is this one a winner? i don't have an SOG in my collection and the action looks incredible on this knife, is it an assisted opener or just extremely smooth?

[nitwitbeer]

imairlax,

I EDC this for quite some time and is still in my rotation. It's NOT an assisted opener. The action on the SOG arc locks are really that smooth. I started with assisted openers and I guess the last several years have really preferred the SOG arc-locks and Benchmade AXIS-locks. cont>>>

They're very similar locks and behave the same. I'd start with Benchmade first, they are a little more expensive but I use mine a lot and are very smooth/solid and good size. The SOG elite is priced well and now uses VG-10 steel which I like.

yeah im stuck between a Kershaw leek and a sog twitch II Xl any one wanna help me out

[nitwitbeer]

hockeylunatic57,

I don't own the Leek but what I understand their blade tip is prone to breaking under hard use. I like both versions of my SOG Twitch's only issue thus far has been a missing clip screw which was replaced for free. Whatever you can pick up cheaper they seem to be very similar I just prefer SOG.

can someone tell me what the difference is between a lock knife and a flick knife?

[nitwitbeer]

ScottScott12345,

I'm not sure I understand. But one refers to what happens when the blade opens (LOCK). The other sounds like how you may open the blade (FLICK). Clarify and I'll try further

@littlegoobie That was a border comitee ruling and not from a criminal court.

The border gards will seize pretty much any knife they can flick open with a swing of a wrist even though the exact same model is sold in many stores across canada. You can get the spec elite knife at lebaron in canada and at many other stores too online. Just don,t buy them in the US because they will be seized at the border by some cocksuker border dude on a power trip.

[MATTNATTMATT]

is it an assisted opening knife?

[littlegoobie]

that's right. no spring and it's okay. anything that has the blade on a spring is restricted in canada.

[littlegoobie]

not legal in canada.  considered a restricted weapon. terry shannon lost the appeal. not long ago

[gonfley]

can someone tell me the thickness of the blade ,please anyone!!! :)

[Yrevketumbezesk]

you know what dude...go ask to the canadian tire buddy,he probably know or if not go to a hunt specilized shop their maybe have what you need...

I live in Ottawa Ontario and I bought one here. It isn't assisted. I can open mine just like in this video after working it in over a few weeks.

It's a great knife and I recommend it.

It's my EDC (Every Day Carry)

Just be careful. The clip that rides on the outside of your pants pocket isn't flush so it can get caught, become lose and fall out of your pocket. I lost my first one that way.

[Botts85]

It's legal in Canada. Assisted is ok, as long as the pressure to start the assisting isn't on the handle. However, a knife with a very loose hinge that one could "fling" open would be illegal.

Canadian Criminal Code Bans:

Sec. (84)(1)(b) "any knife that has a blade that opens automatically by gravity or centrifugal force, or by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device attached to the handle of the knife".

There are no other knife banning laws in Canada.

i asked him the same thing, it's not, just great action.
