Love this knife to death! Been using Buck knives and other brands forever. Last year I tried a SOG Trident and loved it. Ended up losing it but bought this to replace it. Its a world of different from the original Trident. The casing nice as the rubber helps when your hands are wet. Only tried the glass breaker once (first time ever for me and scared the crap out of me), and worked well. The blade is sharp so the cord cutter worked REALLY well. Just make sure the blade lock is on before using the cord cutter (I made that mistake once already and felt like a complete idiot. Won't EVER make that mistake again).
The blade comes razor sharp and has thus far held its edge well. If you haven't noticed, the blade itself has a curve to it. This helps when cutting rope as the slight bend keeps the rope on the blade during sawing motions.
The SOG Assist is crazy strong. Knives I've using before (especially with Gerber) required a little wrist flick to make the blade come out really fast. The assist on this knife is so strong that the blade practically forces its way our after a small touch to the thumb nub. When I first got it, I was being especially careful with it as to not mar any of its surfaces. Not expecting such a strong assist, I tried to carefully open the blade with 2 hands. Holding the handle in my right hand and slowly pulled the blade with my left (spine, or dull side of the blade towards the palm of my left hand) the blade shot open with so much force that the blade slipped through my thumb and index finger and open straight past my left hand, slicing the palm of my left hand right open. Crazy thing, the only edge of the blade that touched me was the tip and the blunt spine. This just goes to show how sharp the blade tip is and how strong the SOG assist is.
This knife is solid and IMHO worth every penny.
