GSM keeps trying to charge people a ton of money for 4116 knives. Same issue with the Cold Steel Razor Tek line. Meanwhile, I can get a Mora Kansbol in Sandvik 12C27 with a modular sheath system - superior steel, superior handle, superior ergonomics, superior grind and cutting performance, versatile carry system, all for under $50. I can get a Garberg with 14C28N steel, full tang, modular sheath - again, superior steel, grind, ergos, and cutting - $85 on Amazon. GSM can kick rocks with no shoes on.

You've always made good videos but I remember watching you years ago and your quality has improved a lot as well as your knowledge of blades. This is a great video, everything I needed to know to decide on my purchase. Edit: Oh and one things that stayed the same is you're honest as hell man. No bs, just facts and non biased.

@toad0078 Год назад

Facepalm! It's been $39.99 at a place with a name containing sounds of 'MID and 'WAY for some time now. The low price is only the bright Yellow and Blue one, not the latest colors on the Aegis FX. Sog TAC folder is $42.99 (black or green). Aegis AT folder is $39.99 (moss or blue), also D2 cryo with Tanto blade $39.99. Sometimes they have some nice sales. Get two, and practice sharpening. Lastly, he may be right on the blade geometry lacking in the performance department. I grabbed a few for stocking stuffers and gifts in the case that I don't enjoy them. It is what it is, and that's under $80 bucks for TWO and shipped for free!

@DarkPhoenixTSi Год назад

I have one of the older Aegis folders, and I thought that was overpriced. This is MASSIVELY overpriced, especially when you can get a Morakniv or a Gerber Strongarm. That, honestly, should be a $50 knife, TOPS!

Midway USA has this Aegis knife on sale right now for 39.99--I just got a SOG Trident from them for 49.99--After getting it I can see why it was half price. I have avoided SOG for quite awhile because it just seems that their quality has really dropped--buying that Trident has confirmed my thoughts. I think I'll pass on this Aegis but that price at Midway is pretty good for those inclined to buy one------Good review too--thanks

@thomasmaloney843 Год назад

Cold Steel Finn Hawk with 4116 Scandinavian grind makes more sense if something like the SOG is desired. The price of the Aegis is in Garberg territory

@The4cp Год назад

SOG needs to remember it's roots in the tactical world and get back in that lane where they were starting to do so well. The SOG Seal XR and Pentagon are amazing. Sure they should venture into outdoor knives but not forget who they really are.

The Seal FX is pretty decent as well, but the price is just laughable to be honest. Even though I think it’s on sale at the moment

@alaskaraftconnection-alask3397 Год назад

This SOG appears to be weekend warrior's bait... design, features, and grind while over the counter may look kind of cool = translation concerns the very shortcomings. Does SOG still have lifetime warranty? Could be a part of the 'over-pricing' cost factoring.

@qui-gone Год назад

For 100$, get a Tops CUT 4.0. you'll not regret it! I bought my second on ebay (new, not used) for 85$ last month. It's an absolute beast. Has been my EDC fixed blade for 4 years.

@qui-gone Год назад

Update. So today I accidentally dropped it while crossing the road (that's quite different in India than US so I'll spare the details 🤣). 3 buses and 6-7 cars went on the knife on asphalt before I could pick it up. The knife just tanked it like a boss and has only a couple of scratches on the micarta to show. TOPS truly build their knives like tanks.

@Oz710 Год назад

Reminds me a lot of the Benchmade Steep Country.

@hardhittaa Год назад

Also I seen SOG is coming out with 2 new versions. Do you think they've fixed the grind? I really like the way the knife looks and I still carry a pocket knife as well for finer cutting.

I really like the Mora knives. I don’t own one yet so I’m curious how does their sheath hold up? It doesn’t look like you could strap it across your chest like you did that one?

@powers1776reset Год назад

Garberg would be my recommendation. It’s the only full tang higher quality material knife they’ve got, I think. I could be wrong. But it’s right around $100, so it’s not bad! The Garberg compared to the sog in this video, is actually no comparison.

