SOG Twitch II Drop Point 2.65in Everyday Carry Portable Compact Well-Rounded Camping Pocket Folding Knife | AUS-8 Steel Blade

SOG quality! Top notch. Sharp blade that holds its edge well. Very sharp. Not for children. I recommend at least 14 - 15 years old. This is an adult's tool. It is beautiful. Well made. Feels smooth - no sharp edges or corners to catch on your pocket. Excellent value. I also have his much bigger brother. Easy to use. I like the lock that either locks it closed so it can't accidentally open OR locks it open to keep it from accidentally close while using it.

What a durable, well built, lightweight, little knife! This thing rocks! I’ve carried this knife for a while now. Its been my main knife in the Army and I have absolutely abused it. It was run over by a HUMVVY and it barely got a scratch on it! I sharpen this thing on rocks and sidewalks as well as chopped branches with this little guy and he still delivers. Great knife for the cost!

I'm always in the market for a handsome pocket knife, but when I wanted to upgrade my every-day-carry, I went with this one. Let me break it down: -Wooden applique is made from a real hardwood, and has an attractive grain/finish. Obviously its not as durable as the other metal options for this knife, but it will hide minor wear and tear better than other materials. -Spring opening mechanics for this knife are nifty. I like using the back 'switch' rather than the thumb studs, adds a little unique flair over typical pocket knives. One compromise to this mechanism is that it takes two hands to close. Also, the safety switch seems a little useless to me, but it does work very well. -The pocket clip isn't too bulky, and is on the opposite end as most other knives I've had. However, I decided to remove it (I like the look and feel better). I don't recommend doing this unless you have some handy precision tools laying around. The screws that hold it on are too long to put back by themselves. I had to cut/file them down to make them shorter... tricky work. -The blade came extremely sharp, but I can't speak to its hardness yet (I've only had it for a little). AUS-8 stainless steel has a pretty high carbon content, and is a little harder than 440A stainless steel (used in many pocket knives). So, it should stay sharper for longer. Overall impressions are very good. I really like the weight and size. It seems well engineered and assembled. One tip for cleaning, don't take this knife apart. I did and once I noticed that the spring around the pivot point could easily come uncoiled, I quickly aborted that mission. Instead, use a q-tip to get the pocket lint out.

It's pretty with the rosewood scales, it's a useful size and it's fidget-friendly. It fits into a fifth pocket easily (the change pocket on your jeans). I deducted one star because AUS8 is a mediocre steel at $50--it sharpens easily, but it's malleable and dulls pretty quickly. The knife flips open reliably and is sharp out of the blister pack. It's a cool knife and I've added it to my daily carry rotation...I wanted a small knife that's roughly equivalent to my Spyderco Dragonfly, and the Twitch II fits the bill. A good sub-3" knife, all around...it does 90% of what I've come to expect from a 4" blade.

Nice knife it is sharpe

Great little pocket knife. Spring assist can be adjusted with a 2mm hex key wrench, as mine need a little tweak. Has lock for blade retention or extension. Knife came sharp and well suited for most applications that a pocket knife this size would address. Don't know why it has or needs thumb screws, but added feature. Clip secures knife to pocket. Haven't sharpened yet, but shouldn't see a problem. Overall a nice pocket knife that flips to open locking position with ease and adjustable to user desire. No blade play per say, but if you loosen spring assist too much blade will move a tad. Durable finish, good size for pocket, and great design. 2c

What I like about this knife: It is absurdly sharp out of the box. When the blade is fully opened, you know the lock is going to hold it in place. and its not going to close on your fingers or anything like that. Also it has a safety to prevent it from opening if you wanted to use it. What I dislike about it: It poses a greater risk to the user than other folding knives because it is assisted opening. Handle with care. For example if you use the thumb screws to open it, the blade will jump because of the spring assist and your thumb will end up pressed against the blade. Ouch! The thumb screws would need to be much bigger to prevent this, or not included at all. It was also a struggle to open the blade fully and consistently at first. I had to do a very exaggerated wrist flick to get the blade to lock open because everything was so tight, and sometimes even that wasn't enough. When doing this wrist flick it felt like the knife could fly out of my hands because it is so small. That would be very dangerous if it did leave someone's hand unexpectedly. One time the assist spring came out of place and prevented the blade from fully opening. I had to disassemble the knife to fix it. This was a good opportunity to clean, polish, oil, and loosen things up a bit which did help. I think if the assisted opening lever was a little longer, it would be better. I originally gave 2 stars, but messed with the knife a little more and was able to loosen it up a bit. I was disappointed with this purchase for the price versus the amount of effort needed to get it to be useable, but not so disappointed that I wanted to return it. Could be better, but still a cool little knife.

Gut geschmiert bekommen, rasierscharf, sicher, leicht, empfehlenswert.

Stichwortartig meine sehr guten Eindrücke zum Twitch 2: * ist ein quallitativ sehr hochwertig * sehr angenehm zu bediendende Mechanik * Bedienelemente sind sehr griffig, keine scharfen Kanten * Kompakt, kurz, trägt nicht auf * sehr scharf * sieht 'zivil' aus Zusäzliche Hinweise: * Bedienungsanleitung fehlt, ist aber für durchschnittlich intelligente Benutzer auch nicht erforderlich * Vorsicht beim Öffnen mit den Daumenstiften: Geht wegen dem federgestützten Öffnen sehr schnell auf. Unachtsame können dabei vom Stift abrutschen versehendlich in die sehr scharfe Klinge packen. Empfehle zum Öffnen den Flipper zu benutzen. * Messer hat Lockback Sicherung * das Messer hat eine Schiebe-Sicherung hinter dem Lockback-Riegel, die ein unabsichtliches Öffnen des Messers verhindert * Das Messer ist nicht Waffengesetzkonform und darf in Deutschland nicht 'geführt' werden.
