Has anyone seen the SOG Ultra TI CS-1 ?
Looks super light, it had a confusing review in Backpacker magazine.

I went a little knife crazy last week purchasing 4 from e-bay.
Two of them are at LACerikote to get prettied. One is a replacement for the previous EDC I posted.
This is my new favorite:

Just got a new Kershaw 1555 Cryo. It's pretty big for an EDC for a guy that works in an office, but, I do like it. 3" blade, 4" long when closed. It's beefy. The blade is thick and looks like it would do some major work. It's *very* sharp. The assisted opening works great, if a bit stiff to get it moving, which is fine actually, don't want it opening too easily.
Lots of options with the clip, four positions. Tip-down or tip-up on both sides. It came set up tip-down for a right pocket - and in that configuration it's a deep-pocket set up, you don't see the knife sticking out of the top of the pocket at all, just the clip, which is nice and discrete. Last time we went to the movies I got stopped at the door and told they don't allow knives inside, so I had to run back to the car and drop it off. I had a different (smaller, actually) knife clipped in my pocket but it sticks up a bit more.
I moved the clip to tip-up on the right side. It does make the knife more visible, but with the dark grey finish it doesn't stand out too much. I like this position better because when I pull it out I don't have to spin it around to open - so it's much easier to get it out and opened with one hand while doing something else with the other hand. I also like that in this configuration, even if it did start to open in my pocket, the blade is on the 'back' side, between the body of the knife and back of the pocket - it's not where I'd be sticking my hand in my pocket to get my keys.
Downside, one of the T6 screws rounded out a bit when snugging it up...it does seem tight though, so hopefully it stays put. I'm going to reach out to Kershaw to see if they'll send me a few spares just in case.

Why do people feel the need to list all of their bikes in their signature?
