Hey man I got to tell you, you are one of if not my favorite gear reviewer. I really like the fact that you don’t swear like a lot of other reviewers. I can watch your videos around my family and I don’t have to worry about what you say. I really appreciate that. Please keep up the great videos.

I'm partial to larger overbuilt pocket knives. Small knives are great, until you need something bigger. I was edc-ing (sp?) a Gerber Propel Downrange Auto, but lately I'm carrying a Hogue X5 4" spearpoint flipper.

@friskywildthing 4 месяца назад

@@acid6urns X5s are pricey, going for about $200+ now, and that's for a non-auto flipper. Great looking, sturdy, American made knives, but Hogue doesn't use ball bearings in them. Not sure they're still in production. I've never been interested in SOG knives, but that Prohen looks like a winner.

@hunterglaspell 4 месяца назад

One thing I appreciate from your channel is you actually field test your gear. Most “knife reviewers” carry their knives for a week, maybe cut a few things, and give their thoughts on a tabletop. There isn’t anything necessarily wrong with this, and I understand with some like Metal Complex who have so many knives to review it’s hard to do a full field test on all of them. It just ain’t the same as real world testing though.

@gideonstactical 4 месяца назад

Really appreciate it!

@gregblake2764 4 месяца назад

Nice, tight review of the SOG prohen folder. Given the price and it being a tactical/self-defense blade I'm okay with D2 steel because with this type of knife its piercing ability is more important than slicing. There is a bit of cool factor to the design. It actually would pair nicely with a S&W Equalizer as a self-defense combo. Biggest question is how sturdy is the lock?

@Muscovy7 3 месяца назад

Extremely strong. Crossbar locks are traditionally insanely strong and SOG’s XR version holds up well. You could probably baton with it.

Have had the Prohen XR since fall and in my pocket now. Great knife. Wanted something larger, with one hand operation that is very concealable. Kind of a do-all. Would be perfect if made in the USA, with S35VN or similar. Obviously, would cost a lot more. Thanks!

Nice review. I’d probably throw out the cold steel voyager series as a competitor with the Snaggletooth opening thumbstud (check those out if you’ve never seen them!!!!). Or upgrade steel by shifting to the Recon 1. Or dress it up by shifting to the Code 4. Apologies…..Cold Steel fanboy here. 😂

Cold Steel Voyager Clip Point guy here. And I will be putting a snaggle tooth on it soonest. Now I've not used mine for much, other then cutting cordage, breaking down cardboard boxes and even food prep in the kitchen. And it worked well for all of those chores. I actually bought it for a self defense knife. But now I have the Espada XL in G10, and it is now my EDC Self Defense knife :)

@clintonlewis1261 4 месяца назад

@eyeofthetiger4184 4 месяца назад

G'day Aaron, no doubt there's plenty of similarly designed folders out there, (incidentally, I've just been using the ol' Recon 1 .... in the garden, of all places, this morning, .... tactically ....... grafting tomato plants, lol). Yeah I'd prefer a steel upgrade, though I believe the CPM version of D2 is superior to the "garden variety" ; ) and represents very good value. Main thing is, (although ideally, it's a little short for a self defense role IMO), ultimately, if you dont mind a bit of weight in the pocket, these well made tactical jobs can do everything that can be expected of a folder I reckon. And good to see SOG, and their respective designers, progressively getting more in tune with the contemporary groove, (again IMO). Cheers Duke.

@bdcochran01 4 месяца назад

1. Yes. Your comment on training. A very big "yes". The skill is in the person, not the tool. 2. I was impressed with sticking the knife into wood and it not inducing a wobble . . . which would have disqualified the knife. I love the handle design . . . although I don't know if it would fit my hand. The ergonomics appear to be great. To the uninitiated, a straight handle might be desirable as appears on many folders, but it doesn't work ergonomically. Yes, it is overbuilt. However that is desirable. I was carrying an acient, first generation Spyderco Delica today on my walk in the neighborhood. When there is a danger of shtf, I want that overbuilt knife. So what is ovebuilt folder next to the computer, a Spyerco plain edge Police model.

Other than that rant, this SOG is a cool looking knife. The other options, especially the Kershaw, look great, too. I dig the SOG brand, just wish they'd make something in the USA for a change.
