THANKS "D"

I've go a couple of smaller SOG fixed blades. They are sturdy well built factory knives that have held up well for me. They arrived sharp and are easy to take care of/sharpen. The Tigersharks I've seen appear very robust and should stand considerable punishment. That being said it's a knife not a hammer or prybar.

Take that Tigershark out and look at again. See how thick the blade is? It is a very "rugged" knife. The steel (AUS-6, I believe) is soft-enough not to chip easily, but also hard-enough to hold a pretty good edge, and it's also fairly rust-resistant. I have 2 of 'em, and both seem to hold up very well, but then, I'm not one to abuse my knives..

I'm sure you could take glockman's words, but could you not use all capitalization?
That's consider yelling/shouting on the net...
Thought you might have hit the caplocks accidentally.
If it's AUS6, I don't think it'll chip easily. It does take quite a good edge. My Spyderco Ladybug uses Aus 6 and that thing gave me a 3mm cut (I was careless) already

That is some good AUS 6...it's been tempered to be a lot harder than say the CRKT AUS 6M stuff...but it's also not hard enough that it's a bitch to sharpen...

This is my limited experience with the Navy seals 2000...
