The SOG Pentagon Elite folder is without a doubt THE best every day carry I have ever owned! I've had mine for more that 6 years and it has NEVER let me down. I have put this knife through a lot of abuse and it still looks brand new. I have never needed to put a new edge on the blade and I've really only had to lightly sharpen it a couple of times. It remains as sharp as a razor. The sharktooth point is amazingly sturdy. It opens instantly with a flick of my thumb. I'm a lefty and this knife is completely ambi. My SOG actually saved the day during a boating trip when a tie rope snagged during a storm and was dragging the boat toward shore. It sliced through that rope like butter. I have other knives that sit a little lower in the pocket and open faster, but I always end up carrying this one. The clip snapped off once but was quickly replaced after a call to SOG customer service. I received a replacement in the mail in three days.
