Nice knife to be honest

It's a great assisted flipper. Wonderful coating and the harpoon blade shape is pleasing to the eye. I would have love some more gimping on it but that shouldn't take anything away from it.

Really sharp knife.  Probably one if not the nicest I have ever had!

Overall I like this knife. It is very good quality. I also like the sheath but have some issues with the way the blade goes back in after using it. Getting the blade into the center of the plastic insert is hit or miss. Another minor item,which doesn't affect the quality at all, is that when I opened the box the dye from the cardboard insert had stained the sheath. Over all though I would recommend this knife

I've really liked this knife and will be getting one for each glove box.  It's got a nice feel to it, the blade is very sharp, but I'm unsure how well the seatbelt cutter will work in a pressure situation.  My guess is the knife will work better.  I've tested the blade with rope and other goodies and all were cut very easily.  The serrated edges are an added bonus, very sharp and great for cutting.  The heft to the knife shows me that it'll be able to break a window if I ever do need to use the window punch.  The window punch is formed out of the center piece of that end of the knife, one solid piece.  The knife weighs in at 5.2oz on my digital scale (slightly more than shown in the product specs).

I have been surprised at how much I like carrying this knife with me through the day.  It's larger than my normal pocket knife, it fits well in my pocket clipped to the top of my pocket and has such a good feel in my hands that I'm going to carry this size around for a few weeks and perhaps make a permanent change.  I like that the clip mounting keeps the knife blade pointed down and that the top edge is smooth when in your pocket.  If it were the other way around the glass break point would be facing up.  One negative is that due to the end the clip is on you do have to turn the knife around in your hand to actually open it once you remove it from your pocket.

The knife has a very solid feel to it.  It was a little rough opening and locking in place at first but some spray lube in the main joint easily fixed that.  There is also a Torx nut you can adjust the tension with. Opening the blade, it works well and smoothly via the thumb tab.  If I flip the blade out firmly it locks very securely.  In fact it can be a little difficult to unlock it once flipped out, meaning if I flip it out firmly it takes two hands to unlock it.

4 stars for being a quality sharp knife for a very good price.  Not 5 stars because I had to lube it and because it can lock open so tightly that it's difficult to close.

This is a pretty good knife for the price. I've had it on person for over two years now and it's still with me today. I have not been nice to it. It's been used for all sorts of things, cutting, sawing, as a screwdriver, etc.

Here's what I like:
- It's easy to open (relatively easy to close)
- It opens extremely fast
- The blade stays sharp for a good amount of time
- Good overall handle and blade length
- Reversible clip
- American made

Here's what's not to like:
- The safety will break off (only time will tell when. Mine broke a year in)
- The tip will probably break (depends how hard you use it. Mine broke after about 1.5 years or so)
- Even though it's Sandvik 14C28N steel (which I think is better than 8CR13MoV steel... right?) that doesn't mean it won't bend. I've managed to bend the tip using it as a flathead.
- The serrated teeth can bend (mine are bent a little, all depends on how hard to use it)
- Deceiving thumb openers on the blade (while you can use them to open the knife, you shouldn't. These knives are pretty sharp and odds are you will cut yourself).

Overall, I like it. It's been through some things with me and I don't plan on getting another knife for a while.

Pretty nice knife looks nice it's a little small for my hands but I'm a bigger guy so It's to be expected

This is a very nice knife,  I don't see it breaking or failing under normal use. A knife is not a chopping tool.

Nice heavy knife, good quality construction.  Beautiful wood handle.  Spring assist isn't the best, probably due to the heavy weight of the blade itself.  The only thing I was a bit disappointed in was the leather pull string which doesn't match the wood or anything else on this knife.  It seems out of place and the thumb lock/closure isn't the easiest to use... Other than that it's a fine knife.

NOTE: If you appreciated this review please give it a thumbs up/like your helping me to continue to give honest/unbiased insight into products Ive used and you may have questions about. Interested in a product but don't know enough about it and would like it reviewed? Please let me know and I'll see what I can do... Thank you

This knife isn't small, its got a 4" blade and as a result it takes a bit of force to flick open. But it looks good and is sharp. would get again.

Great knife for the price, really sharp, will see how it holds up.

It needed sharpening when I got it but after that it's been a very nice knife. Especially considering how cheap it is. I will say I underestimated the size of 10" - it's by far the largest knife in the drawer. But it's very handy - even on a small cutting board it excels and chopping onions or dicing cilantro. I will probably add a smaller knife to my kit eventually but for now this is my go to knife.

