Great knife for the ranch - SOG Specialty Knives & Tools Pillar Fixed Blade Knives

I've had many sog knives in the past and this is the best yet. I have a ranch and the daily routine of chores and feeding puts any knife to the test. I've gone 2 weeks with the Pillar CPMS35VN steel blade and touched it up once on a steel, just a couple of strokes to refresh the keen edge. Cutting rope, slicing feed bags and wacking small brush and branches out of the trail are all a breeze and don't seem to dull the blade. I carry the knife in another sheath which is leather as it is more comfortable for riding horses and atv's. The Kydex supplied sheath is first class and adjustable with a solid "click" snapping the knife into place for minimal risk of loss. My hands are on the small side so the handle is a perfect fit but bigger hands may want a little more substance to grip as the handle tends to be flatter as opposed to round. Sog is a local company here in the area and I have been there several times to look at their products once having a bladesmith assist me and giving my FlashII a sharpening while I waited no charge just because he wanted to. I love the fact this knife is made in the USA. All in all this knife is a home run. Good job Sog with Made In The USA.
