Fast, sharp.....what else is there?

I use this gem on my 20D along with my 24-105mm, and as far as I'm concerned it is one of the best optical lenses out there. My 24-105 isn't the ideal indoor/low light lens nor is it the ideal sports photography lens( although it is sharp, just not quite long enough) The 70-200 fills in that gap in my arsenal with IS to boot! The photos I've taken so far on the sidelines are all keepers. If you can afford it, do it, you won't regret it

Super sharp, super fast AF like MOST D lenses. My only issues had to do with CAs and fringing. Cant expect a whole lot out of a $100 lens, but it does hold its own. I always recommend this lens and the G version to beginners looking for kit replacements.

Lens is pretty sharp, pretty fast, and easy to operate. I don't care for the mf/af switch, but this takes very nice images.

So like, I got this knife, and within a couple of minutes using it accidentally cut my finger pretty bad. DAMN this thing's sharp! I know i'm a complete incompetent tool for doing so but the sheer ability of the blade surprised me.

Very, very lightweight for it's size. We're looking at a 3.5 inch blade but it's much smaller. Feels like a hollow piece of plastic almost. But as I already said the blade is very functional.

The clip is very well designed to sit low in the pocket as providing good gripping for the hand. It doesn't feel like it gets in the way while holding it.

Safety is kinda pointless, but a good feature nonetheless. Opens in a flash! And I don't mind the lack of the index finger lip opening function found on other knives. The thumb can do it just fine with no problem.

Overall very good knife, and great for the price!

Very nice, sharp, nice size focal range, pretty fast at constant f/4. Price is fair. I and a professional and I use a Sony a6000 as a walk-around, street and travel camera when I don't want to carry my heavy Nikons. This is a good addition to my Sony kit.

People are missing it. They are the best fast knife sharpner out there. The trick is to use it before the knife goes completely dull. Great for hunting!

I have owned a great many knives in my time. Especially over the last 15 years, eight of those years serving in the Marine Corps. Spider Co., Gerber, K-Bar, Kenshaw, SOG, Leatherman, etc. So far when it comes to use in the field and as an communications & electronics technician the two brands I chose the most are SOG and Gerber. Gerber tends to have better multi tools and knives that cut through anything reliably, but the sharp edge tends to dull quicker. SOG has the sharpest and best applicability with their blades, and the twitch falls right in line. Their SAT (SOG Assisted Technology) is well designed and very easy to use with either hand using any finger. I was addicted to the Flash II for years before I ran across the twitch and thought I'd give it a shot. Five star product!  The kick on the blade makes for smooth and fast opening with one hand (which I need often when holding wires in the other hand on a ladder, under a desk, in a vehicle) and the blade is VERY SHARP. They use quality steel and tempering so I can always expect them to cut when I need it. Topping it off the blade stays sharp unless I do something stupid to ruin the edge. So sharp I have to pay more attention to what I'm doing as I have cut myself on more than one occasion with just a light glance or pass.

This is a relatively SMALL blade. Look at the specs prior to your purchase. I have two other flash II's and the drew too many comments at the office so I purchased the twitch for a more practical knife. Even then I was a bit surprised how small it was. Perfect for corporate offices or a small pocket knife for everyday work. But if you want something heavier or larger spend a tad bit more and get the Twitch XL. It's more comparable in size to the Flash line. Still, for the money, you get the quality and reliability that SOG is renowned for and I couldn't be happier with this purchase!!  Just buy it, you WON'T be disappointed.

Had this knife now for several months and couldn't be happier. Came to me hair poppin sharp, the deployment is smoorh and fast. Benchmade quality is what I feel with this wonderful knife coming from someone that isn't an expert but owns a 940-1, 810, manix2, zt0560 as well as cheap knives . The only two cons of this knife are that it doesn't have the ability to carry tip up(weird at first but used to it know) and the g10 scales are not aggressive/grippy. Shipping only gets faster and faster with Amazon, no disappointment there. Don't hesitate to buy if you want a great knife at an even better price!!!

Sharp - in both style and function.  There also a little different than the average trauma shear, so I don't get it confused with my co-workers'.  Works wonderfully for everything I've done in the ER.  I've had them for a few months and there still just as sharp as the day I got them!

Sharp, comfortable to use and effective for kitchen multi-tasking.

Just ordered this I think late Saturday and it got here already, wow was that fast!

My first impressions are this is a really nice knife with exceptional fit and finish.
It feels good in the hand and is light.
Easy to clean.

Blade is sharp out of the box. It shaves my arm hair out of the box, but with a touch of effort.
Could use some slight work on a high grit stone I'd imagine if you wanted it to be absurdly sharp, maybe even just a strop, but this knife is sharper out of the box then my Shun Classic 6 inch chef knife, my Tojiro DP 240mm Gyuto, any of the midrange of the higher range Henckels I've used, along with the Fujiwara FKM Gyuto, a couple other random Shun's and some other random knives.

Blade has a nice short profile to do what a parer should do.
I've only put it through about a dozen cherry tomatoes, some strawberry coring and halfing and minced some garlic with it for the hell of it even though I prefer a chef for the latter.
So far I'm very happy with it. I'll comeback and do an update in a week or so and then again in a couple months. In a week or two when I've really put it through it's paces, if it's still holding up and a joy to use, I'll up it to 5 stars.

On a simple initial impression I'd definitely recommend this knife though.

Nice and small, just what I wanted and super sharp!

Wow! Super sharp knife.. I have several knives & have never had a Kershaw.  Have several Buck & Swiss Army types for pocket & deer hunting.  For daily use where there is a pocket clip (important to show you are carrying a knife so nobody can say it's a concealed weapon...as I understand) I like my knife to fit in the corner of my front pocket... this one does the trick but there are a couple reasons it didn't get a 5 star...

The pocket clip is very small & is VERY tight...it was almost impossible to remove it from my pocket once "clamped" on... I had to take a piece of metal & bend the clip up a few times to get it to just be "really tight". The clip being small is less desirable to me because I want there to be no doubt that people know I am carrying a knife.

The plastic grip is a bit fat for daily carry... I wish it was about 50% thinner...

Sharp and functional. Seriously what more do you want from these? :-)
