Nice looking knife! 👍
Digging the yellow accents!
I think it's a real cool knife
Hey man not sure if you will read this comment but I'll give it a shot , you gave me a 15th birthday shout out way way way back in the early days of UA-cam well ......I'm 27 now how crazy is that just want to say thanks for that really was cool to me back then I'm delighted to see you are still uploading and have over half a million subs I used to love the butterfly knife videos back in the day I was crazy into them, anyway god bless man stay sharp :)
I have the Aegis, Aegis fl, Aegis flk, and the Aegis XR. 👌
Great video
Please do a cigar review please
I have skinny hands and their new locking system doesn't affect me. Though, I have the Trident AT and I'm not a big fan of the pocket clip. I wish the clip was a little sleeker. Besides that, so far I like the Trident AT.
I’ve looked at a ton of SOG knives and thought “If only this wasn’t assisted”
I mean... even strongly assisted knives are not that difficult to close with one hand... easier then a really stiff Lockback or slipjoint... the Leg method works but is a bit scary with knives as sharp as mine :P
I actually bought the SOG Flash AT-XR and removed the pivot spring. It turned it into a thumb stud assisted opener and a manual axis-lock closer. It's insane. SOG should have just removed this piece from the start.
Agreed, ive like this knife for awhile but never went for it because of the assisted opening
Don't find them particularly hard to close just had to many fail on me. Its not hard or expensive to make an smooth manual opening knife. If I want something quick ill buy an auto. Ya i have a deassisted blur but the detent is almost nonexistent
Agreed. Assisted knives are illegal where I live and most of the SOG knives I like are assisted, so I can't get them.
Not a fan of the shorter blade, but I enjoy the original very much. The updated Flash is on my radar though. Thanks for the vid!!!
This one has a longer blade by 0.1" than the original :)
Surprised that its not lighter
I really REALLY like the new SOG relaunch! All their knives look sleek, well designed, have that awesome axis lock and are also quite Sheeple friendly! So a win in my books! GO SOG! :D
I bought this knife last week,mine is green.. great EDC knife
Nice, sadly illegal to own here in the U.K.
The new Flash is my fav re-design out of the bunch for sure. I love how they went from goofy-aggressive to sleek-aggressive. Can't wait to see what else they plan on overhauling.
idk why everyone is complaining about the yellow accents, i like it. my knife drawer has enough green black and grey handles some color splash is more than welcome imo
Same here, all blacks and greys. Just got the 940 Osbourne and love the green.
Nice knife with some nice packaging! SOG really knocked it out of the park with this one!
The lanyard lope intrigues me. I've tried doing lanyards but don't like them, and I think it has to do with most company's putting the lope more towards the spin, and when its in the right side pocket the lanyard is always in the way of my hand. I'm thinking having it on the blade side, would keep the lanyard outside the pocket. Keeping it out off the way of my hand.
don't see yellow on a knife too often, i really like it a lot
Def thought it was black til you said different haha
I got the SOG Flash AT-XR and removed the pivot spring.
This way, the knife still opens like an assisted knife, but I can close it with one hand like an axis-lock.
It also has a safety, which I think is really good so that other people can't use your knife.
The acronym "SOG", as used by the Army Special Forces in Viet Nam stands for "Studies and Observation Group". A euphemism, if ever there was one!
I believe it's pronounced ay-gus
XR lock is a hit on the Terminus. It’s lame on all the assisted knives because it gets rid of the best feature of the lock and that’s it’s ease of closing.
one handed closing works fine and is easy to get use to...
SOGs assist is pretty smooth! Its more like a stiff backlock or Slipjoint :)
Mini Zippo lighter too ????????????????????
No more cigars huh?😔
This color scheme reminds me of my GI Joe action figures from when i was a kid. 😁
Waiting 4 ups 2 deliver my ultratech leo today!! I purchased the sog tac xr with the d2 blade and she's a keeper also. The good thing is its a manual opener that works excellent
Well how’s the ultra tech
@@koga8100 loving it very smooth and sharp
Do you have a Boker Plus Accomplice or a Kershaw Concierge?
Studies, observations group
lol even though that was a slip and they use studies and observations groups back in the day (vietnam) they actually went by special observations groups...Ive had this discussion before and it was talked about on the forums years ago...So in my mind I reverted back to that, haha
Special operations group?
@@koga8100 your right that is what they used back in da day. Sog = special operations group. Sog is now studies and observations group.
Do you still make and sell your own bottled hot sauce?
Bought my first opening assisted knife 15 years ago, and never had one open unintentionally. That lock seems a bit rubbish.
Good looking knife
I love my Aegis it has like 10 years and still is rock solid, why did they shortened the blade or it looks smaller?
the original was 3" this is 3.1" so its actually bigger...but not anything you would notice using it...
