SOG Bowie Newbie

[4 Ranges]

I posted this on the SOG forum, and I'm hoping to get some responses here.

I'm an SOG newbie, and I'm really interested in the SOG bowie line (commemorative, recon, and trident in particular). How do the knives feel in the hand, and what type of "work stress" are these knives capable of handling? How are they different from each other, other than materials and dimensions? Is one more of a fighter than the other? Is one more capable of heavy duty work than the other?

Also, I keep reading about an SOG article that's apparently, no longer up. Is it possible to post a link for this article?

I've always been a fan of large bowies, and medium sized folders. But now that I'm growing more fascinated with 6"-8" fixed blade lengths, the SOG bowie line keeps coming up. So any comments and opinions on this very popular line would be greatly appreciated by this very eager SOG bowie newbie.

PS: Upon further viewing, I like the profile of the SOG Bowie and Trident better than the recon (the recon doesn't look like a bowie to me).

They feel very nice in the hand, but some may find it a tad short. The steel gets VERY sharp and the blueing is gorgeous

And how woud you know this?
LOL

Garageboy is right though...
It is kinda short...
and it does get very sharp, but any hard use scratches the hot bluing ver quickly.

I've handled one and like it. Taken it camping. Made getting Marshmellow roasting sticks easy. Sharp as all get out too.

Hey Mutt, who's the one who went through 1/16th of your fixed blade collection? =p
