SOGSalute Mini Tactical Knife- EDC Folding Pocket Knife with 3.1 Inch Blade, Adjustable Thumb Stud and Low Carry Bayonet Clip, Bead Blasted (FF1001-CP)

As a knife collector, I have a Kershaw, Spyderco, and several others but nothing IMO compares to the craftsmanship, weight, blade sharpness, locking mechanism, and overall solid firm feel of a SOG in your hand. I keep trying others but always come back to SOG. I even have the keychain model which I use more than anything.

Bought 2 of these as Christmas gifts and they have been amazing kinves! Locking system is strong and reliable, blade is scary sharp from the factory, and the belt clip is on the bottom for easy access. Almost bought the original Salute but decided on this when I realized how big the Salute was. This is not a tiny knife, it is about average for an everyday knife. Looks amazing too!

I like the size, sharpness, heft and feel of the knife. The thumb stud on the blade is worthless, I took it off after several attempts to open the knife with my thumb, I can open the knife with 1 hand by using 3 fingers, I pinch the top of the blade with my thumb and index fingers and use my middle finger to push down on the handle, the knife opens easy but not a flick opener, if you want a fast opening knife get a Kershaw they are as fast as a switch blade, but not as strong as the SOG, I wanted a strong utility pocket knife and this SOG fits the bill and was sharp enough to shave arm hair out of the package, I carry 2 knives, one clipped in my back pocket and one in my front pocket, the Kershaw is faster opening, lighter and just as sharp, the SOG will replace its bigger brother as my back pocket knife that I lost, this one feels just as tough as it’s bigger brother only about a inch shorter, I am well pleased, it a great utility knife but it isn’t a switchblade or fast opening knife.

I purchased ne 2 years ago and recently gave it to a hunting buddy. Great knife, holds an edge, and multi use. Working around the house, on the boat, or hunting, this knife works.

Small and convenient to carry and a super knife from SOG through Amazon. I have others from them and I am very glad I was able to get this from Amazon. It stays sharp and I cut packages open often so it is with me all the time. I like it profile and how easy I can use it. Oh the lock release location is better than most others. I don't have to get my fingers near the cutting edge of the blade. Paul

Very nice design, grip and sharp blade. I found this knife to be almost impossible to open with one hand, tough on the thumb. Hope it will loosen up after prolonged use. I really like the design and heft.

It's a relatively small and lightweight, seems well built, but the ergonomics of the knife are quite bad. The action feels gritty and it's difficult to flip the blade out if you have a larger hand. It does not feel that good in the hand, but the blade is extremely sharp. Overall, not bad for the value.

Looks great and was razor sharp. It sticks really bad when you try to release the blade to fold back up. But maybe that will get better with use. Overall good value for the money.
