I really like the looks of the ak 47...im just wondering how it compares to the recon 1.
I like the Flash II's... good knives for what you're paying, IMO.
But to make a suggestion, for strong lock, assisted opening, 3.5" blade, G10 handles, and half serrations, the Benchmade Barrage jumps out... it's got the Axis-Assist mechanism. But it's around $120 most places, I believe...

SOG Flash II is too cool for school and it is changeable when in the hands of someone with talent and skill. You lucky, telepathic, man you. Oooooooh yeaaaaaaaa!![]()
It looks like you are new to this. It's OK, we all were at one time. Your SOG will come in handy, I would keep it and (use) it. My advice is to save up your cash for better knives for later purchases. There will be times when you are glad you kept the Flash for stuff you don't want to use your more expensive knives for.
Well said. We all started in the "under $50" range, moved to the $50-$100" and from there it's just downhill. If your knife is going to be a true user, save up for a good one. I have tried kershaws, spydercos, and benchmades, but what does it for me in terms of hard use is Emerson. A bit pricey, but a no nonsense design and terrific ergos. It will take anything you throw at it and then some, is easy to sharpen, and is made right here in the US. Whatever you choose, just know, it won't be your last.
