It’s a very nice knife and being small it’s very easy to use for edc.it cuts as good as a larger knife but handy to use they are sharp and easy to open just fick it open .
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great return to quality knives. The steel is great, attention to detail, blade is centered in channel. Just some light dry lube and the bearings let the blade move and it’s locks solid. No movement. Already had the Benchmade in my hand. Highly recommend SOG.
This knife has a lot of potential and all the right ingredients to be a top EDC, but SOG needs to improve their QC out of the China plant where this was manufactured. That said though, the price is very compelling even with the quirks.
The Good: THANK YOU SOG for listening to your customers and changing the clip and engraved logo on the blade. Huge upgrades in my book. Really classes up the knife. Ergos and proportions are great. The knife has a quality feel to it. Fit and finish is good.
The Less Good: The grind on the blade is lacking and barely cuts paper. The inside of the flipper tab catches on the lock cross bar and inhibits deployment unless you hit the sweet spot when retracting the XR lock (it is sensitive to applying even pressure to both sides). Once you learn what it wants, then wrist flicking is possible for both opening and closing. The action on my example is a bit stiff. Not gritty, but deployment using the flipper tab could be better (probably just needs lubrication).
