Sog knife

[clfergus]

Anyone have a SOG blink or bink...small lockback that is spring assisted? Wondering how you like it for a 30.00 knife

Don't have that particular knife but have a number of SOG's and they are good knifes. 30 bucks is not a bad price for that knife.

I don't have that one either, I do have a Flash 2 and a Spec Elite 2. The Flash is assisted and the Spec Elite is not, to be honest I can open them both in about the same time. I looked for quite some time at the Twitch and Twitch XL, basically a larger version of the Blink. The one thing that gave me pause was the smoothness of the grip. While it's not polished, I worried that if my hand was wet or sweaty it could be hard to hold on to. The clip would probably help, but for the money I decided to go with something else. This is by no means an expert opinion, just my FYI, I got my Flash 2 off Ebay for about $36, it's bulkier than the Blink and has a safety but is over an inch longer. Not that size is everything

I've got the blink. It was a little too bulky to put on my keys, but has a lot of great features. Problem I found was that it's such a small blade; the spring assist and locking systems as well as the with on the handle are a little over kill. I have no doubt this thing could survive a trip to hell and back but it's not practical for me

Twitch 2 works for me for everyday-solid and dependable-haven't had a grip problem-holds edge well
GO Colts!!!!

Picked up the Blink. I really like it. I think it will replace my Kershaw Chive as my everyday carrier. I like shape of the blade and how thin it is.

My poor chive, I let some guy with a grinder sharpen it while I was in TN and he screwed it up. Rounded off my point.
