are you sure that the reason that your old stacked leather handled knife swelled up with water is because it is before they started to epoxy the handles? they are impervious to water now :P
this is a sweet one but i just ordered the SOG super bowie, its one bad mofo!
This is one of my all time favorite knifes. Have had it for a while now and just love to break it out every now and then and admire it! Great review Nutn... thank you!
What a beautiful knife! Aus8 keeps the price down and in my experience is a good blade material; not great but good. A super hard steel in a knife thsis size could make it too brittle, espexially with that fine tip.
aus8 is soft, dulls quickly and is simply an inferior, cheap steel, now alas mostly used for cheaper production knives. It is a very small extra to make them from better steels, such as ats-34, s30v, 154cm, 154cpm or 420HC even. There is no excuse for a nice blade pattern to fall short of the mark, steel wise. Imagine what a good steel on a sog bowie could do, and oh, make it thinner as well, 3/16 is far preferable.
@choopdewoot Great knife, but there are much better. In Afghanistan, when your life could depend on your knife, you want the best knife possible. I got the Ek Commando (what the Marine Raiders used), and I highly recommend the OKC3S (the Marine-issue bayonet), if you aren't issued one.

i have a question about mine and i wanted to see if you knew i was lucky enough to get this knife given to me by my dad. but it was given to my dad by his friend so im nit sure where it came from and i noticed where its stamped sog on the blade under it, it does not say tech bowie so is it a different knife?
Hey man is this the version you will get if you buy the original, non blacked out version of this knife. The pictures i've seen of this knife don't do justice like this video. Or is this a specialty knife? Thanks man n keep up the good work for us!
@looney116 the other comment was from a kid off of COD yes it has ment studies and observations group, the other commenter only got that from playing black ops
I'm not trying to troll or anything but I always thought S.O.G stood for Special Operations Group, I'm not saying I'm correct I just always thought thats what SOG stood for.
Can you tell me more about those books and what they are called? I'm simply in love with everything SOG, and most of all, their knives. I'm buying one of these soon.

