At this weight and blade size, few knives will compare favorably against the excellent SOG Flash II. It's an ideal larger EDC blade that deploys wicked fast, locks tight, and carries well. The Flash series also shows other makers exactly how to make a pocket clip: removable, hardened stainless steel clip the buries the knife in the pocket. The FRN handle was wisely NOT lined with stainless steel and as such is super light, strong, and surprisingly comfortable. The full flat ground AUS8 blade is one of my favorite designs out there; an excellent cutter. The pivot screw can be adjusted. If SOG Knives were smart they would produce this knife in Desert Digital Camo AND Coyote Brown PLAIN EDGE versions. Unfortunately many of their special edition Flash models come only in less desirable combo edges (yuk). Some may feel the Flash II may not be strong enough for heavy duty, torsional cutting tasks and that may be the case. But for probably 98% of your cutting tasks it should be more than enough blade. And at amazingly svelte 3.3 oz you'll actually have it on you when you need it.

  • @forevermkd you are a disgrace to the whole knife community

  • It's the best knife I've carried for the price point it's at ~$40 bucks. The steel isn't hard to sharpen. Like nutn I thought the handle was going to be odd but grew to love it. I used a piece of skateboard tape on the thumb rest area for a but more traction. I used it to baton some small branches to get a fire going at camp recently and it took the abuse well. In PA we can't carry auto knives so this was the closest thing legally available. Two thumbs up from me.

  • i just got this knife after i watched this video =DDDD

  • I recently bought the SOG Flash II, based on this review, and have been pleased with the knife. I do have one question regarding the sharpness of the blade, does the blade lose its edge quickly? After using it to cut some cardboard it lost it's edge, is that normal? And what's the best way to sharpen it?

  • well you could always duracoat the the whole knife in coyote brown customization ftw

  • @yodayo1 in most states i would think so. its not auto, and its under 4 inch blade. unless your in cali or new york, i would think so, check with someone like a lawyer

  • This is legal to buy and carry in most states?

  • never mind about the comment of being a good self defense knife, my computer keeps shutting down and i wanted to write the comment so the computer does not shut down while i am watching the video

  • @pupo2908 Did you even watch and listen to the review?

  • I carry this everyday, Never notice it until I need it. I have the newer version with the updated release..

  • and afterwards you can come to america and we can show you some"POINTERS"

  • Do you think the SOG Flash 2 if needed is a good emergency self defense knife?
