Cons: Ease of Opening, Handle Feel, Lock Ease of Use

sharpest knife I ever bought

The knife has a really slim profile, and is extremely sharp. My only issues that I found was that the space between the blade, and the handle create a possible pinch point in the process of folding it up. Also the thumb knob on the blade could be a bit taller, and larger in general to make it easier to open. Beyond that, the knife is really sharp, and has held a good keen edge even cutting paper, plastic, and paracord.

Best knife

This knife is the best in my collecting because of how durable and agile it is this is worth every penny.

Assist not really necessary

Carries deep and flat. Good, sharp blade. Weighs in at 74 gr. Surprisingly good in hand, but since it is thin steel all around, it might not be the best for prolonged use. Lockup seems solid with no play in the blade. The "assist" part is far from smooth. I think this is partly from a lack of polish where the back of the blade meets the lock. Been working the knife a little and it seems better now. Would be nice if SOG made a version without the spring and just a nail notch instead of thumblers. It would be lighter and without the "assist" which seems the weakest point of the design.

Cons: None

Basically like the knife . It is very lightweight good construction .It does not open as easily as I expected , it doesn't always open all the way unless you really push hard , I guess I was expecting it to open all the way by itself. All in all it is the slimest lightest knife I own you hardley feel it in your pocket .

It's a Sog ???

I have several Sog's. All of them have blade movement problems, except this one ( Slim Jim ). At first I liked this knife, now I don't. The blade will not stay closed... if you put it in your pocket it comes open and cuts into the pocket. It happened twice to me and now I will not touch this knife. Too bad because other than that it is a very good knife. The blade is great. I'm going to stick to Benchmade and forget about the Sog's.

Not a Fan

Just didn't like the feel of it and the deployment was awkward at best.

Awkward and sharp in the wrong places

I bought it for its slim profile and can't find a reason to carry it, or even use it because its so awfully sharp and angular in the hand or pocket. I tried to carry it for a week or so, thinking it would grow on my, but no there are so many better options.
