I had one quick question - I just bought on eof the satin SOG Tacs, and the handle inserts appear to be molded plastic - I was under the impression that they were G-10.
It's not a big deal to me, but perhaps Chris can clarify what the inserts are made of?
All in all, I am very impressed with the fit and finish of this knife. It locks up tight, fires hard and functions perfectly. I am very happy with it thus far.
I was disappointed to see the price went up though - I really think SOG was hitting a big hole in the automatic knife market at the original price - there just isn't a quality offering in the just under $100 range. There is no reason that a knife needs to cost more just because it's an automatic.
In any case, this knife is still a sound value and I'm very excited to start carrying mine.
