Hi all,

WOW! I did not know about that yet. Thanks for the heads up. I am sure looking forward to getting a copy here at SOG. By chance could you get me a brief translation of the article, as my German is very rusty. I took a couple semesters in college and promptly forgot it all. Doh! :footinmou

Thanks
Chris

Stay tuned,

The SEAL 2000 IS a great knife, but you have to get your hands on a Tigershark...They really feel great "in-hand".

I have one of the old carbon steel Tigersharks. I wonder how it would do in the test (except for corrosion)
