SOG TwitchII
Anyone tried a SOG TwitchII?
I like the Kershaw Blackout and thought i might try a SOG assisted opener.

SOG has been around for awhile. In the old days they made quality heavy knives. They had a folder called the Tomcat and when you put it in your pocket you walked lopsided it was so heavy. The old Brochures would show a large FB in a vise and a .45 bullet hitting the knife edge dead center and splitting in half. Now there knives all seem to look alike and they use lighter materials and I believe AUS-6. I taked to Ron once at a show on why every SOG FB had serrations and he wasn't quite sure.but I think last year they came out with 2 models without serrations. That is about my experience with SOG since they never really floated my boat.

My experience is limited to their "SwitchPliers" it's a great toy to impress the natives with but, doesn't really fit my needs . It's most interesting feature is a "blade" that fits diagonally in any 1/4" drive socket. This is an extremely clever way of adding socket capabilities in a compact design, and the assorted other ways attempted by other companies usually require seperate adapters that take more room and get lost easily. This really is a great idea that deserves more credit [The drawback? Carrying sockets is NOT conveient ] The ability to use a wide variety of 1/4" sockets, extensions, universals, etc is a very handy feature. This belongs in the "Why didn't I think of that" catagory.
