So I was given a smaller Kershaw knife a few years ago as a gift and It’s a nice little knife. What I liked most about it is the flick opening mechanism on the back side of the handle. As I was looking for another SOG knife the other day I saw this beautiful knife with the incredible looking scales AND the same opening mechanism that I loved on the Kershaw! This sort of serindipity is the kind of thing that makes me lose all control around the Buy Now button.When the knife arrived and I tore open the shipping envelope and then carefully opened the box, it was even more beautiful than it looked in the photos on the site. The Linen Micarta on the handle is not only gorgeous but very functional, feeling great in the hand and provides a very solid grip on the knife. The nub that you use to flick the blade open becomes a very nice and effective guard to ensure that your hand doesn’t slip forward on to the VERY sharp blade. So, convenience and safety in one little detail of the blade.The blade itself is beautiful. The Japanese knifemakers are world renowned for a very good reason. It’s quite thick along the top and the subtle tanto style shape of the lower, edged portion narrows to literally nothing. This is a serious blade. It’s also an extremely capable blade.The knife as a whole is substantial, heavier than most pocket folders but beautifully balanced when it’s open. In one of the photos, I’m holding the closed knife in my palm to show scale. I’m 6’4″ and about 220 and my hands are proportionate. This is not a great knife for someone with small hands.But it IS a great knife.Other than SOG, I own Victorinox, Kershaw, Spyderco and one Cold Steel (hey, don’t shame me, I just liked the way it looked with its traditional looking tanto style blade). Quality knives matter to me and this is gonna be one of my favorites. It’s the only blade I’m taking on a six day camping trip in a couple of weeks.This knife is certainly not the cheapest thing you can find on Tomahawk Tactical Supply but I think that, for what you’re getting, it’s VERY fairly priced. If you can afford it (and your hands are big enough) I highly recommend it!As a matter of fact, I like this knife so much that I’ve got a Kiku XR LTE coming on Friday!

It’s a SOG and is what you would expect a SOG to be. Excellent quality, excellent craftmanship, and feel. Although I was expecting it to be bigger, I find it still functional. It is, for me, a little bulky and most likely more suitable to a knife with a pouch or pack-pouch attachment type carry. Saying that, it will be going to the field more and as a good utility knife. The downside? And all knives have downsides, are the knife is stiff when trying to open. So opening it quickly, and until it wears in, is stiff. Closing? Due to the thickness of the frame, for most, it will be ‘hard’ to get to the thumb notch. Again, the knife is new and needs some breaking in to conquer that and over time, it will be easier. The blade, remember it is a SOG, is not the sharpest I had, but it is razor sharp. It has a good definition and the blade is wide enough to handle most crafting functions. It’s not a robust bush-knife but in a pinch it will work, or should work. My thoughts? If you are looking for a good all-purpose (carry, EDC, outdoor, craft, etc.) knife. this is one to have in your collection. Worth the money…..

I have a few different BenchMades, SpyderCo’s and four or five SOGs. Couple of older Italian stilettos as well etc, but what attracts me to the SOGs is the affordability and reliability. Mentioning some of these other brands, it can be a little bit nerve-racking carrying around a $300 or $400+ knife, if you lose it- that’s a BAD day. SOG offers similar quality for about half of the more expensive EDC knife brands, but similar or the same quality. This particular buy a prime example of that. Actually started carrying my first SOG about 12 or 13 years ago in my high school years and still have the first one my friend bought me for Christmas in 2009. This knife is a great every day carry on my walks 3 to 5 hours per day on the nature trails here down in South Florida, and carry it with me all the time when just running around too. Definitely cannot be worn with dress occasion since it will weigh down your slacks or sports coat, but perfect to wear on athletic shorts, or clipped to your jean pocket. I’ve read some other reviews that say it’s a hit or miss with quality, the only thing negative I could say about this SOG and the others I own is that they’re usually not as sharp as some of the higher end blade brands (out of the box you may want to do a light sharpening), and they will require some blade tightening and sharpening when used and carried extensively. That’s about it.
