Just came out of a local knife shop ... we went in to find a folder for my fiancee. It will be her first knife, she's never carried before, so I had *no* idea what she would like. (Of course, she loves William Henry's shell-inlaid folders, but when I've got $500 to throw around ...)
Anyway, we look through the usual suspects ... Benchmades, Gerbers, Spydercos, CRKT's ... and nothing "speaks" to her. Then, the guy behind the counter brings out the SOG Titanium Vision. She's skeptical at first (as this is a pretty big knife), but she *loves* it. Loves how the blade comes out, loves how it fits her hand. We walk out of the mall, and she says "Geez, I want a *KNIFE*!!" I *never* thought I'd hear my dear fiancee say that. Thank you, SOG!!
So, I have some e-mails in the works to ppl selling them, and hopefully, she'll have one shortly. As I'm sure has happened to other people, I didn't really think about SOG when it came to folders -- SOG has been, to me, a fixed-blade kind of company. But *wow*, that Vision is a great piece ... and one that makes my fiancee *want* to own a knife!! Again, thanks.
