Now we have another combat knife that is usually considered to be a survival type knife, The Seal 2000 from SOG. As one might expect, it has a good strong point, to pass the Navy's point strength test.

This 1/4" thick knife did well splitting wood with the baton.

It also chopped surprisingly well. Maybe a bit better than the Ka-Bar.

And this is the best thrower so far today. Thunk, first try!

The zytel handle is not my favorite. Until I tried the Schrade knurled steel handle, I thought this was the worst for comfort. Navy seals are used to pain, though, so SOG copied a green pine cone for the handle design. But it is a rugged and tough knife with good balance and reasonably good cutting. It also passed the salt water immersion test, so this is a good choice for wet environments.


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
