    Been using my new SOG mini for a while now. Ordered it after seeing your review. I was a little concerned before it arrived because other reviewers panned it, but your review is right on the money. One of the best edc's I've ever had. Thanks for the review and please keep them coming.

    Bought a regular size Aegis per your recommendation a year ago and I love it. The thing is so light I forget I have it clipped in my pocket.

    I love these knives! I've had the full sized digital camo for a few months now, and I just bought the mini in all black Monday. I can't want for it to get to my house! Thanks NutN!

    love the look of the SOG Mini Aeigis. My father has a Trident Tanto. They're beautiful knives, have been planing on buying a SOG for EDC and now i will most likely get the Mini Aeigis!!!!

    oh thank god another knife review i was contemplating on whether or not i should unsub because as much as i love guns, i dont have the money to spend on them....this reminded me why i love this channel and i dont think ill be unsubbing forever.

    I just found out that graphite can absorb moisture, and promotes oxidation, or rust on most stainless knives, through galvanic oxidation, on martinsitic stainless steels. The rust on the Kershaw that You showed, was probably caused by sharpening pencils. Thanks for all the great Vids. I learned this fact by watching Neptune Knives vid. Thanks for all the great Vids through out the Years, You were the first influence on My passion for knives.
    Thanks so much,

    Great review...Been looking for a new EDC folder with a deep pocket clip. Your review tipped the scale(influenced) me to order one before I even finished watching the video. Thanks for finding great products and demonstrating how to better analyze designs and features.

    I have my dad's Victorinox multi-tool and he had it for almost twenty years. I've had it for years, and I wouldn't use any other for that, but for actual knives, SOG and Cold Steel are the only knives I trust.

    As of right now I EDC the full size SOG Aegis for everyday utility tasks and in a tactical role as well. I couldn't be happier with it right now. Might have to pick up the mini and try it as well.

  • @Greg41982
    @Greg41982 12 років тому

    Dude, I bought this knife a few months back based on your recommendation. I love this thing. It was probably the sharpest knife out of the box I have ever owned. Way sharper than my next favorite Benchmade Stryker (D2 I don't like so much though.)

  • @flexiblecouch30
    @flexiblecouch30 13 років тому

    I have always loved the Aegis knife. Don't really know why I haven't bought one, but I always thought it might be a little large for EDC. This knife looks to fit the EDC bill more approprately, and I am receiving one today. Thanks for the review and the heads up on this knife. Shhhh...don't tell my wife I bought ANOTHER knife!

    I've got the full sized aegis in digi camo, AWESOME blade! 1st and 2nd type of cool. Mini is on the Christmas list, the full sized while its very precise, the mini literally would be a pocket surgeon

  • @Diamondback68
    @Diamondback68 13 років тому

    The full size Aegis has replaced my Skyline as my EDC blade. It is all about the blade in my mind, both are excellent, a blade and a cover. The SOG Aegis, though large, rides deep and disappears in my pocket. Love the 2nd kinda cool when you whip it out and blow minds.

  • @jddavis19812007

    @JackedLobster 13 років тому

    I've noticed my Aegis cuts though food like hard boiled eggs quite a bit more easliy than my hollow ground super sharp Vantage. Further confirming your food prep point. Additionally, I just used my Aegis for an entire season of kayaking. Swam each time with it, dried it off, but never oiled it. No rust yet. Still want a Salt series for next year. ;) Love my Aegis. Dad loves his mini Aegis.

  • @morris4069
    @morris4069 11 років тому

    Love the mini,so light,fits deep in the pocket. It is what it is,for edc chores its great.
    Got to watch the pocket clip though,if you snag things a lot it will catch. I only carry this other than work.

  • @kerry_glock
    @kerry_glock 11 років тому

    SOG Mini just arrived today. Thanks Amazon. I'm digging the knife, but my thumb is getting real sore from the thumb stud and closure slide from deploying and closing it so much.
    Got the Flash I also today. Nice size and weight, but even with my small hands, deployment takes some thinking to keep my index finger tucked out of the way.
    Son has his 21st birthday soon. I'll think about giving him the Flash I, a Cadet and a Preon 2 to build on his EDC. (Thanks Nutnfancy for the reviews.)

  • @FatDaddy4Fun
    @FatDaddy4Fun 13 років тому

    I love my SOGs! Especially my Power Assist Multi-tool. More than twice the compression in those precision jaws, than any other multi-tool. And those pliers are what sets the multi-tool apart from any other folding knife kit (swiss army, etc). Thanks Nutn...great review. Top of the morning to your sister = ) ~Wolf

  • @fatcat19702
    @fatcat19702 13 років тому

    Love the mini. Feels like it was made to fit in my hand. The only issue is it appears the blade jimping grooves are pointed the wrong way. When your knife is deployed, look at the jimping and you'll notice the notches point slightly away from your thumb as opposed to towards. Still grips well but try pushing your thumb in the opposite direction of the jimping and you'll see what I mean

    @ninjahipp0 13 років тому

    Could you do a video some day on how you set up your run and guns? Also, how do you ensure maximum safety but the best training? I feel like a whole video on that and just how you organize all your ammo/transporting rifles.

  • @DV8EDD
    @DV8EDD 12 років тому

    the blade tip of my Aegis full size has proven very useful. knot removal, fix your girls jewelry, etc. But, yes, its delicate as knife tips go. Love that knife. More than that, my complaint would be about the stability in the absence of rails (which is balanced against the great light weight). you can feel the flex btwn blade and frame.
    I'm buying this mini any day now simply based on my time with the full size.
    keep it up Nutn and let your TNPers know if/when you get to east coast!

