Pretty Cool Overall

Just ordered one of these knives and I have a lot to say. I didn’t buy mine off of the SOG website because it’s never in stock but I got mine on BladeHQ and it’s super cool. This is my first knife that’s “quality”. Usually I get cheap Walmart knives but I decided to get this thing and I’m not disappointed in any way. Instantly can tell that this is a solid knife. The steel is tough and stays sharp. I see lots of reviews of people saying they’re hard to open and the serrations on the flipper are too aggressive but I found the opposite. The knife is easy to open with either hand and the serrations get a good grip when flipping the knife a lot. The carbon fiber is beautiful and this is a cool “gentleman’s knife”. Overall, very satisfied. Obviously this isn’t a $200 benchmade but it definitely hold up!

I have this in both colors. Absolutely superb. The only the third knife with a clip I have ever carried on a regular basis. Because the clip side is steel instead of textured plastic, it doesn't wear out your pants sliding in and out of the pocket. (Replaced Aegis FLK, size more convenient)

Finally, a SOG that I can get behind!

Out of the gate, this is a great knife for the price. It’s not perfect but it’s really good.
Things I like: The look and feel of the carbon over G10 scales. I love the XR/Axis Lock. The lock allows for ambidextrous use and “flip-to-open/close” action. Once lubed and broken in, it flips opened easily (after you deal with the jimping on the flipper), the pocket clip is a good size and not too tight. The frame weight relief is nice, but it is still a bit heavy.

The frame weight relief is nice, but it is still a bit heavy.
The things that I don’t like: The jimping on the flipper tab is deadly. It grates the fingerprints off and destroys the inside of your pocket. I have no idea why they did that. The action is so light that it really doesn’t need that kind of jimping, if any at all! As can be seen in the attached photo, I used a sharpening crock stick to file down the sharp tips and edges. Second, the thumb studs are a bit too close to the scales. 1mm gap would have been really welcome to get a good thump purchase. Overcoming the XR lock is harder than a normal detent and that lack of gap mean an occasional misfire for me if I don’t use some wrist flick.
Many complain about the SOG logo on the pocket clip, I don’t mind it. No worse that the Apple logo on my MacBook. Branding is branding and as long as it’s subtle and tasteful, it’s okay. Some of the old SOG stuff was a little too loud but the pocket clip is fine.
Overall, this is a great knife for the money. I can’t say buy it as your only knife but if you like to have more than one or ten knives in a collection/rotation, it’s a good buy and a fun fidget knife.
TIP: Here is a tip for you. When the knife is new, it’s a little stiff. To over come that, hold the knife in the position so you can flip it with your index finger while gently resting your thumb on one of the Axis...I mean XR lock switches. As you push/pull with your index finger, allow your thumb to grip and gently pull down on the lock (this is a natural grip/hold anyway). The XR lock acts as the detent so this light pull with the thumb reduces the “detent” force and allows the blade to swing opened really easily. After a while, once the blade loosens up, you will not need to do this.

This is just a great little "big" knife. Feels larger, thicker blade (and that tip though!!!). Overall great fit and finish, couldn't be happier.

This is a good knife with great action and it gets better in time. Edge retention is really good and the price for s35vn is fantastic. Knife came sharp and shipping was great. Love the scales on the knife looks great and love the grooves in it for a solid grip while using the knife. Not the biggest fan of the clip but it’s not terrible. Would recommend this knife to anyone looking for a great reliable smaller folder it has not failed me in any task.

Sharpest knife I've had out of the box. It's a great balance between compact and comfortable, as it feels good in the hand and allows a full grip. Carries well and looks great, with a lot of attention to detail. Even the edge is rounded so it doesn't run your hand when you reach into your pocket. Good job SOG.
