I'm not a big fan of logos in the first place, but if SOG wants me to walk around with that billboard hanging on my pocket there's gonna have to be some kinda sponsorship involved.
Great review Nick... I was wondering when this little review would pop up... and I'm impressed and kind of appalled at how deep your backlog must be! Keep up the great work friend, see you here and on reddit. And again, Congrats on tying the knot.
I bought one when i took a trip and didnt bring a blade in my luggage. I also got a deal on the display model. It is my beater for car stuff or home repairs. I actually just used it twice this week. Had to scrape metal off a window frame to replace the glass. I also lent it my wife so she could do yard work ect. Afterwards i cleaned it all up. No damage ect. I did thin out the bevel on my wet stones. Made all the difference
I use a black out version of this for daily use cus it is such a beater knife for me and it's 440 steeel if I remember corrct for the blade witch is east to sharpen for edc
I just picked this knife up today at their HQ for $18. So far, I am ok with it. Time will tell. Thanks for the review.. Btw I have had excezma since I was a baby. It sucks. But for me, wearing gloves makes it worse. All that trapped heat flair's me up.
Nick Shabazz That makes no sense. Why would nick upload things so far out of order of filming. and don't give me any of that honeymoon backlog nonsense. it's all lies anyway. kgb are nkt allowed to get married
Chef_Nick 302 for some reason that actually makes more since to me. Maybe because they have been making multitools longer or have more variety. Either way not a big deal just pointing it out.
I've had bad eczema since I was a kid in the 60's.. Weird but I never had it on my hands until the past few years.. I'll scratch my hands so bad at night, I wake up with them bleeding..The 1% hydrocortisone cream (hate the ointment) and a good skin moisturizer usually does the trick but I've had to get prescription creams too.. Back to SOG.. Yep, they make a lot of crap..I have the Visionary 2 in VG10 with the arc lock.. It has a foolish slight recurve but no big deal.. It's actually a decent knife..
I own the full size version of the salute in all black. The SOG name appears only on blade due to different pocket clip and scales. It's really not a bad knife. At least the variation I own isn't. I haven't carried it in years.
Sog isn't really a tool company. They got their start selling macv-sog Bowie replicas (hence the name) made by hattori. I think the expansion into "tactical" tools was largely a result of their popularity with mil/leo personnel, as well as what seems to be Mr. Frazier's (the founder) vision for the company. Get on point, shabazz ; p. It's a better first knife than the paraframe, at least - if not by a wide margin.
I carry this knife every single day. n i have for about 7 year's now. I sharpen it like every night. It is very very sharp. I own alot of sog knives n love every one of them.
I always hear that backlocks can’t/ aren’t/ are difficult to make smooth. I get it and it’s true. At that price it’s hard. The only reason i commented on this video is because i would like to suggest trying out the Steel Will Gekko. Its a beast of a strong knife with a backlock that’s marvelous. (Mine at least) Plus it has a uncommon way to do the backlock. Thanks for the awesome videos l, keep them coming your doing good. Congratulations to your wedding!
This was first knife that I bought when I started getting into collecting and carrying a knife a couple of years ago. Out of the box it was way too tight and stiff and after trying to adjust it and work it in after a few hours of flipping it open and closing it the night of purchase the thumb stud broke off. Never even attempted to adjust it, it just broke off completely. I returned it and picked up a spyderco tenacious. I know some other sogs and there multitools are good, but this one left a bad taste in my mouth.
Surprised you gave it as many good points as you did, I thought you were gonna tear it a new one for sure. I'm still not a big fan of SOG and I don't think this changed my mind. P.S. that clip is all sorts of terrible, all the people that complain about ZT's branding need to look at that abomination and see that it could, most definitely, always be worse.
Yeah, Nick's been moonlighting as a Urologist, and forgot about the glove until he started the video. I bought one of these years ago, gave it away years ago. There's better blister pack knives that have come out in the last 5 years.
SOG's habit of sticking their name on everything in such obnoxious ways is one reason I've stopped buying from them. They had one model a while back where the handle *WAS* a giant "SOG."
Nick - I wear black gloves when I have an eczema outbreak. I highly recommend, as they provide much speed and little drag.
"Sal-yoo-tay" bugged me a lot more than it should.
Agree. Get help.