    My safety on my SOG Trident TF-3 TigerStripe model kept actuating. So, after taking it apart for duracoating (T15 Tactical Foliage Green) I ended up taking out the safety. Fairly easy process and now it doesn't actuate in my pocket. TNP 'til I die!

  • @DV8EDD
    @DV8EDD 12 років тому

    also worth noting, i agree with Nutn that I've never engaged the blade in my pocket or by accident. also agree that the pivot screw will always need some slight torquing (see last post on stability).

  • @Hermes.Trismegistus.
    @Hermes.Trismegistus. 13 років тому

    Ive had a couple instances where my SC Delica 4 dropped out of my pocket due to its lack of retention (unmodded clip). Thats why I love the Aegis so much. It carries so deep combined with the weight, that I end up forgetting I have it on me :P

  • @ErlefromVa
    @ErlefromVa 13 років тому

    Great review, love the clearness in your speach on your vids. I own a SOGFari 18" Machete and looking forward to purchasing one of their knives. The mini Aegis would defintely be a front runner and simply love the Digi Camo pattern. I'm with you on the serations, I purchased a Kershaw years ago with the partially serated blade, and probably have only used that part of the blade twice with combersome efforts. Thanks for the review!

    I like these locks. Maybe not necesary but they are very positive and not easily manipulate by accident.
    Id like to see Nutn review the Gerber assisted knives and their locks, very different...

  • @cadrician
    @cadrician 13 років тому

    Yesssssssss, a blade review, and a blade I'm saving for! Still have the same taste for knifes, It looks awesome. On a side note, I do love the SOG multitool, but have the same complaint about those wings, but still a great tool, well I think. Leatherman behing the best for me, SOG come second in front of swiss tool! Loved the review and thanks again!

  • @Tren40
    @Tren40 11 років тому

    Just bought one from nut'n recommendation. I like the mini version for EDC use. I got the black tanto version (AE-24) for $49.95 off of bladeHQ. For anyone considering this knife I would HIGHLY recommend it. Super lightweight (I was amazed when i picked it up for the first time), very sharp out of box, excellent gimping (even more on the tanto version), awesome clip, etc. Only warning is the "SOGSOG" lines on the handle ARE NOT rubber on the mini but that is a non-issue for me (grip still great)

  • @Ubongo100

    The Apex is a grate sharpening system. I just finished sharpening my Aegis with it. Mirror finish, 3000 grit :D

    @jgbelmont 13 років тому

    WHOA DUDE most triumphant knife. I bonded with my large Buck Vantage Pro already :)... great knife btw. Both my big and little bucks came a bit tight but centered and the scales were a little big. No probs i just hand sanded the sharp edges and scales a bit.

  • @PatriotPrepper
    @PatriotPrepper 13 років тому

    Great review. I love the full size Aegis. The mini looks like a very good blade. You are right, it would be a better value priced in the $40 range. KEEP ON PREPPING

  • @freezingCode
    @freezingCode 12 років тому

    I came here hoping that you had more bad than good to say about this knife. I was ready to buy the Flash 1, even though I was a little disappointed that you can only get the black TiNi finish on a serrated blade. Then I saw the Aegis Mini with the straight edge black TiNi blade. Now I'm torn! I'm sure I can't go wrong with either choice... but I hate making the choice.

  • @davk003
    @davk003 12 років тому

    Stuck between mini aegis in all black or the spyderco delica 4. The clip on mini aegis is a big win for me. Want that deep carry where none of the knife shows.

  • @freezingCode
    @freezingCode 12 років тому

    Just ordered the Flash 1 straight edge. I think the smaller size of the knife will be better suited for my carry. If not... at least the Aegis Mini is around the $40 mar now, and I won't feel bad buying it later on.

    @AirForceAce3571 13 років тому

    I was wondering if you'd ever get around to reviewing this blade Nutn...thanks for the review on yet another great knife choice. I do agree that the Aegis series is a touch expensive. honestly, that's the reason I chose the Spyderco Tenacious over the full size Aegis, despite the Aegis' huge cool factor. I just didn't have the extra $25-30 for an Aegis, but still want one someday. Thanks again for the awesome review and keep 'em coming!

  • @Paul_Whaley
    @Paul_Whaley 12 років тому

    I'm not disagreeing with you, but if you order straight from SOG,( not worth it to pay MSRP though), they can engrave the knife for a small fee. Nutn's knife is custom by him though.

  • @terahybrid
    @terahybrid 13 років тому

    I see your point I agree with it, but I don't think it's fair to dink the delica 4 FFG even a little, VG10 is premium steel and it has milled steel liners "more cost" also spyderco uses a higher quality FRN they use grivory a step up from zytel. my guess is most of the cost comes from the assisted mechanism used.

  • @richardah1
    @richardah1 13 років тому

    I like SOG multitools, specifically the Powerlock, for the same reason I love Glocks. I can buy all the parts to rebuild the tool myself without having to send it back to the manufacturer. They may not be the best looking tool but again, it's a tool and it gets the job done.

  • @wflccb83
    @wflccb83 13 років тому

    I think I'll stick wtih the full size. If I were to go smaller, I would go to the Flash 1, a narrower blade, and just as fast, light, cool as the Aegis mini. Perhaps I even go to a G10 Hawk from Kershaw.. Again, if I want a lighter knife, I'm looking for a narrower blade shape in either a FFG or Hollow Ground. I have some issues with the SOG quaility as well, kind of cheap on the handles inserts.

  • @samurai165
    @samurai165 13 років тому
