Very Disappointed
Already owning several assisted opening knives (3 of them from SOG), I was looking forward to this one. When I opening the package I was pleased by the weight and balance and the feel of the handle, etc.. My disappointment set in as soon as I closed the knife and attempted to open it with the thumb stud. I simply could not get it open with either hand (and yes, the safety was off). I ended up having the grasp the blade with one hand and the handle with the other and even then it was quite difficult to open. I lubricated it and tried to break it in, but nothing helped in the least. It feels like there is some sort of a defect in the mechanism that catches and sticks when trying to open it. This knife is harder to open with two hands than any knife I own. Pretty much defeats the whole point of assisted opening and even makes two-handed use so frustrating that this will get tossed in a drawer or the garbage since I foolishly broke down and tossed the packaging when I opened it. I won't take another chance on a SOG unless I buy it in a store where I can try it out first. Presumably poor quality control because the design of the knife is very nice on paper. Very disappointed.
