Today I received the (new-style) SOG Tigershark that I traded one of my Camillus CQB-1 knives for, and I have to say that I DO like this knife! The blade-shape and balance is excellent, and it looks to be a very good "fighter". Although I am at least it's second owner, the AUS-6 blade on this Tigershark is razor-sharp, with very even "grind-lines", and a nice set of usefull serrations.

One change that I would like to see is more "roundness" to the handle, as it seems to be alittle "squarish" for my hand, although the rubber handle does feel good.

I like the knife alot, BUT the (kydex?) sheath could be ALOT better. The two pieces of the sheath don't quite "mesh" very well (it looks like it wasn't finished completly on the grinder), although alittle time with my Dremmel will solve that. Also, the knife sits very "low" in the sheath, and makes a quick draw pretty tough.
On the plus side, the sheath fits the knife very well, with NO "rattle" or looseness at all. The knife snaps in with authority.

Placed between my other two 9 inch "Bowies" (Coleman/Western W-49 Bowie, and Cold Steel Trail Master Bowie), I think I like the SOG Tigershark the best.:).
 
I also like my tigershark. I have the old Carbon blade version and it is a great knife.
 
Hi Dann,

I was wondering if you had yet received your Tigershark. It's great to hear that it's a "keeper."

The Kydex sheath is adjustable for easier draws. Email me if you need instructions.

Now that you have a Tigershark I'd suggest against a photo shoot.
 
AAaaaaaauuuurrrgh!!!!
That was mean, Ron:barf:
I clicked, expecting to see a Tigershark, maybe even an elusive Midnite Tiger...
Ugh!
 
Ron,

I KNEW that I shouldn't have let that picture open-up all the way when I noticed "Vampire Gerbil" in my address window...Now I'll have to use MY Tigershark to fight-off the up-coming nightmares that I'll have tonite from seeing LB/VG in that "pose"...:D.:eek:.:D.

BTW...I'll let you know if I'll require further assistance in "adjusting" that kydex sheath, AFTER I'm done taking my Dremmel-MotoTool to it.;).
 
Hey glockman99,

Couldn't agree with you more about the new blade. In my opinion, a metal guard would have been ideal. As for the handle zytel with kraton inserts or even without. Just as long as the entire handle isn't made out of kraton.

Oh! And Ron... how about an SOG pin-up colander for 2002? But let's leave this one for April:)
