Comfortable, thin, lightweight, quality make, worth the purchase
10/10 my new favorite knife. Seriously awesome neat little knife that fits nicely in my hand. It feels comfortable in my hand due to the fingered handle.

really nice weight and balanced knife, holds tight in the sheath.
i needed a knife to begin my EDC at work and everywhere and anywhere, i wanted something small, but quality that was fixed blade, so i can get to it and have it ready to go right away with just one hand. this knife absolutely dose that better than anything else ive ever owned, this is my first fixed blade knife ive bought and i dont think ill ever buy anything else again, the sheath the metal, everything about it is perfect, i need to conceal this while wearing dress pants, a belt dress shoes and a tucked in shirt everyday to work without anyone being alarmed because they see the handle on my belt, so i clip it inside of my right side pocket with the clip rotated one click forward and its PERFECT it hides it JUST out of sight right behind the beginning of my pocket, after watching a few youtube vids on how i should carry a concealed EDC knife and spending a half hours in the mirror trying to find where i wanted to conceal it, for at work the pocket is just the best place, even thought i would have liked it on my belt sideways but it just obvi dose not sit totally flat and flush with my body because obviously its a straight knife and not bent, when im not at work though and inm going to a store it is on my belt because i care less if someone in wawa catches a little glimps of it. the grip feels just so amazing in your hand you just wanna hold it all of the time, but this is a tool for that time you might need it, not a toy to use for any excuse you can find a reason for including dumb stuff. if you carry this at work, KEEP IT CONCEALED AND OR IN YOUR POCKET dont go around showing everyone of your work buddies letting the whole world know what your working with or that your slightly prepared should the need to be ever arise, otherwise you might end up getting yourself in trouble with it, and than you might not be able to carry it there anymore and now your not prepared. after finding where i wanted to conceal it, i practiced my draw and putting it back in the sheath a good few times to get used to the motion and also to break in the sheath a little which didn't really break it in because its still really tight, which is a really good thing to me. this thing isnt going to come out by accident at all, no way no how, nicest knife i have ever owned by a long shot and the price just makes it that much better, not a single regret of purchase here.,

A great little ready to pocket carry EDC knife.
What a great little EDC knife. Comes with a nice clip setup for pocket carry! Slipped straight into my pocket.Knife retention in the sheaf is a bit tight as it should be in any new blade.Easy to draw with a thumb on the sheaf.

I Love It
I researched horizontally mounted knives for a while after seeing a coworker with one. Finally settled with the SOG Instinct (G10 Handle). I'm glad I did.I have been carrying this knife on my belt every day for the last 10 days.I have it set to grab with my off hand (left) and it swiftly draws with minimal effort and feels very solid and secure in my hand. This knife is small enough to carry all day and is large enough and quality enough to be a good handy cutting tool and/or used for self defense.Like many other reviews have said, it didn't come razor sharp, though not dull, and had a small nick in the cutting edge. Quickly resolved by sharpening the knife.The sheath holds the knife in place by friction. I would feel more comfortable if it "clicked" into place but it hasn't come loose yet, so it doesn't seem to be a problem.Update: The belt clip on sheath slipped off my belt when I was sitting in a chair on carry day number 12. I didn't notice until I needed the knife later that night. Luckily, I was able to find it. So I will need to maybe clamp the clip so it holds the belt tighter.

Perfect for the price and for what its used for
This is a great little tool. I put it on my battle belt it works perfectly. Everything is accurate when it comes to website and reviews. It is sharp. The sheath is not as bad as everyone said it was. Yest its alittle tough to pull knife out but thats what you want. I def do not want that falling out while making moves. The only down side is the clip. Its not bad but for what im using it for it is. I used a blade tech tek lock works perfect. To be honest i was nervous but gave it a shot for 30 bucks. Other options start at 100 dollars quality is great. Would recommend for a budget belt knife. Its overall size is about 6 inches.

Great knife
The knife is a great knife.but the sheath you have to be careful with.the clip on the back you set it to your desired position and don't move it again and you will be Allright. The screw is attached to the clip and if you keep turning it you will strip it out.and then no more clip to attach to belt.

Good but not great