That coating is in fact badass. I have a mill cutter or ten that are coated with the TiAlN, as well as a similar cobalt coating - they usually wind up kind of gray-purple. The black means it's pretty darn thick. I'd be surprised if you could scratch it with anything short of SiC grit. *Drools* sexy knife.
I have purchased this knife; although a beautiful knife no doubt, but I think I made a mistake; too big for my wilderness use purposes. I just want to baton through some wood to make fire, maybe shelter building, food prep (fish, etc.). This Sog Tech bowie is significantly heavier than my Fallkniven F1. Also, because sog tech bowie is AUS8 steel, the stainless steel is not as easy to sharpen out in the wilderness compared with the f1's VG-10. But the AUS-8 steel is not as proned to chipping.
can anyone tell me an internet store that sells good quality knives swords and other weaponry that can if needed be used in self defense without breaking or bending easily
i went to scheels today and i found this kabar knife plain edge no knotchs wat so ever and it was 150 bucks no other acceserys either just the knife and handle and i said hell no
hey nutnfancy, 2 questions 1. The belt loop system on this sheath , does that come on the seal pup elite's kydex sheath? 2. wats the difference between this and the seal pup besides the lenght on the knife? thanks
nut fancy im looking for a knife that would do good in alaska im lookin for one under 65 and thats durable and that has a a durable sheath wat do u think?
That Dude is SF. I have one of the original 1500 CISO presentation knives that was given to me when I was five years old by my Special Forces father who ordered the knives from Okinawa while assigned to the 5th SFG in Na Trang. My knife has my name engraved with the SF Crest and 5th group seal. I'll post a video later for you. Contacted SOG HQ here in Wa state and they were not interested in seeing it for some strange reason. Most hardcore SF carried Gerber Mk 1, Bowies were gifts.
The SOG Knife Company site now has the history of the knife. The original Bowie that I have is what the company was founded from. Unfortunately the Bowie they made shows "VIETNAM" on top of the "5th Special Forces Group" and leaves off (Abn). That's how you tell an original from the commemorative edition. Go to the SOG Knives site and then /documents/SOG-FightingKnives.pdf. Again, that is not this knife of which 1700 were made for the 5th Special Forces Mess Association.
i am having some trouble deciding between the becker combat bowie or the SOG fixation bowie- i am gonna use the knife for recreational shelter building and firewood gathering so it will need to be able to chop really well and not break if you have any other suggestions that would work good for me please tell me that also thanks i love ur videos
Watched your videos and then bought the Tech Bowie today, for $114. So far I'm very happy with it. I really like the look and feel of the knife. This sheath can be configured for left handed people like me. It was a selling point for me since other SOG knives come with nylon or leather sheaths.This video is dead on accurate. Thanks Nutnfancy. time to go cut something...
@nutnfancy, i'm looking at a sheath knife for backpacking, and am stuck between the Tech Bowie and the SealPup. do you prefer either for hard work such as splitting wood, cutting wood, and other miscellaneous uses?
@kingfisher44 I noticed you failed to mention where you were from so nobody could rag on you about you countries' losses, because no matter who you are your country has beaten to it's knees at some point or other>
@frozenboiboi Ok, I asked Nutn and here's what he said: "Seal Pup Elite..its lighter, great LBE knife, more affordable. Tech Bowie is more collectible." Hope that helps. -- Veri (Nutn's sister)
i got a seal pup elite and 100% love it!!! i love it because it is soo light! but i got mine without serations which i regret. if you get a seal pup elite i would get serations because the blade isnt as big and doesnt give as much torque but you cant go wrong with either of these knives
i have one of these, i used it alot in the jungles of costa rica and submerged it in mud, fresh and salt water several times....absolutely no problems with it, great bit of kit.
The leather washers "swelled up like Rosie O'Donnell after a doughnut fest on a Saturday night." LOL! I'm buying the Trident 2.0 soon. Why did SOG have to go from Seki to Taiwan though? That's not too good for business. I haven't purchased a SOG since they made that switch; however, if they still have Nutnfancy's approval, I'll give it a shot. That Trident 2.0 is beautiful though, just gotta have it.
Ive started a paper route to pick up xtra $ with my girl and I use a couple gerber 440c steal knives to cut the straps on the paper bundles and at the end of every morning it looks like i've been whacking my knife against the sharp edge of a metal filing cabinet and I need to sharpen it-the result is I'm losing steal-I used to like S&W knives but now i'm totally disalusioned with440C,if aus8 is like that...is there a better steal that wont have that problem?
"it looks like i've been whacking my knife against the sharp edge of a metal filing cabinet."
What do you mean? Is the blade dull or is it chipping? I can't imagine it's chipping via cutting plastic bands. Your higher carbon steals like d2 and s30v will hold their edges longer. i don't know about 440c(I've seen it referred to as AUS-10) but aus8 is a softer steal than both d2 and s30v. If you're really worried about the knife dulling you can look for something in s90v
Yeah, my 440c gets notches in it,maybe i've put too much of an edge on it.I'm gonna check out D2,I've heard 1095 is good as well, whats a good blade in s30v and/ors90v?is that the supposedly best "all around steal"cuz I'm getting disillusioned with stainless, Im gonna check out some high carbon. Is 420HC anything decent?
1095 is also a high carbon steel. that makes it, like d2, strong but brittle. i think that s30v is a good middle ground steel. the spyderco native in s30v is on my purchase list. give it a look.
I saw a kabar d2 destruction test on youtube and that knife held up to more pounding than I could imagine a knife in even heavy use-i always hear d2 is brittle but from what i saw i'd have to ask compared to what-then again i hear its all about the heat treatment, so maybe some d2 is better than others-i'll check out that s30v though, thanks
Just got the knife last night, it is beautiful! I took a couple of pictures and the shine from the blade messed one up. I wouldn't worry about being in the back woods without the glint factor because you get it in black.
I saw one of these knives on clearance at Bass Pro Shop a few months ago. $50.00 woulod of been a steal if I had $50.00, so I just stared and slobbered
Hey I googled the name of this knife, and I saw so many people stealing your review, I found like 7 different websites under 5 minutes with exact same review as this.
yes, that black finish will wear off over time. I dont think this knife comes with a satin finish. I would not go the way of black coatings. Would'nt it suck to be stuck in the back country with out a signal mirror and a black coated knife,lol.
Darn it, I looked at the SOG Bowie but went with the SOG Pup...I love my SOG Pup for my MTB rides but now you got me wanting the SOG Bowie. Looks like a work of art. Could you do a video on how to sharpen the SOG.....
at the beginning of the video at 0:01 - 0:25 look at the left side of the book page. its right next to the butt of the guys gun. u will see a face. almost like a ghosts face or something. u gotta really look though. but its there.
Man ive been looking for a knife that i can trust my life too. i found this online and wanted to find a review and i knew you would have a review on it. Thanks man, your vids are great!
You would be better of with a knife with a good steel then, AUS 8 is not that great of a steel, its like 440B, better off getting a RAT or a Becker or something, if you really wana trust your life to it, at least get a good steel.
Got this knife. Unimpressed with tini finish but like blade overall. I hated the kydex sheath so I ordered optional leather from SoG. The leather was $35 and sog included a bumpersticker and free tool logic slim card tool with the shipment. Good job Sog. You've renewed my faith in knife makers. And now I'm gettin an Agency. No TiNi on that one

aus8 is soft, dulls quickly and is simply an inferior, cheap steel, now alas mostly used for cheaper production knives. It is a very small extra to make them from better steels, such as ats-34, s30v, 154cm, 154cpm or 420HC even. There is no excuse for a nice blade pattern to fall short of the mark, steel wise. Imagine what a good steel on a sog bowie could do, and oh, make it thinner as well, 3/16 is far preferable.

