Sweet little knife
A small, super light weight carry knife for when you want a lighter load. Although small, this knife is solid, sharp, and good looking. At the same time it is also very functional with a solid lock up and very convenient release.

Sweet little knife.
The only thing I do not like is the feel of the xr lock and thumb studs. I love the thin blade for certain uses but probably not heavy use. I would not use my bugout for heavy use either. It feels cheap but I understand the sacrifices for weight reduction. I like it.

Disappointed
One review compared this to the HOGUE DEKA, not even close, I own three Deka's and wanted to try this and I'm sorry I did, it's made of plastic and I don't mean just to handles, the thumb stud, the lock, SERIOUSLY!?!? It just felt cheap in the hand, the blade centering was horrible, I'm sorry but this is going back. I only gave it two stars because I feel bad

Almost perfect
Got this from a local store before the new year. I wanted to compare it to the Bugout and the Deka w/magnicut.This stack up there in weight, looks and VERY smooth opening and closing. I love the colors and ease of carry.Cons: the swap of clip to lanyard hole is BAD. I prefer a lanyard to a clip and would happily go that route, but the lanyard insert is really bad. Maybe I got a lemon version. Won't fit flush and sticks out a lot.AND if houge can have Manicut on a knife at this price point, SOG should too. If it had that steel I would give 5 stars, lanyard notwithstanding.
