I'm not familiar with the SOG, but I have the Gerber Int'l ar3.00 with plain blade and it is a sweet little knife. Mine came very sharp, and a tad of attention with the Sharpmaker made it scary.It is lightweight and well proportioned, but overall a bit smaller than you might think for a almost 3" blade. I paid almost retail list when they first came out, but feel like it was well spent money.Easy to carry, this one would make a good EDC for many of us. Hope this helps. James p.s. The SOGs I have are super knives, I just don't know the one you have specified.jtg
