Knife Review and Test SOG Tech Bowie

Here is one of the best all round outdoor fixed blades you will find.
Perfectly designed knife, feels awesome in hand, and a superb sheath.
Not much more that a guy can ask for!
The AUS-8 steel is not THE BEST steel out there, but it is more than adiquit.
The cutting test that I will show you was done with a fresh razor edge, and at the end it was just shy of a razor edge, and still was in a spot or two.
With a couple of minutes of honing it was back to it's fullest and none the worse for wear.

Notes:
I have reprofiled that edge to 20 degrees although it will still be razor sharp without it, this just gives it a little bit of a sharper edge.
During the test there was also a lot of cutting that I didn't have time to show you, so AUS-8 steel is no slouch!

I am giving this a 15/15 raiting

Can you do a video review on the SOG Creed CD-01? If you're unable to, which knife would you recommend the Creed or the Tech Bowie you just reviewed. (assume that I will not be in a daily knife fight!) Thank you.

@jSwag47 unfortunately I never have got around to buying the Creed. It does look like a sweet blade.

As far as choosing between Creed or Tech Bowie, both are awesome blades. The Tech Bowie I know from experience and the Creed is good from all I've heard.

I see them like this -- The Tech Bowie is more combat oriented, and the Creed is more of a wilderness survival knife. But either one can function in eachother's rolls quite well.

So it just comes down to your choice.

Good luck!

Why do you hack down young healthy trees?

[CubworksLL]

@BigJackJohn Those are overgrowth that needed to be cut down.

That's a fine review, thx!

[CubworksLL]

@dullbrass thanks lots! Glad you liked it

@ZombieOrchestra I hate to break the pitty party, but it's been awhile since this video so I just watched it again......here's the sad thing, in the whole video THE BLADE NEVER ONCE TOUCHED THE DIRT ANYWAY! 

When I stick the blade into something, that was a TREE ROOT!

@ZombieOrchestra

you know what? My blade is in mint condition and sharper then when it came! I take as good a care of my knives as anyone, and guess what? It's still in perfect shape, and if your knife can't take a trip into the dirt, then you bought it from the loony bin!

aus8 is soft....

[jSwag47]

@CubworksLL Thank you for your input. I think I will get the Creed. Are there any good web sites that you would suggest for a cheaper price? I found them cheaper but have read reviews on the seller... I'd rather have a nice blade and pay a little more than save and get screwed.

[BigRooster747]

The SOK is the best there is,made by Hill knives (no longer).

[BigJackJohn]

@CubworksLL I understand.
