SOG Aegis knife Update by Nutnfancy

A quick look and observation on the Satin finished SOG Aegis tactical folder. Still a great knife in any coloration but the jimping on this version, due to the polishing process, is not as sharp as the black TiNi coated blades. Some careful block sanding with some 400 to 600 grit auto sandpaper (to square the edges) might make the jimping have some "bite" again. But as it comes from the factory, the jimping kind of sucks on this version and SOG should fix that.

Hahahaha, well i have a funny story with this, im 13 years old, i gave my mother my knife to put away when my brother had a friend over, for the next couple weeks it was never found, she gave me her credit card to order a new one, i chose the SOG Aegis, i pressed confirm order and i heard her yelll, almost exactly 2 seconds after i ordered it she yelled! dont do it! I found it!!! I now get another new knife out of it :)

If anyone is wondering how deep the Aegis tip can dive into the tip of your middle finger, I'm here to report it's pretty dang far. Lol. Ouch.

they changed the gimping, its like a saw, the most aggressive i have ever seen. its like thumb spikes.

why doesn't everyone have one. i have had mine for a couple years and it serves me well even when we go to the field.

@maxrocks19 The same reason adults buy $150 knives or more expensive? I would rather spend my money on something that will last a few years and something that has some cool factor for me. Age shouldn't matter what type of knive you get, as long as it's perfect for you and will last you a while

Just a follow up in reference to the jimping- Nutnfancy's absolutely right about the polishing, however everyone should also be made aware that when buying a knife with a coating of any kind, the texture and friction increases. It isn't detrimental to the blade, especially since the grind on a blade creates "teeth" which cause friction anyway and the coating counter-balances that, but on a polished part such as the jimping on the Aegis, it matters.

@maxrocks19 im 14...im thinking of buying this knife in an all black variant. :)

@FunMultiGuy i'm not thinking that your some kind of thug, i'm 17 and i carry everyday, i'm just saying that a $70 knife seems a little expensive for a 13 years old.

@maxrocks19 I To am 13 and i have a knife and i see where you are coming from but just because we have knifes doesn't mean were thugs who intend to mug people. I have a knife because not only cause it looks good but it is extremely helpful with day to day tasks.

@crazykar3 why does a 13 year old need a $70 knife

[AtomicCheese92]

@crazykar3 haha nice, what was your last knife?

I can officially say Im growing up I made a purchase without seeing an in depth review about it on your page. I play with the knife look it up on the internet and of course you have done a review...I swear I didn't watch it before I bought it. I love my new Sog Aegis
