Cold Steel Finn Bear Fixed Blade Knife vs SOG Field Knife

Their magnet picks up right about there, which is about what you'd expect for a more a knife, and is that not necessarily mean that it's a junky blade...

Now the knife. I bought this for self defense, if ever needed it'll do the job intended. It doesn't come very sharp and in my opinion doesn't sharpen very well. Handle feels nice in the hand for intended purpose

I'Ve used all all this past winter for for fire wood processing. I made over 100 fires to heat my house and between a small hatchet and this knife. It...

Had this Knife almost (1) year. Have not used it for any outdoor/ bush/ camping activities yet so can't rate on that. Just been sitting in my Diving Backpack and considering to use it in my Diving activities but don't know if the steel will hold up (won't rust). At 1st glance, the knife feels like it's a Young Boy's knife (still feel that way)

But this new version does have one big improvement- the original had soft stainless steel, it was hard to keep an edge. This new version has harder steel. The cordura sheath is well made, and securely holds the knife. Overall a good value for the price

The blade is dull so get yourself a good sharpening stone to hone the blade. For the price, it's a good knife but the sheath is still very important.

The sheath is still impossibly tight despite me running a square file in there a couple dozen times. I think the sheath may be glass-filled nylon which makes it hard. I don't have a problem with the newer one having a bit of micro bevel. TOO acute an angle on the blade will tend to roll, chip or dull easily

My first moment of opening this its sturdy so far. This item got delivered before the recommended Delivery Date.

But plastic sheath arrived cracked at belt loop.Also very hard to pull knife out.Needs a slightly better sheath.Had to return it

I love the sheath. The retention is perfect. The knife stays firmly in place and it's quick and easy to deploy. Doesn't feel stuck like some Schrades do with similar sheaths

It’s hard to complain given the inexpensive price but I was a bit disappointed with this knife. The light, hard plastic handle is my biggest complaint, it just feels cheap. The blade is a bit more robust than you would think, although not full tang, so it seems mismatched with the inferior handle. The sheath is styled after the plastic Moras so it functions and holds the knife Well

always a plus. The handle is the most comfortable design ive ever held, even though it could be longer by a half an inch. (I have large hands) The rubberized handle is very grippy, and a joy to work with. At 30 bucks its a true bargain ! SOG ! if youre listening, please take this exact design and enlarge it to a 5 and a half or 6 inch blade, with the handle expanded to 5 or 5 and a half inches
