SOG Flash II knife review
my first knife review. if you have any suggestions on how to make a better video (lighting, angles, etc), please share! Special thanks to Phil Elmore of themartialist.com. His review of this knife started my collection of cutlery. I made this review a bit over a month ago, his site and forums are up and running now. The camera cut off in the middle, so watch part 2 afterwards! www.youtube.com Check out specs of this and other knives at sogknives.com Questions and comments are welcome, trolling is not. Jan. 5 2009: 1000th view today!

Finally! I’ve been expecting a knife review for a while now!
What did you pull out at 3:11?

Oh yeah, are you still selling any knives?

By ieatsuka, September 3, 2008 @ 6:20 pm

You know me. I’m a bargain hunter (or budget connoisseur, whichever you prefer). I looked into the reviews on the CRKT M16; not that interested in it. But what do you recommend? Or what’s cheap with good value? =D
Thanks for commenting on my latest vid. I don’t think I’ll make another one for a while; lack of good camera and merchandise.
By ieatsuka, September 4, 2008 @ 1:03 am
um, the m16 is the “budget” knife out of all of them.

Hey, good job!
I like this knife; the pocket clip is great, i’m not sure about the zytel handle, g10 would had been better.
Regards.
By ieatsuka, September 4, 2008 @ 11:54 am
i agree, but then the knife would have a higher price!
glad you liked the review.

It is pronounced SOG (sawg) not S.O.G. If you are doing knife reviews you should probably pronounce the brand correctly.
By ieatsuka, September 16, 2008 @ 8:54 am
my bad, I had heard it pronounced that way before but thought it was an affectionate term, similar to “Spydie” for Spyderco.
By martinaee, November 3, 2008 @ 1:06 pm
meh… I think g10 wouldn’t be a big difference than zytel. What would make a difference is steel liners on either zytel or g10. Of course then you get a lot more weight and the light weight is what makes the Flash series nice. Honestly it is a very strong knife even without liners. If you are out to really F*** it up and see how much it can take then yeah, it might bend/snap, but I haven’t heard people talk about that happening.
By cagedalpinist, November 29, 2008 @ 3:41 pm
S.O.G. is the name of the company and stands for Studies & Observations Group (a vietnam era joint SPECOPS unit.) Either pronunciation is technically correct… Additionally, I found the review helpful. I would, however, like to see someone torture test one of these knives or at least show some usage instead of just talking about the knife… Another tip for future reviews: hang a sheet — it makes a better background than your unmade bed and Special K…
By ieatsuka, December 1, 2008 @ 10:30 pm
also, what type of usage do you have in mind? what would you like to see cut?
By MystikEssence, December 11, 2008 @ 2:07 am
20 lb, 24 lb, and 32 lb paper… as well as tissue paper, toilet paper, newspaper, cigarette filter paper, corrugated cardboard, zip/cable ties, masking tape, duct tape, scotch tape, chicken breasts, pork butt, beef balls, and [insert your favorite animal] ribs.

I’ll see if it breaks, I just ordered one, just for the perfect pocket clip.
I’ve handled one and it’s awesome.
By RunAnHide07, February 5, 2009 @ 2:40 pm
