I had my current one for about a year and no complaints. Well some complaints, but not of quality. No blade play with mine.

It is what it is. It's a very lightweight, inexpensive AO folder. Yes, SOG blades will develop some bladeplay, but I seriously think people should calm down about a little side-to-side wiggle. It doesn't effect the cutting ability.
I have the Aegis, flash II and Trident and they're all very reliable folders.
I will level one criticism against the system though, and that is after a lot of hard use, my trident's AO has stopped working very well. It was never a very strong spring to begin with, but over time I think a lot of debris has built up inside the lock and pivot and the assist fails to open the blade effectively.
I'm sure it would improve if I just took it apart and cleaned it. Also, I'm sure I've abused the knife on several occasions.
