I love knives, and have yet to be disappointed in a SOG product when it comes to knives, whether tactical folders or fixed blades.  This one is no exception.  Excellent balance in the hand, very sharp and light, yet sturdy and able to take on tough tasks.  The knife is a smaller one, as opposed to the SOG SEAL or the SOG SEAL Master knives, but is ideal for a good, solid survival knife without being too cumbersome.  Since I love these knives, I have one of each now.
