SOG Knives Flash II Knife
Very disappointed

I gotta disagree with the other reviews. I had high expectations for a knife from SOG, but the construction and materials just don't cut it. I have owned a lot of knives from CRKT, Gerber, Kershaw, etc. The plastic handles on the Flash II look and feel like cheap plastic. Nothing near as substantial as the zytel on a cheaper CRKT. The blade isn't the greatest either, but I'll admit that my regular knife is the big CRKT M-16, so I'm used to a beefy blade. The overall construction just feels weak. And the triangular shape to the handle just feels weird in your hand and pocket. I bought it on a SAC deal, so I'm not out much, but it's getting 'spare' duty and l leave it in the truck door box.

You can get this knife with a Zytel handle (but not from BC as far as I can tell) instead of aluminum at some retailers. I have both, and while I agree that the plastic looks and feel wimpy it stand the test of time just fine in my experience.

He states in his review that the PLASTIC handles feel cheap while this page is clearly advertising ALUMINUM handles