How would the SOG Tech Bowie fare as a mid-grade woodsplitter when compared to, say, the KABAR Marine Combat knife?

Is it molle vest compatible?
Can you break glass with the palmle(SP*) like other knives?

The leather washers "swelled up like Rosie O'Donnell after a doughnut fest on a Saturday night." LOL! I'm buying the Trident 2.0 soon. Why did SOG have to go from Seki to Taiwan though? That's not too good for business. I haven't purchased a SOG since they made that switch; however, if they still have Nutnfancy's approval, I'll give it a shot. That Trident 2.0 is beautiful though, just gotta have it.

Ive started a paper route to pick up xtra $ with my girl and I use a couple gerber 440c steal knives to cut the straps on the paper bundles and at the end of every morning it looks like i've been whacking my knife against the sharp edge of a metal filing cabinet and I need to sharpen it-the result is I'm losing steal-I used to like S&W knives but now i'm totally disalusioned with440C,if aus8 is like that...is there a better steal that wont have that problem?

"it looks like i've been whacking my knife against the sharp edge of a metal filing cabinet."
What do you mean? Is the blade dull or is it chipping? I can't imagine it's chipping via cutting plastic bands. Your higher carbon steals like d2 and s30v will hold their edges longer. i don't know about 440c(I've seen it referred to as AUS-10) but aus8 is a softer steal than both d2 and s30v. If you're really worried about the knife dulling you can look for something in s90v
jrmym2 2 years ago
Yeah, my 440c gets notches in it,maybe i've put too much of an edge on it.I'm gonna check out D2,I've heard 1095 is good as well, whats a good blade in s30v and/ors90v?is that the supposedly best "all around steal"cuz I'm getting disillusioned with stainless, Im gonna check out some high carbon. Is 420HC anything decent?
kviapunx 2 years ago
1095 is also a high carbon steel. that makes it, like d2, strong but brittle. i think that s30v is a good middle ground steel. the spyderco native in s30v is on my purchase list. give it a look.
jrmym2 2 years ago
I saw a kabar d2 destruction test on youtube and that knife held up to more pounding than I could imagine a knife in even heavy use-i always hear d2 is brittle but from what i saw i'd have to ask compared to what-then again i hear its all about the heat treatment, so maybe some d2 is better than others-i'll check out that s30v though, thanks

Try the Vulcan or one like it with VG-10 Very tough Steel.

Just got the knife last night, it is beautiful! I took a couple of pictures and the shine from the blade messed one up. I wouldn't worry about being in the back woods without the glint factor because you get it in black.

AUS8 has .75 carbon, 14 chromium, .49 nitrogen, .5 magnese, .10 molybednum, .49 nickel, .04 phosphorus 1 silicon .03 sulph and .2 vanadium. 440C has 1.0 carbon 17 chromium 1 magnese .75 molybednum .04 phosphorus 1 silicon .03 sulphate and no vanadium. according to Benchmades chart anyways.

Hey I googled the name of this knife, and I saw so many people stealing your review, I found like 7 different websites under 5 minutes with exact same review as this.

i dont know if he covered it but could anyone tell me if that black finish get all messed up after battoning
kahkistarfish 2 years ago
yes, that black finish will wear off over time. I dont think this knife comes with a satin finish. I would not go the way of black coatings. Would'nt it suck to be stuck in the back country with out a signal mirror and a black coated knife,lol.

The whole leather washer issue may have been improved upon -- now the impregnate the washers with epoxy.
Would be interesting to compare an epoxied washer with a old style washer. It may stay slim while poor Rosie puffed up.

Man ive been looking for a knife that i can trust my life too. i found this online and wanted to find a review and i knew you would have a review on it. Thanks man, your vids are great!
xLETHALxEXODUSx 2 years ago
You would be better of with a knife with a good steel then, AUS 8 is not that great of a steel, its like 440B, better off getting a RAT or a Becker or something, if you really wana trust your life to it, at least get a good steel.
QuietBearr 2 years ago
I keep hearing aus-8 is no better than 440. This is really depressing. I hate 440. Does anyone have a reference to this?
olivelake 2 years ago
440 what? 440A, B or C, because 440C is a pretty solid stainless steel.
Aus 8 is basically 440B. AUS 10 is like 440C, you have to understand there is a vast difference between 440A and 440C, VAST.
Check my steel comparison vid for info on 440C.
