I would like to know what is the Tigershark design for? As a utility knife, camp knife, dive knife or just simply as a big chopper?
I would like to know how would it fare as a utility/ camp knife. Mainly clearing some place, choping wood for fire and shelter.
 
I use the Tigershark for many indoor and outdoor tasks and chores, including kitchen duty, chopping, slicing, dicing, Christmas tree shortening, turkey and ham and prime rib carving, firewood & kindling chopping, weed removal, tactical tableware, pig hunting......

I do admit it's not very efficient as a toothbrush but I reckon it can't be all things to all people.

I'm glad I've got a Tigershark and I'll not trade it for anything else.

Cheers,

Carl
 
Carl, I guess you even used it as a tooth pick, after all those meals !! :D , it would make one big tooth pick ! :eek:

Didn't you get that option??? Or did I forget to send it...??? :D
 
How thick is the tigershark? And how strong are its tip? The look like they are design for stabing since they are quite thin and hence do not look really strong to me. Stabing people is not on top of my to do list with my tigershark(if i were to purchase one). More likely to use it for prying than stabing. Can the tip stand up for prying uses? I know you are not suppose to do that but just for know sake. And need to know if it is strongly built.
Again what is the tigershark design for? Need to know coz cannot see the knife coz is no availeble in my location and if i really want one will have to buy online or my mail.
 
blade thickness starts out at 1/4" thick, but naturally gets thinner at the tip.

if you're planning to do some serious prying, I'd recommend getting a crowbar. My dad has a 12" long crowbar and it is certainly the right tool for the job of prying.

You'll only really know how strong the Tigershark tip can be.... right after it snaps off. Then you'll have a better understanding of how much prying it can and cannot take.
Any tool can be used for any purpose.... and because there are several factors involved in the force loading, one just can't be certain what will happen when you start prying.

Dear New Pig Hunter,
Ok forget about the prying isue. Just need to know if it is strongly built as far as a knife can be. And how well do it fare when use for choping wood for shealther and firewood (not cuting down trees) and for clearling weed.
I know you guys are very very againts prying with knives here i am also againts it. My point in asking is to know if it is a strong knife. Need to know that i have a strong knife that i can relly on.
Thanks
 
The AUS6 Tigershark is not one of the harder supersteels. It does have some give. It is the big brother of the SOG SEAL 2000...
Ummm while I can't recommend prying... I suggest you read the part in the SEAL 2000 description about "tip strength"... ;)
Remember both knives are 1/4 inch thick... :D
 
Macbeth, I have only handled a Tiger, but if you hold one, you would understand that it looks like it will do almost any chore you intend for it to do, it is scary sharp, and very well balanced, and seems to be built like a tank.
I think it would make a wonderful "do almost all" outdoor knife. You noticed I said do almost all, it would take limbs off with ease, and chop a fairly good size tree down, it's plenty hefty enough, It is a brute of a knife to say the least, and would last for years I believe.
I wouldn't care to trust it on my side anywhere, of course I would also carry my Seal Revolver, this way, I could saw almost 5 inch trees down, and feed them to the fire and stay warm, or saw limbs and make a shelter.
The Tiger is a monster, it's little brother, the Seal 2000 could do it also.
And the Seal 2000s other little brother, the Seal Revolver, could saw your tent poles, and then slice your meat for dinner. Robbie Roberson ;)
 
Macbeth,

I'm of the unshakeable opinion that the Tigershark is the near-perfect camp knife. I have used it to chop through several large tree limbs, and this was done so easily I chopped a few more limbs just to prove it to myself. Because of it's weight I did not feel any hand shock at all during any of this chopping.
And just to have some fun after Christmas, I took the Christmas tree into the back yard and within 5 minutes the Tigershark had "skinned" all the limbs from the trunk.... and about 1 minute later the trunk had been chopped into two pieces. Easy and effortless.

Robbie makes an excellent point about the Revolver: sawing is sometimes easier and quicker than chopping, and perhaps even safer too.

The Tigershark isn't a machete, but I'd much rather have the Tigershark with me..... and I do whenever I go camping or hunting.

Cheers,

Carl