..do you show off your picketknife often? Lmao, what a cringy concern
@@jamesstephenson2346 Speaking of cringy, one word- "proofread"
I like that knife's drop point design, you always make good in depth reviews
Knowing nick, he has probably only had eczema one time in his life and just has 200+ videos with eczema backlogged
he prob got stabbed by this knife I hate this company
@@SergeyKasimovcool story weirdo

Why would you use a pocketknife for yard work? Do you not believe in the proper tool for the job?
I use a black out version of this for daily use cus it is such a beater knife for me and it's 440 steeel if I remember corrct for the blade witch is east to sharpen for edc
The action on mine is great for a backlock. I can flick it out like a liner lock. I wonder if it just needs a break in or i got lucky
made me laugh with the joke at the end :)

Who makes this knife again?
5:15 "not a brilliant plan". Good phrase. Will steal.
Why is it 47€ in Finland?
🤣🤣🤣 sal u tay. 👍👍👍
Good review though,thanks Nick for the knife flick,get it?
regarding the thumb stud, saying "i've not seen this before" ... remember the recent hinderer slippy?
D BT Salute did come before the hinderer slippy however
TheMawsJawz TM but his review didn't...
But it was filmed way before.
D BT old vid, recent upload. Man just got married remember, he needs some content while he's away
Nick Shabazz That makes no sense. Why would nick upload things so far out of order of filming. and don't give me any of that honeymoon backlog nonsense. it's all lies anyway. kgb are nkt allowed to get married
I have the exact same knife but I cannot open it one-handed like he does in the video my knife is very sticky in the beginning what should I do
Shabazz me sideways.
SOG is a knife company that makes multitools. Not a tool company that makes knives. JS
Kyle Burchard yeah that's like calling Gerber a multi tool company. I just rolled with it.
Chef_Nick 302 for some reason that actually makes more since to me. Maybe because they have been making multitools longer or have more variety. Either way not a big deal just pointing it out.
Kyle Burchard maybe you've had more Gerber multi tools then knives and maybe you've had more sog knives then multi tools
Can't really blame Nick, he's not so much into fixed blades.
Good review!

Please review the SOG Flash 2!!
Sincerely hope Nick won't. SOG's assist spring is trick as heck to put back into its slot. More or so like Benchmade's similar mechanism.
Looks like a large mnandi with a little handle contouring.
SOG. Mmmm, well.
That hat, mmmm well....

That Dog, mmm well

Nick is a big fan of the word "cloying".
Sal-you-tay, you say....
Ulfric Stormcloak skyrim is for the nords
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes me wish for a nuclear winter
Tunnel snakes rule!
picked one up at walmart for $2. No I didn't steal it.
I carry this knife every single day. n i have for about 7 year's now. I sharpen it like every night. It is very very sharp. I own alot of sog knives n love every one of them.
Nick, try some colloidal silver for you hand when it starts coming on. Get it from your chemist/ drug store.
Never was a fan of SOG. I'm alright with branding on a knife, but there is a limit.
Why do you think your opinion on the brand matters?
Allergy wedding ring o dear

i gave mine away too LOL
Only good SOG is the seal team fixed blade.
Sog is not a tool company dude it was first a knife company get your facts straight
im selling one of those
Saluté?
SOG's habit of sticking their name on everything in such obnoxious ways is one reason I've stopped buying from them. They had one model a while back where the handle *WAS* a giant "SOG."
This is more like a 1 finger salute.
slathered. lol
First... Boom... Life goals
This was my second knife... was not impressed.
