SUPER COOL!!!!

I ordered this from my local dealer way back in October and he said he'd have it by Christmas. (This is South Africa) Unluckily for me I drove down to Cape Town on the day that he received it along with some other SOGs. That was around 20 Dec. I only got back to work on 6 Jan when I saw the email that it had arrived, so I picked it up earlier this week.

I just love this one :D Shaving sharp and some very very nice grind lines. I really like the massive choil as well cause I wouldn't want to put a finger on this blade by accident. The cost to me works out to about $169 (at about R8.50 to the Dollar) after shipping and everything else, so it is major expensive. I'm paying it off on my credit card over 6 months, but stuff it, I REALLY wanted this knife.

That's SOG no. 4 for me and I really am happy with it. Now I'll start thinking about 6 months down the line. What next, maybe a Seal 2000 :cool:
 
Congrats Andre! Glad you like your Recondo. I've been thinking of getitng one too, one of these days. Use it then tell us how it did. I bet everyone would love to hear about it. Oh yeah, Pics are nice too.;)
 
Andre,

Great choice! I have the X-42 Recondo in TiNi. The finish is a sight to behold.

Do you have the Desert Dagger?
 
Haven't used it for much yet, but it's shaving sharp :D

I don't have the Desert Dagger. What I have is the X42 Recondo, Government, Tsunami and Tech 1. Over here the Desert Dagger and the Seal 2000 are the same price, so I reckon I'd rather get hold of the SEal 2000 later this year.
