I've been looking for the 'perfect' EDC knife and finally found what I was looking for: The SOG Flash 1 with SOG Assisted technology--like a switchblade, but not. It allows one to open the knife very fast if needed in an emergency situation.
It took a bit of practice to get it to open smoothly (and I think the spring might have been a bit stiff as well), and the tumb stud really digs in (on my thumb anyway), but I have the hang of it now--so watch out! It weights nearly nothing, clips securely and hangs low in the pocket. And it is razor sharp out of the box.
Here's the description & specs for those interested:
"The new Sog Flash has the new SAT opening (SOG Assisted Technology). This mechanism helps propel the blade open once the operator has initiated the one-handed opening action. They're fast as lightning, safe, and provide an extremely strong blade lock. The bolt action lock is easily released with a sliding button. SOG also had the foresight to incorporate an additional safety lock that gives added security when the blade is closed. The handles of the Flash are molded from glass reinforced Zytel and are contoured with a new ergonomic sensibility that makes the knife a pleasure to use. SOG has also incorporated a new ambidextrous clip device that is easily interchanged. This bayonet-mounted clip extends from the end of the hand for the lowest discreet carry possible. Specifications: Blade length 2 1/2", Overall length 6", AUS 6 Stainless Steel with a RC of 56-57."
The coolest little knife I've ever owned!
