Goodbye SOG...

[Yukon227]

Well I traded off my SOG Trident Tanto today. Traded it and some ammo for a marlin .22 mag. When I got the knife I thought it was wonderful. Then I got a kershaw zing from Brad. Even though the kershaw is a less expensive knife, I feel like it is a sturdier built and better knife overall. I think I am now sold on Kershaw for quite a while. I doubt I'll miss the SOG.

Yep, I've spent thousands on knives and my Ram is still my go to knife as my edc. Just wish they'd come out with one with a better steel.

My kershaw leek w/ D2 cutting edge is one of my most carried edc knives, its taken a back seat to my spyderco sage 2 since I picked it up from Brad tho...

back to the subject at hand, Kershaw makes some good knives!

Fun fact: Kershaw also makes Zero Tolerance knives.

I think I may have to visit Brad at the 1500...

I always think people who rave about their SOG's have never held a benchmade, spyderco, emerson, kershaw...

I had a SOG for a year or two before I really got into knives. I was always a knife guy and always had one in my pocket, but until I got involved in guns and consequently gun forums, I didn't know what good was.

SOG's just feel cheap to me. Mine broke pretty badly and not even from hard use. Just light use and daily carry.

Sog is a good example of a once upon a time quality knife maker, that now makes a lesser product and relies on it's name to sell knives.

I have had mostly good luck with Kershaw. The ones I have managed to break, KAI made it more than right. Zero Tolerance IMO, is the biggest value in the commercial knife world.

Love my Kershaw Leek! I'm on number 2; number one walked away after I cut open some boxes after we moved into our new office (work).

Well I personally have had a SOG Pentagon Elite 2 for about 10 years now. It is absolutely the best folder that I have ever used and I have used several others since owning this one. I keep it on me/nearby 100% of the time.

YMMV on what you like but I tend to stick with knives that function for me flawlessly in multiple environments from water to woods to muck to sand and heat to cold.
