Great little knife

Small and so lightweight a knife that you forget it is in your pocket. Opens quickly with little effort and is a super slicer. It came razor sharp out of the box. I used to carry a larger knife but now this is my EDC. Excellent quality blade and a good looker as well. You cannot go wrong when you purchase this knife.

Favorite Ever

After over six years, mine has worked flawlessly, after lubing with pure krytox teflon grease - I'd advise the company to use this for every new assembly, as it greatly expedites the spring assist. I have never needed the lock, but it is totally unobtrusive, adds no weight or weak point, could be of infrequent benefit, so leave it alone! The flip works far better than other complications, always locks fully open, and is easy enough to close one-handed. This steel has held an edge better than others like *RKT, my next favorite. Both have stayed rock solid, with the torx screw breakdown eminently user friendly. Only the rosewood has finally chipped at the thin end on one side, but as the sides are flat, I plan to epoxy seal some walnut and just swap out. Love the clean style aesthetics, practical blade, and avoidance of the Rambo-tactic-excesses of other designs, which rarely provide utilitarian function.

Twitch II

The knife is lightweight yet well constructed. It is just the right size to carry in my pocket on a daily basis for those unexpected tasks needing a sharp blade. The pocket clip doubles as a money clip.

Three Mods Away From Perfect

1. The finish is slippery, but easy to remove. 2.The safety is a bad idea, but easy to to remedy. One drop of super glue and you're good to go. 3.The knife needs an owner who can lube and adjust it to their preference. Out of the box it can disappoint, but tweek it and you have a great pocket flipper.

Returned it.

The SOG Twitch ll was to be an EDC KNIFE. Out of the box there were issues. The blade had a lot of side to side movement when deployed. As this is a "value priced" knife, I suppose I could have lived with that. The deal breaker was the safety. It is located on the spine, just behind the lock. I have no use for it. I have carried a Kershaw Leek for years and never engaged the safety. Never was an issue. Never opened while clipped to my pocket. What good is a safety if the knife is designed as a one-handed, assisted opener? I figured I'd just leave it in the "off" position. Well, it kept engaging while in my pocket. Don't know if it was rubbing on the inside of the pocket or what, but I'd attempt to use the kicker and found it was locked closed several times. I returned the knife.

Quality varies greatly in each knife produced

My Dad got me my first Twitch and it was a great knife, the blade, the quality and grain of the handle, the clip. All just great. And then...I lost it. So I decided to get another of the same and I was so disapointed. The quality of the second knife was so poor, the grain of the wood had no character, the metal blade looked more poorly made, overall it was just more poorly made than the first knife of the exact same model, SO I am sending it back and ordering another one to see if IT will pass muster...

quality disappointing

My son gave me the Twitch 2 for Christmas. I was excited since i've never had a SOG knife before. When i flipped it open, it felt like the blade was loose and grainy. When i closed it, the blade never centered correctly. You could easily nudge the blade side to side while closed. If i tried to tighten the blade, it wouldn't even flip all the way open. I still use the knife but it was not a good first impression with SOG.

Wanted to love this knife

I put the Twitch II on my Christmas list and my daughter got it for me. Love the size, the look, the feel, etc. But functionally this knife has been really disappointing. Using the flipper the blade will not fully deploy. I tried adjusting, but it still sticks. I believe the primary reason is there is too much tension on the lockback mechanism, which puts too much pressure on the joint and keeps the blade from going to full lock. In addition, the pressure required to release the lockback is just annoying. Recently I noticed the assisted opening coil spring has started to click. That's a nitpick, but also annoying. Another nitpick is that the opening lock switch has lost stiction and now it slides back and forth, which is also annoying when you want to open the knife, but the lock has slid into place. I have a pretty large collection of knives from many different makers. Unfortunately this was my first SOG and it's a lemon. I know SOG has a good reputation so perhaps I'll shake it off and give them another try.
