Hello all,
For starters, I have to state up front that I have been somewhat skeptical of the quality of SOG's fusion line since it came out. That being said, I handled a Jungle Canopy, Jungle Warrior and Jungle Primitive at my local B&M distributor several days ago and really liked the feel and balance of the Jungle Canopy. For the price they were asking I took one home and have had a good chance to beat on it. There is a stray cat living outside my apartment complex, so I built her a kitty size survival shelter. Chopped several vertical poles 1/2" in diameter and place 1" diameter logs between them to form walls. The Canopy handled all the chopping well, even the dead oaks, which surprised me. It cut 550 cord and vegetables as well. Came hair shaving sharp from the box. I will say, it does feel like a knockoff of the Busse FBM, right down to the placement of the choil holes and the shape of the handle. However, for a much lower price point, one gets a knife that you won't cry about breaking. I think this is one of the SOG fusion's that's actually worth the money.
