SOG Arc-Lock I Vulcan, Tanto Point, Manual VL-03

[quanfa88]

Additionally, the Vulcan's handle ergonomics are fantastic. I EDC this knife along with my Spyderco Military (brown sprint run w/ CTS-XHP steel). They complement each other perfectly; the Vulcan Tanto (thick, complex blade) for heavy-duty puncturing, draw-cutting, and scraping, while the Military (long, simple, flatly ground blade) for slicing & carving. I highly recommend getting both; just be aware that they are designed for different purposes.

I have had my Vulcan Tanto for over a year, and it has served me very well. It is built extremely well, and nothing is loose (even the clip). The blade design is very sophisticated (American drop-point tanto, concave inner, convex outer, blade recurve). I suppose some people dislike the zytel handle (because it feels like plastic), but it is actually a great meterial. The VG-10 San Mai blade steel has proven to be very good. Although it hasn't received a lot of reviews, it is excellent!

OK, it's mine now)

My favourite EDC, best EDC for this money. Blade is perfect.

It's a great knife except for one big flaw: the clip. It's very loose and feels horrible when you grasp the knife. I took mine off as I know a lot of guys do.

It will be mine someday)

My only concern is whether or not I want the full size version or the mini.. any body got any suggestions? if someone would like to make a video comparing the two thatd be great

@Taylor240 full size

What's the pricing on this and it's "little brother" (Vulcan vl-01)?

To anyone who's looking into this knife, GET IT. It will not disappoint you. I've had mine for a couple months now, and there's not a thing about it that I would change.

[5440Borderline]

I'm thinking heavily on getting this knife (with a conventional blade). My only concern is that the "kick deployment" might open the knife on accident. Is that actually a problem, or does the Arc-lock completley prevent that from happening? Any answer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[bigboss686]

it's not a problem with the standard blade although I don't have the tanto...yet.

[jorjethezebra]

well from what I can tell from the video it doesnt appear to be an assisted opening knife, I've got an assisted knife (but without the part on the back) and it's never opened in my pocket, the force from the spring itself keeps it closed pretty well, but it shouldnt be an issue unless you've got a bunch of stuff in your pocket

does arc lock have bladeplay?

[fishermandan11]

Nice knife.  My buddy has one--it is great.

Killer blade shape.
