SOG Striker 1/Gerber Gatormate/others?
What do you guys think of this
High quality AUS 8 Stainless Steel (good I read)
Serrated or non-serrated blade
Glass reinforced Zytel handle
Reversible bayonet clip
Blade Hardness - Rc 57-58 (someone on here said look for 57-59)
Blade Length - 2.5" x 0.090"
Overall Length - 5.75"
Weight - 2 oz
That is $58, am a Brit so choices can be somewhat limited. Any other suggestions? Annoying thing is that over there you guys can get this for the same amount in dollars as I pay in pounds.
And - serrated or non-serrated?

The introduction of the new Flash line of folding knives debuts SOG¿s new patent pending S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology). This mechanism helps propel the blade open once the operator has initiated the one-handed opening action. They¿re fast as lightning, safe, and provide an extremely strong blade lock. This opening action is uniquely different from all others with its fast start and power curve throughout the movement of the blade. When closing the blade into the handle you actually feel as if you are cocking a side arm as the blade is held securely inside the handle. Invented by Spencer Frazer, who always manages to come up with something cleverly different, S.A.T. is the framework for this new line of lightweight folders. The piston lock is easily released with a sliding button. SOG also had the foresight to incorporate an additional safety lock that gives added security when the blade is closed. Note that when the switch shows red¿you are ready to go. In addition to SAT, the handles (glass reinforced Zytel OR machined aluminum) are contoured with a new ergonomic sensibility that makes the knife a pleasure to use. SOG has also incorporated a new reversible, bayonet-mounted clip that extends from the back of the handle for the lowest, discreet carry possible and dual thumb studs for ambidextrous opening.
