Silax by CJRB/Artisan vs SOG Field Knife

The sea snake’s sheath is actual kydex (**in photos, here, with an added teklok** - it comes with only a lanyard) a step up from molded plastic. The fit and finish are wonderful, although mine did have a tiny nick on the spine you could feel with a thumbnail. The forward finger choil is useful and offers more grip options.

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

YMMV. The blade was sharp, opened smartly, and everything appeared well made. It is a nice knife, but of the three I possibilities that ordered at the same time, this one is going back.

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

Now, let's see what that money gets you with functionality and design. The c-lac supports a 5.11 inch blade that, on their website is listed as a drop...

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.

As you can see here, the edge is lower than my my knuckle, so you can get down on surfaces really well. The way the blade is shaped allows you to do s...

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

Reason for 4 stars is blade stock is thin. I know that makes for easier slicing but not sure on durability compared to a bit thicker blade spine. Will revisit after some use

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)

I love it. The only negative is the handle could be slightly bigger. But I love this knife!

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
