SOG - paracord wrapped to the max.

BladeScout · Jun 30, 2013

Im not into paracord wrapped handles that much any more, as the cord gets nasty and slippery depending on use.

I know some like their paracord wrapped handles, but this is just ridiculous!

Ohhh and WTF is up with that machete thingy!! A tanto machete - just what the world needed!

I happen to like some SOG knives BTW (mostly the older stuff).

It isn't just a tanto machete, it is a tanto (terrible steel) STAINLESS machete with a saw back and tacticool black coating.

I will be getting me a Snarl though. I love the stout little blade on it!

Sog lost me before they ever had me.

Don't say that. They have quite a few stinkers, but some of their knives are just plainly nice. Just stick to their Arc locks are you will be mostly fine.

SOG is one of the very few companies who I have yet to find a knife or machete they make that truly interests me. Even they few they make that look somewhat appealing are priced way more than the materials they use warrant.

I do have a couple of their budget tomahawks, but as for actual knives...have yet to find any I'm willing to pull the trigger on.

I have a small dog fixed blade, it was given to me about 12 years ago and it's held up very well. I don't use it as much as I used to but I used to take it snorkeling and scuba diving all the time when I lived in florida and its been camping & in the woods more times then I can remember. I dont think all their knives are that bad, but you gotta remember they are trying to make tons of stuff to appeal to different markets. Although mall ninjas wouldn't know a good knife of it was sticking out of their forehead they do still spend money which is what company's are after in the end.

That is funny!

I'm new here, but that line cracked me up. I'm no mall ninja, but I don't know much more than they do!!
