Tools and Hardware Reviews of SOG Specialty Knives & Tools TFSA-98 Flash II 1/2 Serrated, Black TiNi
Customer Review: Awesome lightweight knife!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just love this knife! A few of the things I really like about it are:
1. Lightweight.
2. Assisted opening.
3. Nice clip for deep/concealed carry.
4. Sharp/tough blade.
5. 1/2 serrated blade.
6. Black TiNi finish.
As for things I don't like:
1. ....can't think of any really.
I carry this knife every day and it is great for just that purpose. Does not have a metal liner in the handle, but that helps keep weight down and the knife still seems plenty stiff and tough for an every day carry multi-purpose knife. You can open the blade with the assisted opener, or manually if you like or if the opener were to break. This was my first assisted opener type knife and it took a few tries to get the hang of it (be careful the first few times!), but now I love that feature. It also has a safety lock. Highly recommended!
Customer Review: Awesome.
Summary: 5 Stars
I never leave home without this knife. Great for self defense or as a pocket knife. The hilt is as durable as I have ever seen and every mechanism was built to last. Previous reviewers have said that the action is fast, well they are right! If I have the knife clipped to my pocket so that only the clip is showing (essentially the knife is upside-down), then I can grab it, spin it so that my thumb is on the clip (right handed) and with a quick downward and forward thrust, the blade springs out, ready for anything. I actually put it down the front of my slacks so that I don't have to use my pocket space (they are usually filled with gadgets and flash drives, etc.). If I am wearing a belt or black slacks, then you can hardly see the clip, but the knife is always ready in a moments notice. Take it anywhere and nobody will know that it is there. Oh and it is razor sharp out of the box and I've never had it open accidentally, even without the safety catch; although, I have dropped the knife before and it has openned when the safety catch is off, so be careful. Great knife! I highly recommend.Customer Review: Blade Did Not Open
Summary: 1 Stars
I obviously have a defective unit because the blade is locked down and will not open. The blade safety is off but the safety slider does not quite cycle as clean as it should, meaning it is stuck in the "safe" position. Also got a Trident from SOG to see which I like better and it opens fine.
Quite surprised that a new knife from a "premium" manufacturer would arrive unable to open. You would think for the price they would at least have someone open and close each before packaging to make sure they work. Missing a small defect I could understand...but something so fundamental tells me quality control is grossly inadequate. What else did they miss?
Mine is going back for good.
Customer Review: Buy It !
Summary: 5 Stars
This knife is AWESOME.nothing fancy, very utilitarian, the pocket clip is WAY BETTER than most tacticals I have seen - it keeps it perfectly ready in my back pocket, but doesn't stick out, so it just looks like i have a pen next to my wallet. the lock is very positive, and the SAT is super sexy, you'll find yourself opening and closing it like you're 8 years old, it feels so cool.Not exactly a pretty knife, its much more at home in your hand or your pocket than in a display case, but so are most good TOOLS.If you're in the market for this type of knife, this is a good solid choice, five stars!Customer Review: Cuts rope really well.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this knife about a month ago, so far it has been very useful. It was very sharp when I got it out of the box which is good because, I am in the Navy and have to cut things quite often. So far I have cut numerous lines(ropes) and an oil boom. No I have not cut myself yet amazingly enough. It has remained sharp and I have not had to sharpen it... yet.
The assisted opening is pretty cool. All I have to do is unlock it and push on the thumb thingy a little and wallah open. Sometimes I forget to lock the knife when I put it in my pocket, and so far it hasn't opened in my pocket. That makes it really good if you have to cut something really fast.
The only complaint I have is that I work around salt water and the blade is rusty in some spots.
