly wouldn't let that keep you from getting one of these superbly made knives. I am very happy with it and highly recommend it to anyone who likes knives.
