Morning everyone....
Roughly six weeks ago I did a post on a new pocket carry knife that I had just purchased. I had lost my old pocket carry knife on a job site and felt empty without it.
My last knife that either has a new owner or is now buried treasure for someone to find was a Kershaw. I loved that knife, it was perfectly broken in and kept a very sharp edge.
I decided to try something new with this knife. I have several multi tools from SOG, but have never owned one of their knives before. So I said what the heck, let’s give it a try.
So I bought this SOG assisted opening knife.
Right out of the box it had a very nice edge on it. The clip on it is very heavy duty and will not break under the conditions I use it for. It felt pretty nice in my hand, and has a nice balance. The knife is very tight, needs a lot of breaking in.
Six weeks later....
For the money this is a quality pocket carry knife. It will handle pretty much anything you need in a pocket carry. The tanto style blade is nice and it holds an edge very well. I did hone it up right out of the box to razor status. I’ve only hit it once since then, and it was to take a burr that I put on it doing something it wasn’t intended for.
I didn’t think that I was going to like the web style handle. But, I think it works well, sweaty hands don’t slip on it and it’s durable. I have opened and closed this several hundred times already. It is still not broken in to my liking. I don’t remember how long my Kershaw took but this SOG is still tighter then I’d like it.
Overall the knife gets a B+ Or A- grade. It’s a quality knife for an everyday carry piece. But it will never be confused with a Kershaw that’s for sure. SOG does have higher end pocket knives that I recently saw on a few websites. For a $30 knife this has more then exceeded my expectations.
Now for some shiny....
How about a nice piece of shiny from Silver Shield. This is a minimintage from them in 2017 called “Big Mother”. It had a total mintage number of 4550. It is a BU version, not the proof version.
As many of you know I am a huge fan of Silver Shield rounds. Most of his themes on his rounds are funny as hell, and are very fitting.
So here is “Big Mother”...

My EDC knife is a Kershaw Nura 3.5, deploys quick without the button, because button actuated blades are, golly gee, illegal in Canada yet cuts just the same.
Nice Silvershield round Sir.

I just found my ol’ Kershaw, in Mrs. @thedamus’ car, which used to be mine, and is about to be again… feel great to have it back!
That one looks pretty solid, but I agree, mostly about the feel of it.
