I got one last week. It is the satin version. The color is actually 'burnt' orange. It is a little darker around the obnoxious 'SOG' logo on the handle, but the logo has sharp edges, which provides additional traction. Like the others, this one is light, has excellent jimping, and the popular deep carry clip. The carry profile is very thin, but so is the AUS8 blade. The blade shape/grind is not very exciting. Mine has a little side to side play, like my other Sogs. No up and down. It is very snappy, and doesn't have the "bounce-back" issue like my Kershaw Launch. I like the safety button. It seems well designed. I wish it had VG-10, but I am glad I made this purchase.
