SOG Small Fixed Blade Knife - Instinct Boot Knife, EDC Knife, Neck Knife, 2.3 Inch Full Tang Blade w/ Knife Sheath and Clip, 4in. x 1in. x 8.5in. (NB1012-CP) , Black

So chances are if you’re looking at this review, you wanted to know if the knife is good or not. I was very skeptical when getting this life because I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews from people saying that the sheep is so tight you can’t even get the knife out to people saying it’s so loose it just randomly falls out and people talking about how the knife really wasn’t the best and that it came super dull and was hard to get a edge and all different types of stuff overall, it seemed like it really wasn’t the best knife, but I just went ahead and got it because it was returnable. Let me just say this I don’t know if it was just my knife, but mine came almost razor sharp. I gave it a quick touchup and it was slicing through paper like a kitchen knife. And whenever I mean a quick catch-up, I mean going down a sharpening rod no more than three or four times it already came fairly sharp. I just wanted to get a little bit more out of it cause I know I could but overall it’s a good little knife. I mainly started using it for a self-defense knife. I did have a Smith & Wesson dagger, but I noticed that that was a lot more uncomfortable because of the 8 inch total size compared to this 5 inch size overall to really good little knife whether you’re using it for a boot knife for self-defense, knife or a belt knife or even a back up and one thing I like about it too is you don’t have to keep it on your belt. It’s super easy to put in your pocket and it’s so small that it’s pretty discreet whenever you do it to handle doesn’t stick out. Overall worth the money I and recommend for anyone wanting to get a good little knife

Great little knife for edc or for hunting. Fits really well in the hand of either small or fairly big hands. Sheath is fantastic. Nice clip for putting in the pocket and the knife stays secure but doesn't require a ton of force to remove from the sheath.

i needed a knife to begin my EDC at work and everywhere and anywhere, i wanted something small, but quality that was fixed blade, so i can get to it and have it ready to go right away with just one hand. this knife absolutely dose that better than anything else ive ever owned, this is my first fixed blade knife ive bought and i dont think ill ever buy anything else again, the sheath the metal, everything about it is perfect, i need to conceal this while wearing dress pants, a belt dress shoes and a tucked in shirt everyday to work without anyone being alarmed because they see the handle on my belt, so i clip it inside of my right side pocket with the clip rotated one click forward and its PERFECT it hides it JUST out of sight right behind the beginning of my pocket, after watching a few youtube vids on how i should carry a concealed EDC knife and spending a half hours in the mirror trying to find where i wanted to conceal it, for at work the pocket is just the best place, even thought i would have liked it on my belt sideways but it just obvi dose not sit totally flat and flush with my body because obviously its a straight knife and not bent, when im not at work though and inm going to a store it is on my belt because i care less if someone in wawa catches a little glimps of it. the grip feels just so amazing in your hand you just wanna hold it all of the time, but this is a tool for that time you might need it, not a toy to use for any excuse you can find a reason for including dumb stuff. if you carry this at work, KEEP IT CONCEALED AND OR IN YOUR POCKET dont go around showing everyone of your work buddies letting the whole world know what your working with or that your slightly prepared should the need to be ever arise, otherwise you might end up getting yourself in trouble with it, and than you might not be able to carry it there anymore and now your not prepared. after finding where i wanted to conceal it, i practiced my draw and putting it back in the sheath a good few times to get used to the motion and also to break in the sheath a little which didn't really break it in because its still really tight, which is a really good thing to me. this thing isnt going to come out by accident at all, no way no how, nicest knife i have ever owned by a long shot and the price just makes it that much better, not a single regret of purchase here.,

I rated 4 stars for 2 reasons: 1) my sheath came with a glob of adhesive on the back side of the ratchet for the belt clip. I was able to remove most of it with goof off, but still unsightly and suggests poor quality control. 2) The sheath is an awesome idea, but could be executed better, and it just looks and feels kind of cheap. I like that the belt clip can be spun 360° to clip on at any angle, but I don't like the clip itself at all. It deeply scratched my leather belt, and left an imprint of the screw holding it onto the ratchet piece on the sheath. The knife is held in very tightly, which is a good thing. But it's difficult to draw the knife without pulling it and the entire sheath from whatever it's clipped to, if it's not clipped to something thick. A thicker non leather belt would probably hold it nicely, but clipping it into a pocket doesn't hold the sheath tightly enough to easily draw just the knife. I have practiced drawing with a backwards motion that catches the sheath on the edge of my pocket so I can draw just the knife. An inconvenient workaround that I would not want to count my life on in any kind of defense situation. Makes me hesitant to use it as a EDC with this sheath. Now for the good parts: *The knife itself is great, there isn't anything that I don't like about it. *For its small length, it has a nice weight to it. Feels solid. *It's thick enough to be strong and sturdy, but not overly thick to feel awkward for. It feels good in my hand. *The knife is balanced great. *Arrived nice and sharp. *The finger grooves and handle have a nice feel, and gives me confidence that I can maintain a firm grip. *The finish is very good, not cheap looking. I am no kind of expert on knives, but for the price I'm happy with this knife, even though I'm not too thrilled with the sheath. I would recommend looking elsewhere if the sheath is an important factor in deciding which knife to purchase.

Excelente

Un petit couteau, très pratique très coupant et facile à aiguiser ! Un SOG garantie à vie

Me agradó mucho el diseño, el tamaño es el correcto para el uso que pienso darle.

Le couteau est arrivé avec un manque d'aiguisage assez flagrant. En outre le kydex est de piètre qualité.

Excelente EDC pero no mucho o nada de filo cuando sale del empaque. pero ya afilada guarda el filo bien.
