SOG

I was disappointed with the quality of the steel in this knife and concerned that it will not take and hold an edge of the sharpness I was expecting. Additionally, the clip is not as sturdy as it should be, and bent when I brushed past a wall with the knife in my jeans pocket. SOG has gone downhill from my recollection of its quality 10 years ago.

Strong blade, sharp and lightweight. Great sheath, no danger cutting yourself when sheathed.

need I say more

An amazing knife well worth original retail at [$]. Very well made in the USA. Great balance. Great deal at the Sierra price. Love the locking mechanism.

Probably my mistake..I didn't realize this SOG product was made in China. I don't willinly purchase products made in certain countries (including China).

The folding mechanism fell apart as I removed the blister pack...was amazed at the poor build quality. Returned it. Defective or poor design. Not up to par with other SOG items

i always wanted a big knife in case zombies attack and i have run out of ammo or my back up gun fails. this knife fills the bill.

Used this to field dress an elk last fall. Although it was sharp out of the box, I had to stop and resharpen it repeatedly throughout the job. it would be great for small jobs, but didn't make a very good hunting knife.

Daily use and I have over thirty years using knives vocationally. This knife is an excellent working tool and outstanding in price. While the blade may be a bit diffucult to open new out of the box, the allen hinge screw is easily loosened to customize opening tension. An adjustable hinge tension screw is a well thought feature that lets the user modify to preference and to compensate for wear. A drop of oil or graphite powder on the frame to blade interface smooths it out even more. This is an effective practice on all folding knives. The blade is not very sharp out of the box, but so what; it sharpens well and holds an edge quite servicably in utility use. The frame has rounded corners so no undue wear on pockets. The clip is low profile and is true spring tensioned hinge, whch holds as good or better than any other I have tried; in addition it too is low profile and smooth so it does not catch on objects and being of the same nylon based composite, does not mar furniture or snag on car seats etc. It is unlined and doesn't need to be.

Still curious about the thin cut groove on the spine, but still a really nice large pocket knife.
