Hi everyone,
does anyone own one of the SOBs already? I thought about trying to get one from the Blade Ganza.
Is it a good EDC?
Thanks for your advice!

I think I'd rather try for an INFI RMD

Got a comp finish SOB as a birthday present from my wife   It has a thicker handle than RMD (my CS drop point in the pic with SOB), somewhat shorter as well. Good balance and handy blade shape. Sorry about crappy pic, it's late, so only artificial light and SOB is stained from wet forming leather. ![[Linked Image from i1231.photobucket.com]](http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee502/elof_alv/96709CD9-9F27-48A1-9C23-76DCA6EA784D_zpsm2jn4bst.jpg)

Thanks a lot for the pic! Kinda looks like with the mini-choil is not that usable for general camp tasks... Which one would you choose for camping? I´ve got a standart RMD already an it somehow just feels right in the hand to me. So I might go for an INFImandu over a SOB - at least I´ll try... But great gift! Your wife has taste

E/A, congrats on your gift; your wife is DEFINITELY a keeper!  The mini-choil will be good for striking a ferro-rod.

I like the balance of SOB, and handle is quite comfortable. Definitely would take it camping. Would I take it over RMD? I don't know, but I have enough knives to use different combinations to see how they work together.

I'd definitely take the RMD. Primarily because I don't have an SOB

Cesar, I just hope it isn't as handle heavy as the Boss Street.

Randy, with wider blade the balance is different than BS has.

SOB makes for a cumbersome steak knife... a bit heavy for that purpose...
Took just a minute to adjust in the kitchen to the finer cutting tasks. The wide blade is pretty good for that.
The size seems to be just right for the larger EDC blade, not light one though.
