SOG Small Fixed Blade Knife - Instinct Boot Knife, EDC Knife, Neck Knife, 2.3 Inch Full Tang Blade w/ Knife Sheath and Clip, 4in. x 1in. x 8.5in. (NB1012-CP) , Black

So chances are if you’re looking at this review, you wanted to know if the knife is good or not. I was very skeptical when getting this life because I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews from people saying that the sheep is so tight you can’t even get the knife out to people saying it’s so loose it just randomly falls out and people talking about how the knife really wasn’t the best and that it came super dull and was hard to get a edge and all different types of stuff overall, it seemed like it really wasn’t the best knife, but I just went ahead and got it because it was returnable. Let me just say this I don’t know if it was just my knife, but mine came almost razor sharp. I gave it a quick touchup and it was slicing through paper like a kitchen knife. And whenever I mean a quick catch-up, I mean going down a sharpening rod no more than three or four times it already came fairly sharp. I just wanted to get a little bit more out of it cause I know I could but overall it’s a good little knife. I mainly started using it for a self-defense knife. I did have a Smith & Wesson dagger, but I noticed that that was a lot more uncomfortable because of the 8 inch total size compared to this 5 inch size overall to really good little knife whether you’re using it for a boot knife for self-defense, knife or a belt knife or even a back up and one thing I like about it too is you don’t have to keep it on your belt. It’s super easy to put in your pocket and it’s so small that it’s pretty discreet whenever you do it to handle doesn’t stick out. Overall worth the money I and recommend for anyone wanting to get a good little knife

i needed a knife to begin my EDC at work and everywhere and anywhere, i wanted something small, but quality that was fixed blade, so i can get to it and have it ready to go right away with just one hand. this knife absolutely dose that better than anything else ive ever owned, this is my first fixed blade knife ive bought and i dont think ill ever buy anything else again, the sheath the metal, everything about it is perfect, i need to conceal this while wearing dress pants, a belt dress shoes and a tucked in shirt everyday to work without anyone being alarmed because they see the handle on my belt, so i clip it inside of my right side pocket with the clip rotated one click forward and its PERFECT it hides it JUST out of sight right behind the beginning of my pocket, after watching a few youtube vids on how i should carry a concealed EDC knife and spending a half hours in the mirror trying to find where i wanted to conceal it, for at work the pocket is just the best place, even thought i would have liked it on my belt sideways but it just obvi dose not sit totally flat and flush with my body because obviously its a straight knife and not bent, when im not at work though and inm going to a store it is on my belt because i care less if someone in wawa catches a little glimps of it. the grip feels just so amazing in your hand you just wanna hold it all of the time, but this is a tool for that time you might need it, not a toy to use for any excuse you can find a reason for including dumb stuff. if you carry this at work, KEEP IT CONCEALED AND OR IN YOUR POCKET dont go around showing everyone of your work buddies letting the whole world know what your working with or that your slightly prepared should the need to be ever arise, otherwise you might end up getting yourself in trouble with it, and than you might not be able to carry it there anymore and now your not prepared. after finding where i wanted to conceal it, i practiced my draw and putting it back in the sheath a good few times to get used to the motion and also to break in the sheath a little which didn't really break it in because its still really tight, which is a really good thing to me. this thing isnt going to come out by accident at all, no way no how, nicest knife i have ever owned by a long shot and the price just makes it that much better, not a single regret of purchase here.,

So far, I'm quite impressed with its small size. It is sharp and concealable. I'm still trying to get used to having it on me due to the amount of activity, training, and unknown locations.

Posted below is my husbands review as it is his gift. Retention sheath is a tight fit. I hope over time it will lose some of the tension, but not too much. You can't just draw the knife without the sheath wanting to follow. You definitely have to use counter pressure with your thumb when separating the blade from a new sheath. I purchased it because of the ability to orient the 360 degree sheath. I was searching for a belt knife that would carry horizontally/parallel on my belt rather than vertically. There was nothing misleading about the length of the blade, however now I have it I wish I would have purchased a bit longer blade length. I am having some trouble in adapting my grip to the three finger locations on the handle. With the blade forward protruding from the thumb side of my grip I can position the knife in a stable manner. However in the reverse position with the blade exiting the base palm of my grip my pinky lies across the blade itself. If I lower the handle to fit my pinky in the first notch closest to the blade I have to move my index finger aside to apply downward thumb pressure to guarantee secure pressure. Next time I would consider purchasing a bit longer blade, and if there are grip cutouts I might opt for four instead of three finger locations. After @ a week of use the sheath has reduced the tension and I am pleased with the new draw tension. In regards to the grip I have excepted that the knife is originally designed for a forward thrust held grip (with the blade protruding forward from the thumb). With this in mind the design of the handle fits perfectly in the center of the palm of my, maybe not your, hand when it is drawn from the sheath. I don't have to do any adjustments, its right every time. When you draw the knife with your thumb creating reverse pressure on the sheath, as it draws out the operators thumb rests directly on the friction notches cut into the top of the blade. The rest falls into place. I still would reconsider on my next knife purchase if I really need finger locations on the knife handle.

Small compact and o2 steel, it’s a great fixed blade 8/10 would buy again

Everyday carry boot knife. Perfect fit and feel.

Un petit couteau, très pratique très coupant et facile à aiguiser ! Un SOG garantie à vie

Me agradó mucho el diseño, el tamaño es el correcto para el uso que pienso darle.

Top de linha. Vale cada centavo.

Le couteau est arrivé avec un manque d'aiguisage assez flagrant. En outre le kydex est de piètre qualité.