So far, under light use, I really like this knife.

Overall this knife is an excellent purchase for people that want to have a nice looking blade that is also sharp, functional, and strong.  My hands are very large and filled up the handle fully if not just a tiny bit over the pommel, but I expect this from most knives.

The Pro:
* The blade is literally a thing a beauty and the edge came shaving sharp.
* The blade is wide and the spine thick, it has a good heft.
* The locking mechanism is solid and when held open is very difficult to activate, yet possible.
* A Comfortable grip that feels strong enough.
* The thumb studs are large, smooth, and open the blade easily.

Tho Con:
* The weight of the handle is far too light for the weight of the blade.
* The locking mechanism slides a little inside itself when pushed down on, not a big deal but I expected this to be more solid.

While I knew the handle was made of zytel and would feel lighter in weight to other materials I was taken aback by the stark contrast in weight.  At first I thought the handle to be weak or cheaply made but so far it has taken light prying and my weight on the locking mechanism without failure.  I am going to inquire with a few knife makers I know to make me a handle of slightly higher weight to get the feeling perfect.

Knowing this about the handle would NOT have changed my purchase of this knife.  I still believe this to be a five star knife for 95% of the people out there.  If you know what you are doing in a knife fight or have very high expectations you already know that SOG's quality is slipping and should stick to custom made knives; another reviewer pointed this out and it bears repeating.

As with everyone else's reviews I have been reading, I saw that a lot of people were skeptical about the blade because of the cheap price. Well I must say that I am happy with my purchase. The blade itself is really nice and feels sturdy. I have read from other reviews that the blade was wobbly and such but that's not the case with mine. The only downside I would have with the blade was that its was quite dull when I got it but nothing a sharpener can't fix. The handle has a good feel in my hand and is comfortable to grip. The sheath is not of the best of quality. Its just a typical cheap sheath but bought this product for the knife so having a cheap sheath isn't a big deal. So for the blade itself I would give a 5 stars and the sheath 3 stars thus giving it my overall rating of 4 stars.

It should be fairly obvious that this knife will probably not often be strapped to one's leg during a hunt or hike, hacking bamboo, chopping through brush or skinning a mule deer.  Not that the knife couldn't handle that, it probably could (with some work on the edge, see below).  But I have knives for rough use and knives that are more show pieces, and this one falls into the latter category, as I intended it.  That being said, it excels in that respect.  It is a gorgeous knife, substantial and polished.  The blade is wide and impressive (although I'm sure not full tang), and the wire handle is tight and solid.  I'm not crazy about the scallopped effect, but that's just personal preference.  The biggest downer is this knife is not nearly "razor sharp" as described.  Sure, that can and will be fixed, but a) I don't like false advertising, and b) sharp out of the box would have shown me some extra care went into the making.

So I'm a home cook that has gone through so many knives trying to find one that would be my go to knife. This knife was listed on Amazon Deal of The Day so I scored it at a great price.

As other reviewers stated this knife came in a really nice box. Additionally they included a magnetic piece to attach to the wall to store the knife when not in use. I won't use it personally but it is a nice little extra.

The knife has a really good weight to it. Which I personally appreciate. Mine wasn't as sharp as I would have liked it but it was my no means dull. I'll have to see how it cuts after a few more used.

A tip to keep your knives sharper longer is to hand wash and not put in the dishwasher.

As a note my reviews are based on my personal experience and paid entirely by me at whatever the price Amazon is selling the item for. I often shop at random times for random items that I may need or just decided I could use and I read reviews as a way to help me make decisions. Therefore I'll tell you the good, the bad and the "you have lost your mind if you buy this item" to ensure people have the most accurate information when making their purchases. We all work hard and nobody has time or money to waste; so I try to be as honest as I can to support the buying community.

Overall I really like this knife, great feel. The blade itself isn't super sharp, you can cut through paper if you try and it will not shave hair, but for it's intended purpose and my usage it is just fine. My only other gripe is although the locking mechanism works very well, to close the blade you are required to put your thumb in harms way and then remove it before it gets touched as you close it. If you are reasonable you will not get cut by it, but its a bit of a small thing and the product justifies why it dos this however it is in the manual that you have to put a finger in the way of the blade and remove it.
