Will I really enjoy it?

I have the chance to buy a SOG X-ray Vision in ATS-34. I had a couple of questions for the more enlightened SOG owner. I have only ever handled two SOG's a fixed blade and a folder and am most comfortable with Benchmade's axis lock and Spyderco's caged ball bearing lock. From what I understand the ARC lock is similar in function and strength but what I was wondering is are how strong are the steel liner and how much flex is in it? I'm not one of those guys who pry's with his knife but I don't want to feel flex just from a heavy grip. Also does anyone make an aftermarket pocket clip or know of another type of clip that is compatible?

I don't have an x-ray vision, but I do have a Visionary II, Vulcan, mini Vulcan and Spec Elite II. All of them have the
arc lock which i find smoother than my benchmade and rock solid. I do not have any "flex" that I am aware of.
Can't say about the clip, SOG uses a built in type on some models and a basic 3 screw external type on others.

step up into the VG10 bladed folding SOGs and youll have no worries. Just got my first Vulcan today and am in shock at how good it is! The blade is SICK! The first and only SOG folder Ive ever been blown away by let alone liked. Id save for the Vulcan with full stainless liners, an all metal arc lock and one beast of a slab of VG10 for a blade