Those yellow parts make it look like a cheap truck stop knife. If they were grey and matched the blade it would look more like an $80 knife.
what looks cheap is very subjective, I dont see cheap but I do see mountain biker, hiker, camper...since lots of gear has a ton of bright colors...
you clearly have not seen a cheap knife before... this knife looks like any normal Person outdoor gear, the Outdoor outfitter i work at sells a High quality Trekking backpack in EXACTLY these Colours! Deep Navy blue fabric and Acid Green Plastic accents. Hecc look at anything Patagonia makes, they are market leaders in Massproduced quality.
Not only is this knife designed well but its finished nicely... both indicators of quality... look at anything mtech or böker magnum... THATS what cheap knives look like!
@@AYellowPepper Debate,, be a Master Debater, or just a Masterbater, but have fun.
Had bad experience with SOG in the past n feel like they only make cheap knives.
spawn10 If you think this is cheap then you should see how bad their multi-tools are!
In the past most of their knives where really bad, but these all seem to be genuinely good! Have not heard any really bad experience from these new ones yet.
@@TacticalBunnyCA i got to play with a co workers one for a bit and yeah the tools feel quite a bit worse then Leatherman/Victorinox but the Plier action was pretty neat they really do grip harder and They had the Leatherman Free opening YEARS ago!
AYellowPepper I couldn’t agree more I have a power lock something or other (the one with the wings) And it is probably my favorite pliers heads of all time. If I could get the SOG plier head with the Leatherman tools and the fit and finish of the Swiss Tool I’d be in heaven!
AYellowPepper I think the more recent models of multi tool from SOG are even worse in quality. I was extremely disappointed with the power plier mini something or other (the one about the size of a Leatherman Juice). It was everything I wanted on paper but of such shite quality I got rid of it almost immediately.
hey dude i have a old butterfly knife my dad got from a girl when he visited chile
The yellow is a bad look for me. Assisted? Not lefty friendly? It’s a no go for me. Nice review
where di you get not lefty friendly? its truly ambidextrous...
the XR/Axis lock is the most ambi lock there is... the safety is ambi and the clip is swappable.... also whats so bad about assisted? unless its illegal where you are there is no real downside to it...
What gave you that vibe i always avoid lefty incompatible knives and this one doesn't seem to be at all
@@billybob-gb6ol Its literally as much lefty as it is righty...lol
I have the older Aegis, And I do like the design but the older lock is honestly garbage. All kinds of blade play and the knife felt flimsy. I bought the new Flash AT and its leagues better!
Aegis got fat... Really really fat. The irony being that the Aegis was a Benchmade Bugout before the Bugout ever existed! All they needed to change to go head to head with the Bugout was get a major steel upgrade on the OG Aegis. Instead they turned this thing into a wannabe Spyderco Tenacious and I’d rather have a Tenacious!
this has nothing to do with a tenacious what so ever and is its own knife, it doesnt look or feel like anything out there Ive had or used...I agree though with the popularity of the bugout SOG could have went light on this and upgraded the steel to compete, but now the bugout went heavy with the whiter G10 20CV model which I like the most of all of them...Ive never haled a folder and thought to myself this knife is heavy...I have also never been in a situation where my folding knife was just too heavy for my pants lol I carry a ton of gear...
Well, the tenacious doesn't have an Axis lock, D2 Steel or the looks of this knife. And the Tenacious Tip is less pointy!
Also non knife people generally like assisted knives... and spydercos are essentially purely for knife nerds like us. Only Nerds like us love the looks of the Spyder!
cutlerylover I’ve had both the Aegis full size and Mini for many years now they are both favorites. My primary EDC is a Cold Steel Spartan and with the “run for the hills!” factor that a knife like that can have I like to carry a secondary “haha that’s cute” knife as well. Enter my Spyderco Dragonfly... not an Aegis but I have also subbed in the Aegises as well which are of the very few knives I can sub in for the Dragonfly before things get too cluttered and heavy. I’m sure you can understand now why I am a bit more of a stickler on the weight topic. My large Aegis has been dedicated to the emergency bag but the mini still gets good pocket time and a Bugout Mini is high on my wish list! They are awesome as field scalpels I used one last week to wedge out a splinter in my foot that the tweezers where just snapping off.
On paper at least, this new Aegis does seem to have a bit in common with the tenacious, in defense of my point 🤔. Steel liners with composite scales, leaf shape blade, interesting color option, non-super steel blade that is fair and proportionately to its sub $100 dollar price point 3 1/4” to 3 1/2” blade, 4 to 5 oz. I can’t see how they would not be direct competitors in the knife case.
Side note: I hate safeties! I glued one open and removed the other and have never looked back or had any misfire issues.
EGHHH....
