SOS-MSe and others relative size comparisons

COPIUOS · Mar 16, 2017

I got a MSE LE and the SOS LE/INFI and both in tan micarta - when I pulled the SOS out of package, and saw the handle, I though I had gotten another MSELE for a second, then I looked closer....There may be some variations in slab thickness, although mine look exactly the same, notice the difference in the handle profile - the "swells" are basically the same, although obviously different contours/handle shape/length.

If the MSe handle was straight, probably the same length...

Wanted to get my Trail Scalpel in there, and I cannot find the little booger! Clearly this means I need to get rid of all my knives.

That's a nice assortment of knives! I see you like thin ones is the 2nd one from the left a Lean Mean Street (you don't see those much anymore)? Thank you for the photos!

I say we go to Cam's house for steak dinner. Except I'll eat with the Culti that isn't shown.

Great pics Cam, since were choosing I will take the last one on the right-the Grudge! Longer blade for all field work, but with the large Choil, just right for field dressing-Thanks again

Thanks for this. It's surprisingly hard to find relative size pictures of many Busses, or even pics of the knives in hand.

Great reference pics, thanks.

Have a BG AMS I really like and have been trying to decide whether or not I need an MSE. Now I'm thinking I'd really like the SOS, for some reason I thought they were smaller. Looks like a great blade. :thumbup:

You're right. Some comparison photos show up from time to time, but not often.

I had a similar experience when I received a Boss Street years ago - I thought at the time something like "I didn't know they are that big". The point being, comparison photos really help put things in perspective.
