This knife really is a work of art!!! Just Beautifully crafted!!!The Super SOG Bowie is a very, very solid knife.Made with AUS 8 steel, it's very resistant to water/rust damage, yet still has a high carbon content.Plus with the TiNi finish, makes this blade that much more resistant to any and all environmental threats.The blade itself is a 7-1/2 inch long chunk of steel.It's slightly over 1/4 inch thick, and that 1/4 inch carries down to within 2-1/4 inches to the tip.It's also 1-1/2 inches wide, through most of the blade.Just an excellent blade, with beautiful lines.This Super SOG Bowie comes sharp as a razor blade, this is my 3rd SOG knife, and I still say that SOG delivers the best factory grind on a blade, that I've ever seen. I own quite a few knifes. A bunch of Ka-Bar knives, 3 Zero Tolerance locking folders, and some Buck knives.SOG, by far, comes with the cleanest and sharpest grind on there blades.Great Handle!!!They did a excellent job with the stacked leather handle, (just beautiful work).The handle is a full 5 inches long, and thats Not including the blade guard. So even with very large hands, this knife has plenty of room to get a good solid grip on it!The Super SOG Bowie, as a whole, is a great, great knife! The balance is very good, though the complete knife does carry some weight, I still find it easy enough to use and handle.This really is the perfect choice for a hunter carry knife, even if, for the only reason, if your other means of protection/hunting failed, I.E. riffle, handgun, this Super SOG Bowie will dispatch a dangerous animal quickly, and you can depend on this knife.I simply LOVE this knife, and would buy it again tomorrow, if I lost mine.The Super SOG Bowie comes with a very nice & heavy leather sheath, and the sheath has a leather (sewn on) pouch for a sharpening stone, and the sharpening stone is also included.This Super Bowie is a Home Run for SOG, one Spectacular Bowie Knife!!!

This is an absolutely amazing knife. Back when the movie "First Blood" came out, all kinds of "survival knives" and Bowie knives appeared on the market, and almost all of them were garbage. I especially hated the ones with hollow handles full of "survival supplies", as they were necessarily not full-tang. This would be the opposite of those, what the makers and sellers of those garbage blades wanted people to think they were getting. I hunt in coastal East Texas, down in the bottoms of a wildly meandering bayou, and I don't leave the camp ground of the lease without this blade on my belt. This knife comes with an edge so very, very sharp that I would put it against the most expensive kitchen knife of any chef that I have worked for or with. Furthermore, it holds that edge very, very well. The blade is thick and heavy, but with a shape and sharpness that make it ideal for cutting the legs off of a gutted and skinned deer or hog. The butt of the handle is stout enough for emergency hammering, though I prefer to use the proper tool for that kind of job. The knife is very, very well balanced despite its impressive heft, and the shape, thickness, and sharpness of the blade make it a comforting and comfortable weapon of absolute last resort against a charging wild hog, or, may the Gods help me, a panther. (hog charges are uncommon, but I have a friend who got charged recently, and was without sidearm or blade, and didn't have time to cycle the action of his rifle for another shot because the wounded hog was so close, and so he had to jump to the side of the charging hog and swing the butt of his rifle down on the hog's head to save himself... so, I recommend a sidearm to back up the main hunting weapon, and a big knife to back up the sidearm) I have also used this knife to cut through greenbriers, to cut ropes and paracords for binding gear to my ATV (I believe in knot-tying skills, and generally eschew bungee cords and ratcheting tie-downs), and for cutting open 40-lb. bags of feed corn. If you just need a basic pocket knife or skinning knife, I would recommend the Sogzilla for a folding knife, and the SOG Seal Pup Elite with a straight (NON-SERRATED) edge. I carry those with me, too. Smaller blades are more generally practical, especially for most skinning, gutting, and butchering. However, a longer blade, when used by properly drawing the blade across and through the item to be cut, will last longer between honings and sharpenings. Furthermore, this knife is SO well-balanced that, in capable hands, it can be used for gutting, skinning, and butchering from beginning to end. I have spent a lot of time alone out in those bayou bottoms, and I like having a large-ish and nearly unbreakable blade that is very sharp and very well-balanced. If you spend much time outdoors in really rough conditions, this is a really good tool to have. In fact, if I were to have only one blade with me when hunting, hiking, or exploring this would be it. For fishing, I also carry a fillet knife.