@davidkay1386 Год назад

@gideonstactical Год назад

@realbroggo Год назад

Thanks for this vid. I've been looking at this blade as an option for light hiking & general utility but poor blade grind (ie. fake Scandi) & ergos have scrubbed it. I'll stick with my well loved Moras. As for pricing - GSM need to give themselves an upper cut. Their overpricing on 4116 (ie. budget) steel and FRN/GRN (ie. plastic) handles is a crime. Coming from Germany & having cryo treatment etc. does not make 4116 anything more than basic, bottom-end, entry level stainless. (See also Cold Steel Razor Tek by GSM.) Shame.

@tacticalcenter8658 Год назад

I've seen a few customs made in 4116 with custom heat treatment that did very very good. Its a good steel with the correct custom heat treatment. Mass production not so much. they just want your money and want to hit a price point.

@realbroggo Год назад

@@tacticalcenter8658 100%. There are some great makers out there who can get the best out of almost any steel. Just to add, with customs you know that you're paying for the time and effort of the maker and expect to pay the extra $$$. As you say this doesn't apply to mass production. Enjoy your day!

@tacticalcenter8658 Год назад

@@realbroggo there's very easy way, pay custom heat treat guy to provide a heat treat protocol for the factory. It may not be the best but the best a factory can do as long as they have some sort of QC and intelligence. The way it Stands now is factories just use heat treatment protocols that arnt particularly for Knives or knives for people who just need something cheap to cut something with. If they just want to sell as much as possible and don't care about the knife or the user's, then its just mass produced junk. They can test different protocols too if they dont want to pay for a protocol from an expert. This is called r&d.

@gunner4373 Год назад

The Vanguard is incredible for processing game. I own 3. 2 in Bucks excellent 420HCand one in S30V. They also carve and bushcraft well. It's not a true wood processing knife though. But for camping and hunting it's a sharp, well made, comfortable knife. It also does very well with food prep

@gregblake2764 Год назад

I've had a Buck Vanguard for 20+ years with wood scales and 420HC steel. It's a very functional knife. At the time I brought it was my do everything knife. Butchered deer and rabbits, cleaned fish, cut rope, carved feathersticks, batoned to split wood, whittled with it, cut up boxes, and did some carving, plus cut meat, chopped veggies. The hollow ground blade make it very slicing. Easy to sharpen, holds an edge. I love mine. Pretty hard to go wrong with it. Cabela's is supposed to have an upgraded version out of S30V.

@panagiotissoufliotis6558 Год назад

Really good review of a really bad knife. This isn't even by the term a scandi grind. I have a Mora Heavy Duty Companion and that's the end. And if someone has the budget, and wants to have something more premium with character , just go and buy a Helle , Ahti , Marttini etc , with all having amazing leather seaths , and excellent quality, with great steel options.

What is driving the "Thin Handle" designs these days? Similar problems with the Benchmade Anonimus. Is it to appeal to the "concealed carry" blade people? I can understand why a smallish hunting knife may have that kind of design to primarily be used in a pinch grip. You need some width at the back where the web of your hand presses and the outer fingers cancel the torque.

@eyeofthetiger4184 Год назад

G'day Bob, it does get a bad rap from the previous versions and of course the branding. I've had one for years and beat the hell out of it, more out of curiosity than anything and it's held up fine. They use a 9Cr19MoV steel on this model, which I've found to be pretty decent stuff. Great sheath IMO, the fire steel works well, the hammer pommel works well the whistle works and the sharpener works ok-ish, (well enough to get out of strife). For those that cant stand the large orange "BG" on the handle, Wilson wrap it, or color it in with a black sharpie, lol. I do have plenty of more premo knives that I'd take out on the trail first, but as a bang for buck package, not sure there has ever been better value out there. I'd suggest pair it with a BK-9, machete or some other big fella and you'd be in excellent shape. Perhaps an unpopular view, don't care, I can only call it as I see it. Certainly would be interesting to see what Aaron has to say. Cheers Duke.
