Bought as a Christmas gift and it was received with glee. Stylish, if you can say that about a knife, and does what expected with ease. Only question is what do we do with what appears to be a battery?

I purchased this over the Benchmade Bugout; I have no regrets. I love the Flash AT over the Bugout! Given I respect and love Benchmade, I just prefer the Flash AT! Can sharp out of the box; no flaws; heavy duty, this knife is heavier so if you want lightweight the Flash AT, doesn ’ t achieve that, but it sure does have heavy built; so if you ’ re like me that prefers a heavy duty combat knife that is a beast this knife sure achieves that.

4 stars. Would be a 5 but the thumb assist is too close to the handle. The SOG Flare thumb assist is in a perfect location. Move this and it ’s a 5 Star knife! Love it anyway!

Love the Altair. My Lady lost my first one in the squid ink color so I bought a red one the next day. She has since found the first so now I have 2, and I 'm perfectly fine with that. The one handed operation is very convenient, and there is no lighter edc knife I 've found with this level of quality and performance.

I 've had this knife for about a month now and have used it quite a bit. It came from the factory very sharp and pointy. I like the assisted opening feature a lot. It's a bit short for my average sized hands, but manageable. It's a good knife for going around town.

Bought the yellow as a light duty knife for my wife. She loves the color and overall look. Could n't be happier. May not be a heavy duty EDC, but I want one for myself. Even though I need another EDC like another hole in the head. Ca n't decide whether red or lichen green. Maybe have to get both. For the price...

I think Gerber decides to reward our loyalties ever few years when it comes out with a little GEM like this. The Zilch is a wonderful design, it's inexpensive and simple but it works. The detent works, centering is perfect, lock up is solid, no blade play, sturdy pocket clip, smooth opening and the flat ground drop point blade is awesome. No expensive handle materials or blade steel at this price point but I love carrying it all the same. I got the Red one but will probably get more in the different colors just because. I think the main comparison/competition to the Zilch would be the Dozier and the 112 Slim...... so if you like that style of knife but prefer a liner lock then maybe the Zilch is for you.
5
I wish the Zilch had been around when I was going through knifes. Very solid little knife for the money with full liner. May not be premium material, but for the price beautifully executed. I find the Zilch design both more aesthetic and functional than other knifes in its price range. I do n't know how it would hold up under the use I give a knife, but at its price it would be a tool I 'd use and replace when I broke or lost it. And I broke and lost a lot of knives that cost more. Gerber might just have the best in its class here.

This is my first Kershaw folder and I 'm very pleased. It is also my first flipper assisted opener. It opens nearly as easily as my automatics. The blade was very sharp out of the box and the frame lock works very well. The handles look and feel very well made and the pocket clip can be moved to suit any preferred style of carry. I like this knife so well that I now need it's big brother the Cryo II for my collection.

Knife is amazing. Very smooth opening, blade is very sharp and has maintained that edge throughout the first month of use. Only improvement iand these would make it the best edc ever would be to have some texture on handle it is very sleek and smooth to touch and to make it just a touch longer. I don ’ t have great big hands but it is still a slight small. When opening it feels it could jump out of my hand

Have had this knife for about 6 years, it has seen a lot of use and a lot of abuse. Have never had a single problem with it; blade still sharpens easily, action is smooth, and I have never once had to tighten a screw.

I bought both the Ripstop I& II and I must say I am very happy with both. Light weight, sharp, easy to use. Overall great knife for any situation.
5
I have carried this knife with me almost every day and use it 3- 5 times/day for about three years. It is easy to open and securely locks in the open position. It fits my big hands well. I have this knife in three sizes. It works well as my money clip and it really holds its edge.

Charles73
I purchased this about a month ago and have been very pleased with the knife. I had an earlier model in red that I also liked, but the clip was a bit of a disappointment as it persistently snagged on the lettering. This model has an improved clip and the blade is fantastic. Love that it has a hard core surrounded by the damascus. I hope SOG will use this damascus on other models. Only suggestion would be to etch the blade longer, or to not polish it as much so the contrasting steel can pop.

This knife has made me fall back in love with SOG. A beautiful, light and sharp knife. The pattern dose not pop out so much, but considering it can cut through a quarter inch piece of paper without the paper wiggling around and the fact I feel like I ’ m carrying a razor sharp feather makes this knife my new best friend. Buy this knife now you will not regret it.

Very light weight kit! Good for everyday carry. Strong lock.
When selecting a fast opening knife, consider features such as the blade deployment mechanism, which can include assisted opening or manual options. The handle material and design are also important for grip and comfort during use. Additionally, look for a secure locking system to ensure safety when the knife is open.
Fast opening knives are versatile tools commonly used for everyday carry, outdoor activities, and emergency situations. They can be handy for tasks such as cutting rope, opening packages, or preparing food while camping. Their quick deployment makes them particularly useful in scenarios where speed is essential.
The materials used in a fast opening knife significantly impact its performance, durability, and weight. High-quality stainless steel blades offer excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, while lightweight handle materials can enhance portability. Additionally, the choice of materials can affect the knife's overall balance and ease of use.
Yes, fast opening knives come in various styles, including folding and fixed blade designs. Folding knives are popular for their portability and ease of storage, while fixed blades may offer greater strength and stability for heavy-duty tasks. Each style has its own advantages, depending on the intended use and user preference.
Safety features are crucial when choosing a fast opening knife. Look for models that include a reliable locking mechanism to prevent accidental closure during use. Additionally, consider the blade design and handle ergonomics, which can contribute to a secure grip and reduce the risk of slips or injuries while handling the knife.
