Awesome Knife
By Pecos Bill
Great knife. I think it's skirting the lines of legality in my state because you can flip it open, but it's not a "gravity knife" -- it holds itself closed and it has a locking mechanism to hold the blade open, so it seems to fit within the letter of the law.The "shark tooth" tip is a neat design idea that gives it a VERY sharp point, there are serrated edges towards the handle that help out if you're trying to cut through something like twine or wires, it has a belt clip if you're toting it around as a utility knife but is also small enough to easily fit within your pocket.If you're looking for a good utility "buck knife" you might as well get something like this. The flipping action and one-finger lock disengage means you can easily use it one handed and it seems rugged enough for everyday use in the tool belt. No more dropping what you're doing so you can pry the blade out or safely close it, just a little wrist and thumb action will do it.Edit:I've had this knife for almost 2 years now and I still like it. I use it frequently (primarily for cutting open boxes from Amazon... *cough*) and can't get enough of the wrist action on it. It's so nice to be able to open and close it without having to pry the blade out 2-handed style like other utility knives. Can't say I can really comment on the whole "knife fighting" aspect other reviewers mention (don't do much knife fighting myself... you know... busy busy...) but as a simple utility knife, it's hard to beat. Still sharp, too.Edit 2 (Dec 2007) --Still have the knife. Still like it. Another reviewer said this knife was double bladed (I assume that means "sharp on both sides") but it's not. You might think it was from looking at the picture, but mine, which I ordered from this page a few years ago, is only sharp on the bottom, with the exception of the "shark tooth" tip, which is sharp on both sides, but only for a distance of like 1/8" or so (the very sharp tip is great for getting started on those highly annoying, nearly invulnerable hard plastic packages everything comes in these days).

By A Customer
You can open it almost as fast as a switch blade and close it even faster. I have had it for about 6 months and it is still sharp. It is light weight and comfortable to use. This knife is perfect if you want a well built knife that opens fast and is legal.

By alexmg2420
First things first: the SOG Pentagon Elite is a premium knife. VG-10 Stainless Steel, Zytel handle, Arc-Lock system. This thing is a top-of-the-line SOG product (which are all excellent quality products).That said, if you are looking for something beyond your typical inexpensive knife, this is the way to go. Not much more expensive than a mid-range knife and oh-so-awesome! The looks are sleek and understated. Refined, even.The blade itself is the same length as the handle (the tip almost touches the bottom of the handle when folded), so it is LONG. Speaking of tips, the tip is a "shark tooth" style tip, where both sides are sharp, perfect for opening boxes without damaging their contents. The blade is, as mentioned, VG-10 stainless, made in Japan. Then comes the Arc-Lock.The Arc-Lock is so awesome, I had to give it its own paragraph in my review. First thing you'll notice is how smooth it is. Opening the knife takes no effort at all (though, due to the design of the Arc-Lock, the blade stays in until you flick it out). The design of the lock makes this knife perfect for one-handed use. I have learned to close the knife not just with one hand (like all my other knives), but with nothing more than a push of the lock and a flick. Since your fingers never get in the way of the blade like on a liner-lock knife, the blade can be flicked closed in just the same way any decent knife can be flicked open. In addition, the design of the lock (and the thumb studs) means this knife is TOTALLY AMBIDEXTROUS! Just a quick switching of the pocket clip to the other side of the knife and lefties are good to go. I'm a rightie and I can use this knife left handed no problem (something I wish I could say with my other knives).I also own a SOG Kilowatt that I've had for a year and a half now and while that thing is also and excellent quality knife (AUS-8 stainless steel, a step down from VG-10, and a Zytel handle), this one knocks it out of the park. While the Kilowatt looks a little goofy, you'll never find yourself questioning the looks of this knife. It. Looks. Slick. Plus, the Arc-Lock system is just totally unbeatable. I wasn't sure if it was really a selling point for me before buying, as I'd never used it, but now that I have, I have a hard time going back to liner-locks.All in all, a great knife and a great buy. IF THIS REVIEW IS TOO LONG, AT LEAST READ THIS: this is an excellent quality knife that looks great and functions even better, thanks in huge part to the Arc-Lock system.
