Great lightweight knife. Clip not super tight.
4 Stars
Great lightweight knife. Clip not super tight.
Great lightweight little pocket knife. Lost my previous SOG pocket knife which I loved, and found out it was discontinued when I went to buy another one. This one had a lot of good reviews so thought I'd give it a shot.The knife itself is great. I was actually surprised with how little it weighs, but still seems very sturdy. Body is nice and I actually kinda like the different feel of the material. Easy and snappy to open and shut. Blade has a nice edge and is nice and solid like my previous SOG.My only complaint and the one thing keeping this from 5 stars is the clip. The clip doesn't seem as tight as previous pocket knives or multitools I've owned. It's not like wiggle lose on the handle body, but doesn't seem to grip my pocket that well. It's literally almost no effort for the knife to slide out of where it's clipped. This just seems like a super easy way for it to just fall out somewhere and you not even notice.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent grip and ergonomics
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2018
My SOG Traction Clip Point came today.
After the dud that was the Fielder (wood grain handle, not yet handled the black variant), imo, I am pleasantly surprised by this inexpensive folder.

It is definitely what I would consider to be a solid edc; solid build, excellent grip and ergonomics, it's lightweight, has a solid lock back design, AND comes with a deep carry clip.

A big plus is that the clip is matte black and short so it doesn't advertise to the world that you have a pocket knife.

The blade is solid, it came with a good edge, so I only took a ceramic rod to it, and it is arm shaving sharp without much effort.

It actually reminds me of my Spyderco Byrd Cara Cara 2, with the added benefit of the deep carry clip.

All that with a lifetime warranty from SOG is hard to beat in this price range. I definitely recommend picking one up.

Lieferung, wie immer top.

Das Messer ist für seine Grösse aussergewöhnlich leicht, dennoch konnte ich keine Schwachpunkte bei der Stabilität feststellen.
Das man weiß,das man ein Messer niemals zum hebeln, oder als schraubendreher missbrauchen sollte, ist bei dieser Aussage, Voraussetzung.

Es war schon im auslieferungszustand gut geschärft, nach einer kurzen Behandlung mit einem lederriemen, fliegen die haare nur so vom arm.
Auch ein frei gehaltenes Blatt Papier konnte ohne haken und reissen, geschnitten werden.
Mein Fazit, das traction von sog, ist ein leichtes, nicht zu kleines Messer, was die Bezeichnung edc Messer mehr als verdient, wird nicht mein letztes Messer dieser Serie bleiben.

Ganz klare kaufempfehlung von mir...
