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….

Did it dawn on you that it might be knife-specific… instead of model-specific? Did you try to get it repaired? My Aegis doesn’t have the same problem. The lock is rock solid.
At over an ounce lighter than my Kershaw OSO Sweet, this is rapidly becoming my EDC knife. It’s gorgeous…

I looked at the SOG flash II several years ago when I wasn’t as savvy on knives and I thought it was awesome. Then lastyear, I almostbought one, but the salesman recommended a Kershaw blur. Finally, I picked up one at LOWES of all places for $45 and thought I was getting a deal. turns out, I’m not very impressed with the SOG at all. It feels cheap, now it looks cheap to me, and I really hate the pocket clip. I’ve has it for 6 months and it has been in my pocket 1 time.

Hmmm one of these or a Flash II…?

In the first video, nutnfancy did say that he needed to tighten the pivot screw out-of-the-box to get a tight lock-up

im at the same spot

I have to disagree with the “intimidation factor.” The only time a bad guy should know you have a blade is when it penetrates his body. Until then, keep that thing hidden. Just my $0.02

Honestly, the blade itself is beautiful. Whether it be the satin finish or the desert digital, they’re both beautiful.

I just got my SOG Aegis from my local Wal-Mart, and I got the Satin Finish one. I have to disagree with what you said about the jimping, the jimping on mine is really sharp, it locks in very well, I stabbed into a newspaper and my thumb went nowhere. It might just be the difference in individual knives, I dunno.
By Denomolise, August 14, 2009 @ 9:58 pm
yes
By hulkbuster1026, August 18, 2009 @ 11:16 pm
i agree. if some1 who is trying to attac u see’s u with ur blade they could snap and stab or shoot u just in response to ur knife

hey you should definitely do a review of the SOG Fatcat. That knife looks absolutely awesome. Big knife and should definitely look into it.
Thanks
Keep up the videos

Totally correct on the reasoning with the gymping grip. Black Oxide or TiNi coating need to go through rough, better molecular profile for color. If sent in “polished”, finish comes off in streaks or spots. Would you give me an e-mail address so I can send some pics for you to check out for possible evaluations? Big fan, Dave at SOG. By the way, I do all of the repair and warranty work there, I see all of the defects and reasons for each of the knives-pretty spot on. DD

nutnfancy’s philosophy is he’d rather run then fight. He packs atleast 3-4 knives as well as a pistol on him but he’d rather run rather then try to place himself in harm. So the whole deal with the bright blade he’s trying to say is in some dark starry night he’d rather have that blade gleaming so that the attacker might not even consider it worth the risk and run away. It’s just the way his philosophy is

Does the satin finished one leave fingerprints easily?
By pspmaxman2, November 27, 2009 @ 5:02 am

By romanosalvatore, December 3, 2009 @ 9:15 pm
