I cannot say enough good things about this knife. I picked this up when my trusty Gerber pocket knife finally gave up on me after about 10 years of daily use. I cant leave the house without a pocket knife on me, I feel naked without one. Chances are I will forget my wallet before my knife I use them so much.
That said this knife has far exceeded my expectations. It is very comfortable in hand when I am using it. The shape conforms to my grip perfectly and the handle has just enough grip that it never slips. As far as ergonomics and balance this knife is perfect.
The blade is probably one of the sharpest I have had out of the package and stayed sharp far beyond what I expected. I am used to having to sharpen my knife about once every two weeks (again a lot of daily use) and after 2 months of use this knife is still very sharp. Even more impressive I have yet to pick up even a single nick in the blade. I use it to cut all sorts of things include wire, cardboard and acrylic sheets, and may other things that will normally chew up a blade and dull it very quickly, yet this knife has taken them all in stride.
The construction is great. It is put together solidly and tightly. There is zero blade wobble that a lot of pocket knifes have and it locks very solidly when open. The pocket clip is night and tight so I have no worries about losing it.
I have only one issue with this knife and that is the thumb stud to open the blade is a little small for my hands. While I do have huge hands (wear xxl gloves for reference), my thumb is to big to get it started from a closed position. I have learned to start it with my thumb nail, then hit the stud which works so I can still open it with just one hand, its just slightly more difficult.
On top of all that this is a great looking knife. Aesthetics are a pretty low concern for me compared to function, so I have actually found it kind of odd how many comments I have gotten on this knife when I pull it out on a job site. I have had numerous people ask to see it and I know for sure at least 2 of them have pick up similar sog knifes after using mine. That alone should speak volumes for this knife.
