SOG Tomcat: Gen 2 or Gen 3?

[bSquirrel]

which is better and why?

also, I cant find specs on the gen 3's blade thinkness, anyone know them?

 

[XxDrAg0nxX]

I supposed if they came out with a new one, its supposed to be better right?

 

[bSquirrel]

its more expensive, but less widely available. As I have never had the opportunity to test either, I don't know which is better, so that's what I'm asking

the 3rd gen is supposed to be better I'm sure, but is it? Could be like alot of things, where the replacement is not necessarily a substitute for the original

Squirrel...
I have all 3 TC's...original in Cocobola....
If I had to pick just one.....I'd have to go with the original with TC3 as my 2nd choice. Only reason for TC1 as my 1st choice would be the gorgeous Coco scales. The knife is too nice to use....

well, I just bought a gen 3 tomcat and a mcusta kasumi

I think the Gen 1 had a 3/16" thick blade while the Gen 3 has a 5/32" thick blade???? Either way, both blades are thicker than your average 3.75" long blade.

Great score on the TC 3 bSquirrel. It's one of the few knives from SOG that I would seriously consider buying. FWIW, I would've suggested it over the gen 2.
