Hey guys I was walking thru dicks the other day and I saw sound SOG Knives for sale, one that caught my eye was a black tanto blade open assist, for like $60 or $70. So I dont know much about knives are SOG's nice? Let me know I wanna go pck one up Friday if they are worth it.
I'm about 90% sure I've seen that particular model come up on a certain "deal of the minute" kind of web site (not sure I can mention it by name, but you can PM me) for MUCH less than that. This web site runs SOG and CRKT knives quite a bit. I picked up a SOG last week for $13.
I have the SOG Trident Tanto knife. I love it. It is one of my Every Day Carry knives. It opens very fast, has a lock if you want to use it, has the slot to cut string and paracord and has stayed very sharp. The grips are plastic, but have worn well and have nice grip.
I have several SOG knives incuding the one you mentioned, the Trident. I have been very pleased with it - Holds an edge reasonably well, locks up tight and the grip is positive even though it feels plastic-y.
I know Brad from Brads Knives carries some SOG folders not sure the exact models. Look him up in the SPONSORS Area here. Sure he is more than happy to help...
sog makes a quality product and i agree give brad and knifelady a chance but if you got a gift card that you want to use i say go spend it and use the hell out of that knife
Just recently bought my first SOG at Dick's myself. Great knife, well made, has a very sharp edge out of the package. Seems to be holding up very nicely too. You won't regret your purchase, no matter what, I guarantee it. Oh, and they have lifetime warranties
