Any SOB fans around here?

Got this bad boy yesterday. I am impressed how comfortable, strong and sharp the SOB is. Great compact blade. I traded it for Spyderco Military - so it was great deal I think It will be great companion to one of my BMs.

Sure miss the ones that I've had over the years. Good score!

Congrats! Great score

Very nice trade! Your G-10 color combo is sweet!
I think it’s a great size & the handle is very comfortable. Brick pattern on the scales is a nice twist.
I just noticed they carried the brick "mortar" line to the very front of the scale on one spot (on mine). At least they did it on both sides... for somewhat even-ness.


And a few places on the butt…

 

[Don't drop it.]

Never owned one but I’ve always loved the ergonomics.
The Brick pattern is top notch..

Like mine so much I have never used it. One of the first ones they made.

Always wanted to try one out but haven’t had the opportunity yet. That beer belly handle looks like a “love it or hate it” type of thing.

For my M/L hands, it felt like holding a golf ball in my palm. It'll work for some hombres, just not this one.

I have XL hands and it works for me and I am picky about my handles. One of very few small knives I like.

Handle is super comfy for a small knife - which is why I like it so much.

ferider : can you please tell your specs on that prototype?

LE (2014): 4.75” / 9.5” / 0.164”
Std (2015): 4.5” / 9.5” / 0.187”

The black one ?

Oops… I meant shaving sharp

ferider : It’d be great if you could confirm blade length & OAL specs on the standard model.

Reason:
The standard model is 1/4” shorter blade (per bussecollector site), but has the same OAL as the LE. It’d apparently mean they stretched the handle by 1/4” on the standard model or bussecollector site has an error.

You are lucky. Lookie what I just found in my work knife drawer:

It’s great to see so many cool knives I think that SOB will be my new go to bushcraft knife.

That is a little surprising I also have M/L hands (Med. palms, long fingers- buying gloves is a pita..either gotta get oversized L's or deal with M's being short in the fingers ) & I really like the egos on the SOB. Maybe it's the shape/depth of my palm that works with the center hump...?
