Although I already have an older Buck 619 I'm looking for qualified opinions on 2 knives. The buck 119 and the SOG Tech Bowie. I'm not myopic about knife brands, I own several and like them all, each has their purpose. Anyway, anyone out there have experience with BOTh of these knives? Both are excellent knives in their own right but if you had to choose between the two???
Obviously the Buck is an awesome knife FOR THE MONEY but how does it stand up to the SOG Tech Bowie, very similar knives, slightly different steels. Any experienced opinions whether one is really superior to the other? The SOG is twice the money but is it twice the knife???
 
I've only owned the tech bowie and I can say it is a very solid knife and extremely beautiful. If you really want a bang for your buck bowie pick up a scarpyard regulator. Its .333 thick and is made out of diff tempered SR 101. I have one and for the same price as the tech bowie I'd pick the regulator every time :) but for pure beauty the Tech bowie is great. You should also check out the fallkniven A1 if you're looking for a beautiful bowie that will perform.
