Someone was questioning the quality of SOG knives during the last offering… Well they are good enough to the Navy Seals and other special forces.
I’ve used them hard for 15 years and I will use no other. Someone had the audacity to say that Spyderco were higher quality and had less frills. I think not!! Spyderco is ridiculously overpriced and I had to separate models fall apart on me. And look at their catalog, they care WAY more about look than function. SOG FTW!!
I bought one of these when they were offered before (the black oxide blade, not included here, but otherwise identical).
It’s a great knife. Very sharp, good feel of quality to it. Although it is NOT assisted opening, it opens very quickly with a flick of the thumb, and the lever (visible in the pics) unlocks it for folding; very simple and easy.
My only complaint is the belt clip; if you don’t want to clip it to something, that clip can be annoying. It looks like there’s a hex screw to remove said clip, but I haven’t tried to remove it yet.
This isn’t a cheap Walmart knife, this thing is real quality, and for $50, it’s worth it.
