The very nice, but very pricey SOG Pentagon OTF.

Beautiful blades - "Switchblade knives" are legal to own, but illegal to carry in Virginia (misdemeanor); check your state...

I have the SOG Seal XR Flipper, it's worth every penny. I've really enjoyed it so far & will say it's one of my favorite EDC knives that I've carried. I'd by the Pentagon OTF just based off of the Seal XR .

Great review!! I had a Combat Troodon for a whole 2 days. The action was so stiff I could only open and close it a couple times before my hand wore out. Unacceptable to me, and not the first time I've heard of that issue. I think my next OTF will be a Guardian Tactical.

[chriscreel]

My experience was not good, when I took the knife out of the shipping box, the blade slid back into the handle, my guess came off track, told me they are doing inventory this month January 2023, so will be 3 weeks for exchange, and 20 business days for a refund.

I have a benchmade autocrat which is pretty similar and a similar price. I am very happy with it.

[DarthRambaldi]

I've loved SOG since the 90's. But that price is to high. If it were around $200 I'd buy one. I'll stick with Microtech for that price.

[outtodoubt]

Odd thing is, the dealer cost on these is maybe $5 or $6 less than the micro tech, but the MSRP is $100 less🧐. Not sure why they think we’d fork out just as much to put them on the shelf, have a much harder sale, and have a far smaller margin rather than just stock the MT’s and watch them walk out the door with ease. It is a nice looking knife, and sounds like it’s top quality, but man…they need to drop the dealer price and msrp if they want us to push these into the market.

I’ll stay with my cheaper ultratech and combat troodon.if anything that button looks a mile long!

[davidvermont]

I have both the SOG and the Microtech dirac and I like the former better.

[professorbland]

the grip is very comfortable and lockup is tight.

[nicholascoulter]

Is it too much to want a basic D2 OTF from a reputable company for less than $100?!?!

[tylerwarren]

I do like that there are slowly more and more OTF’s with different handle materials. Hogue, microtech, and Benchmade, and now SOG with G10 OTF’s. I’m digging it! Now for more Ti OTF’s and full CF or micarta… I know it’s doable, we have the technology lol.

(Update - don't buy this knife, wait for the V2) God I just love the look of this knife, just picked one up should be here in a couple days. Kinda took a gamble because there are very few reviews and it is a fairly new release, but mannn that's a sexy piece of metal right there! I hope I don't have the issues others seem to have with the blade becoming damaged after prolonged use. If it is, I'll be replacing it with a Guardian Tactical, while I save up for a Deadlock Model C 🔥

I'd love to see a bttd with this and the Dirac delta.

[Dvqwerty]

I had a Tac- R which uses the same pocket clip and is about 5.5 oz and just as thick. That pocket clip is one of the best i've used. It works really well, and i'd say it's comparable to spyderco's wire clip, only maybe a thicker piece of wire.

[studdaman]

I have it, it is very impressive with the lockup. It makes cool sounds. It has not failed to fire or retract so far. Hint, if you tap the button down after firing it, it will lockup even better. Like 99.9%. Things I do not like... it is heavy for an otf. The switch on mine is also crooked, and worst of all mine came dull as fuck! I had to make mine sharp myself with my Work Sharp onion machine. Now it is one of my favorite otf's. Still isnt taking the crown from my GT Recon Elite.

[beaverd]

Man that's a nice chunk of change for a sog. Admittedly, I don't watch a ton of sog reviews, but they seem to have improved since my early knife dsys.

[Ninjamohawk]

I wish they weren't out of stock already...

[bubba]

Can't legally carry them but thank you so much senor Dicey.

[Lakota]

My Dirac is is half that size, I would rather have that SOG.
