Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

I have very dainty hands, however my bones are very long. This knife is probably amazing for someone with petite hands. The combo edge is the best for utility use and has stayed very sharp.

The assisted opening is very crisp and tight. The spring loaded blade works well, but the button safety lock is a little stiff.

This is my second one since i lost my first one to airport security (oops) comes in new with a razor sharp edge that lasts what seems like forever. I always keep one amd have a backup ready in the sock drawer.



Cons

The lock/unlock device was so annoying i got rid of it. The locking switch is finicky and catches sometimes. The top bolster guard is not positioned ergonomically.

This knife is dross at best. I have other sog knives that are better quality and materials. Kershaw and crkt make much better knives for half the price. Buy a similarly priced kershaw or pony up for the american made version of this knife.

Quality


One of the best pocket knifes ever made, size and operation are great


Well made and fits my hand well.


If there was a flipper tab , i could put up with this cheaply made knife!


Mine opens very roughly even after applying pivot lubricant and repeated break in exercises.

Price


For the money its worth it though.


I bought one of these years ago when they were 20 bucks.

Packaging/appearance


Was presented to me as a switchblade though

Competitiveness


Fast-open to the point of rivaling a switchblade.

    There’s no play at all between the blade and the grip


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In the description it says blade length is 2


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Under measurements however it says it’s 6” overall which it isn’t


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Some may not be concerned if it’s said to be 6” but is actually 5” or 7” but to me it matters


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Why i replaced the one i had for years with the same exact knife


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Have used this model for twenty years now and did not know gerber put a lock on the tool and moved away from internal spring lock


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    That would have saved me some skin and blood if had been a feature meany years ago
