nic knives, although i am partial to smaller knives, i do like them both.
now, for comparisions...
the NV has a shiny blade, the x-ray is satin.
the NV is quite a bit tighter and harder for the blade to open than the x-ray.
the x-ray will open with a flick of the wrist when holding the lock "open", the NV is not opening unless you use the thumb stud(the x-ray is 100% times smoother. i assume the NV will loosen up with usage and after a "break-in" period.
the NV "feels" quite a bit heavier, but it is bigger.
the handles on the NV is a bit nicer than the x-ray and has a better non slip grip feel to them.
all in all, i like the mini x-ray better(if only the handles were the same as the NV and the blade had the polished look:).
these are only my opinions of these knives. both are quality and have a good feel to them.
after being a faithfull follower of cold steel for years, i am finally purchasing other brands and finding that the cold steel knives are not all they are advertised as being(although i do like the tanto series)

UPDATE!
i just loosened the "tightness" on the NV a bit and it is now as smooth as the x-ray:)
i wish the mini x-ray knives had the same handles as the NV and a polished "straight" blade as an option. any future plans?
 
Hi Wayne,

Glad you received your knives and enjoy them. I, too, wish there was a "Mini Night Vision" or even a "Mini SOG Vision." Maybe some year in the future? :)

Yah, about the same time that I get that (Deluxe) Pocket PowerLock that I've been wanting SOG to come out with?.:D.
 
Hey Dann,

Ok...You wait for this "Dlx Pocket PowerLock" the same way you're waiting for my Night Vision. Hold your breath while you're at it. ;)
 
Ron,

:eek:.:eek:. I used to be able to hold my breath for about 3 minutes!, but now that I'm "older" (48, in-case you're wondering), I'm lucky enough to breathe at-all!.:D.

You've got ten years on me. Though I'm still breathing ok, I'm working on on the walking/sitting thing (pain free).

Never mind, everyone...just a couple of geriatrics jabbering here.
 
what kind of thread did this turn out to be...
i just turned the BIG 40 this past week. man, do i feel different:)
would SOG, by chance, have a B'day knife for me , LOL!
 
Sorry Wayne. :o We're just a bunch of smucks!

[Making a big deal publicly clearing my throat.] Let us all return this thread to the topic Wayne started!
 
can't blame a guy for trying...
so, i just ordered a full size x-ray vision to go with the mini x-ray...(along with some other goodies i am sure no one would be interested in:)
