There is a lot to like about this knife. For instance, I really like the looks. The grip of the handle is excellent in part due to the texturing. The blade is robust and fairly, but not amazingly, sharp. The flipper works great and opens the blade easily.
Why only four stars? The action of the axis slider release is not smooth at all. I tried lubricating and that didn’t help. You can actually hear it when you pull it back to release the blade. Also, at this price point I have to ding it for being made in Taiwan. With a list price of ~$200 I expect made in America, Germany or Japan. To be fair, I paid $100.

Nice heavy duty knife. SOG has stepped up their game and are producing some nice knives. This is the full weight version which I prefer. It has heavy liners and is a large knife – the type sold in the men’s department. Fit and finish is well executed. It feels good in the hand. I like the “knapped flint” turtle shell contoured Micarta handle scales. The grinds are well done and symmetrical. The knife is factory sharp but not hair splitting. Overall, I like it. Some of the subjective dislikes is the compound grind and the concave contour of the blade. I will withhold judgement until I successfully sharpen it. The lack of a sharpening choil makes it difficult as well.

Love this SOG pocket knife. When you hold it you know you have a quality knife. When it’s folded and in your pocket it’s almost like you don’t know it’s there. I’m thinking about buying a few for my friends. Oh yea great price on this.
And it holds its sharpness. I love the look and the speed of the open and close of the blade.