If my review is helpful, please click that it was!Got this fora buddy who was getting married. He has an odd obsession with knifes that I always tease him about. I had heard of SOG knives from my father and a few others. My dad had the Seal Pup and I was impressed with that. So, I decided to get this for my buddy.From what I can tell, he seems to be very happy with it. I played with it a bit prior to giving it to him and I was very happy with appearance, weight, and construction.The blade needs to be sharpened out of the box, but all in all very nice.I would say that you should check dimensions when ordering this if that is a concern. I was very happy with the size, but it was bigger than I expected. I could have easily visualized this better if I looked at a ruler, but I didn't. The weight is very nice as well.

I expected & received a sharp, nice looking, well made, 'clean,' and classic SOG repro of the 60's era MACV-SOG fighting knife. Happy. This one simply too big (it IS the super!) to be considered a fighter. Too unwieldily in the hand. However...I have the REGULAR sided (2.0) and Tech versions incoming. This knife is gorgeous, sharp, good leather sheath, handle is awesome, and black finish is uniform. I'd recommend this for the BIGGER men/women who need a fighting knife for going down-range, but would caution the average (like me!) Jane/Joe to stick with the regular sized versions, or maybe the Seal Pup series. R/S in CT

通常のSOGボウイより一回り大きい記念モデル。雰囲気出したかったので、グリップに革用の黒色クリームを塗って使い込んだ感じを出した。箱出しでは商品写真２枚目、３枚目の色だったが、１枚目の黒ずんだ感じになった。（本当は真っ黒にしたかったが、色が浸透しなかった）アウトドアやハンティングで使うガチユーザーではないので、鋼材についてはノーコメント。大きなヒルト（鍔）が安心。バークリバーのSOGボウイも美しいけど、オリジナルも良いね。個人的には数あるSOGボウイコピー（SOG自身の派生モデルも含め）に比べてブレード形状が一番迫力ある気がする。良いところ。・かっこいい。主に観賞用なのでこれにつきる（笑）。でも色々扱い方覚えてアウトドアで遊びたい。・全体が大型化され、グリップも大型化され太くなっているのでとても握りやすい。今まで何本もナイフを買ったが、グローブで握ることを前提としているのか、グリップが細めに感じたことが多い。太いほうが握りやすく力を入れやすいのは言うまでもない。悪いところ。・フルタングではないので、重さのバランスがグリップより刃によりがち。良いふうに見れば鉈的な使い方に適している、かな？・シースのナイフ固定フラップのボタンが裏でナイフ刀身に当たっている。刀身が傷付いている様子は無いが。・ボタンは「パチン」と結構高い音を出す。静かにそっと外すのは無理そう。敵に気付かれずにナイフを抜くのは無理か（笑）。・フルタングではないので万力で挟んでまげてみせるようなパフォーマンスは無理かな？キャンプにてバトニングで太めの薪を割るのに使った。かなり疲れたけど、まぁ割れた。しかしフルタングじゃないので耐久性に不安を感じる。実際に折れるまで使い込んでから言えって感じではあるが…コレクションとして鑑賞するだけならともかく、実際に使うなら、もっと安価で頑丈かつコンパクトで扱いやすい実用的なナイフがベストだな。

This purchase was advertised as a used product and the priced accordingly. After receiving the knife I couldn't find any evidence that this was a used product. Great deal. As far as the knife goes it is a great quality product. Very happy with both the service and the product.

Macht seinem Namen alle Ehre. Ein wirklich schönes Messer. Sollte in keiner Sammlung fehlen.Wir sind ganz einfach begeistert! SUPER!

Realmente es un instrumento soberbio. La calidad de los materiales y su excelso acabado de fabricación resultan en un producto Premium. Ya sea para colección o para su uso en camping y actividades al aire libre es 100% recomendado. La marca SOG es verdaderamente especialista en este tipo de productos y en este caso ha producido una obra maestra. Vale cada peso de lo que cuesta. Lo recomiendo totalmente.
