For what this knife it's excellent. I'm tired of seeing reviews that amount to "good knife" "bad knife". I've been testing this over the past week. It's made out of AUS 8 steel. This tends to be the best metal for survival situations while the edge doesn't hold as long it's super easy to sharpen. The nylon sheath rides higher than it should during belt carry when rigged normally. I fixed this by rigging the snap through the last MOLLE strap rides nicely now. Sturdy tang will stand up to prying well. Edge geometry doesn't get much better. The jigged spine cuts through wood very well. The jiggs also cut through copper and other soft metals I've not tried anything harder but in a pinch it would probably work. It is manufactured in Taiwan but it's still up to U.S. quality control standards. There were models manufactured out of japan they were of inferior metal. SOG has slipped a lot through the years but this really is a dependable knife. Oh yea the glass reinforced handle is excellent it is in no way cheap.

GREAT. <br /> <br />Pro: Holds an edge, easy to sharpen, secure carry case <br />Cons: Handle is a little small for large hands, hard to draw when hung upside down from my gear.
