Update. Still carrying a SOG but a Flare now instead of the Flash II. The Flash was a Christmas present from a good friend and I carried it for 15 years nearly losing it half a dozen times. Feeling like I was pressing my luck I decided to de-commision it and picked up the Flare at Uncle Wally's for $30 I think. I miss the serations but am making due. Feels the same in hand. If this one comes up missing I won't be out anything besides a $30 knife I got at Walmart.
