The maker is the buyers choice...any good field knife will have the same charactoristics.....thick non breakble blade, good edge holding steel, full tang, comfortable handle and affordable. The best knife in the world is worthless if you cant afford to buy it, and any knife I take to the field I am prepared to loose (murphys law). If you cant afford to loose a $300 knife then dont take it out. User not collector.
Guys shut up already. You want Ka-Bar, I want SOG. They want Cold Steel, he wants Gerber. It all comes down to preference when it comes down to a knife or anything for that matter. It's not like the people buying SOG (NOT the Fusion line) are buying a $10 Winchester bowie from Walmart.
I have not researched SOG knives to see if they were ever made in the US. As Gunny is a Marine it is hard for me to believe that he would endorse knives made with commie slave labor. But I guess he is........
To respond to your comment, two Army guys were at my shop getting knives for Iraq. One had a SOG with him, being the smart ass that I am, I said "let me see that", and I peeled the edge off his knife with mine. You should have seen his face. They got 3 better American knives.
A nice looking knife, but way too expensive for what you are getting in terms of steel and sheath. I think Sog really rides the mystic of late 1960's to make their sales. Most of their line is very pricey for what they are, but they look damn nice.
The Creed is one of the nicest fixed-blades around, period. The leather sheath has problems and the lanyard hole will slice your lanyard like crazy but other than that, this baby is flawless.
It's more than just form over function. It's chops up wood nicely. Good for camping and some slightly heavier field work. I wouldnt get the black coated one though. I'm not sure how the finish would hold up. The satin finish can be polished up after a hard days work.
A KA-BAR IS BETTER THAN A SOG

Gunny, put your name behind some American made products. Semper Fi?

It's a great looking knife but why did they have to fuck it up with that groove? it looks misplaced and too small to be of any use whatsoever

@MaCeje +1. Don't think it will do anything well. Too thick for a slicer, too short for a chopper.

I think they tried to do a little too much with that design... might make a nice collectible, though.
