Hey Guys,

I usually frequent the RAT forum but I just found out today that I can order SOG knives at wholesale costs through my work. I have been in the market for a good folder and a good slicer. My EDC blade right now is usually an RC-4 as well as an Izula. The RC-4 plays beating duty and is used for any real tough work while the Izula is my slicer. Both blades are too thick in my opinion for real fine slicing. So I have always wanted a SOG blade but the price was a bit much and now that I can order for super cheap I have started looking again! I was thinking maybe the Topo? The blade wont see too much "hard" use such as batoning or whittiling but it will see slicing...and lots of it. From envelopes lined with bubble wrap to boxes, tape, paper, food and even small diameter rope. I work at a wholesaler and do returns so I am constantly opening boxes and cutting tape and plastic.

So if you guys could help me out...here are the criteria:
Small (relatively)
Pocket Clip
Not too bulky
Plain Edge!
Easy to sharpen I.E. not too curvy and "elegant"

I would also appreciate a blade that was not made in Taiwan if you could.

Thanks for all the help guys,
Floyd
 
I think your looking for a RC-3 now your talken slicer. but if you must go with sog at a cheep price look at a northwest ranger it does slice very well.before I was a RATaholic I was a SOGjunkey (fixed blades) I have two seal pup elites,gov tac,tech bowie,seal team elite, nw ranger,field pup,seal 2000. or look at the team leader,but you know you need a RC-3.

Unfortunately, the Northwest Ranger has been discontinued. Next best choice, in my opinion, would be the Team Leader, if it's not too large for you. Aside from those, the Aegis looks like it would slice really well. I don't own one, but I like the way they look and have handled one at an outdoor store.

Are you looking for a folder or fixed blade?
 
Sadly you have mentioned Taiwan else, the RAT1 by Ontario is a real nice slicer made of AUS8. I myself do not worry about the made-in tag anymore. You got to see one to know.
 
It would be nice if I could get a real slicer in a fixed design, but since most SOG's are folders its no problem, I do like the Aegis by the way. And while I would love to get the RC-3 I cannot pass a wholesale deal like this one up.
 
Ask my left thumb. It'll tell you that the Twitch II is the best slicer. Went right through the skin and down to whatever's underneath yesterday without so much as a "thank you" :o

I agree, the Team Leader and Field Pup are great Slicers. Also check out the Fusion Revolvers. 1/8" stock with a sharp edge.
