Does the blade on either of these knives lock closed? My last knife like this had a habit of opening slightly and since I carried it in my pocket made retrieval a challenge.
I do not own these particular models but I have carried a SOG every day, for a decade. I have never had the knife come open before I wanted it to. IMO, they make best EDC knives on the planet.
This VG-10 steel is an incredible steel. It’s made in one custom forge in Japan. I don’t think they do, but they could supply steel to Hanzo Hattori. If you have the right stones and take the time, you can put a 10° edge on it. That will, honest to truth, split a hair on your arm and lay skin open at a touch.
Not for the faint or timid or lazy. Well, if you’re lazy this knife will never wear out unless you intentionally break it.
No-one’s mentioned the locking mechanism. Love the Arc lock,as well as Benchmade’s Axis and Spyderco’s Ball Bearing. These are super smooth and make the knife open and close with just a flick. Plus,they’re safe because your fingers are nowhere near the edge.
