SOG vison worth it?

[Lurp]

I own the SOG X-ray Vision with the zytel handles and can say without a doubt this is my favorite knife I own and it gets the most EDC out of all the knives i own. I am contemplating since i like this knife so much that mabe i should get the SOG vision with the Titanium handles. I was wondering if the SOG vision is that much better than the SOG X-ray vision that its worth upgrading? Thanks.

Hey Lurp -to answer your question, get it, if not now, then later.

I see them occasionally for trade here, so that may be an option for you.

Here is a post I did a few minutes ago on another thread, that may be of interest to you.

It was posted concerning the question someone raised about the best knife they had under $250


Reasons:
1 - The Arc lock - just won't fail.
I am the worlds worst for having dirt/ lint/ Copenahagen..(yeah I know) or various grits in my pockets from wood working etc, and it just doesn't seem to get in the way of this lock, or at least has not so far.

2 - Built like a tank - I have literally driven nails with it. Sainless Liners/ Titaninum scales.

3 - ATS -34 Tanto blade

4 - It is soooo buttery smooth on the open close.

5 - 1 hand open close - even when I adjusted to where I could hold down the lock button to flick it closed, there is absolutely NO blade play left / right or otherwise.

6, Feels great in vertually whatever grip position I choose.

To be honest, this was the first killer production knife that I had. It was a gift from my Dad, and once I handled it - that's when I started digging in to find other quality manufacturers.

Actually, and this is the kicker, if I could figure out a way to round the blade spine without fearing I would totally screw it up, it would rival my Seb - for haf the cost - and that should say it all about how great a knife it is.


Don't want to sound like a commercial, but it is absolutely the finest folder SOG has ever made. I've had a bunch of them , and in my opinion none of their other flders compare to the quality, toughness, and usability (is that a word?) in the Vision.

Lurp, your X-Ray is a nice S.U.K*, the Vision is a full dress Hummer.............

And since this post will be my 1,000th, I would like to say it's been a pleasure to be a part of these forums since 2003.

Also, I wanted everyone to know that I just thought of this new knife term above, it must have been just for this 1,000th post.

So from now on, when someone ask you what kind of knife you have, please think of this new term and say S.U.K ! (if you have a S.U.K)

*S.U.K = Sport Utility Knife

Congratulations on your 1000th post, I'm sure all will agree that the SOG forum would not be the same without you. :thumbup:

Thank you Socintel, I have to say the same about you.

You have really made this place a much "funner" place...

And not only that, you are a wealth of information concerning SOG knives.
