Great Knife for Hiking, Camping or Working Outdoors
934184
This knife is exactly as represented on Amazon and by SOG on its website, so I won't go into detail. It is a perfect size for carry when hiking or camping. It is too light and too small for chopping wood or batoning, but it is perfectly suited for all the smaller tasks in setting up camp or on the trail. I recently purchased a Seal Pup Elite for a gift and find there are four obvious differences between it and this Seal Pup. The Elite has a TiNi coating on the blade which is arguably more durable than the powder coating on the Seal Pup. The Elite has a straight edge option while the Seal Pup seems to offer only a partially serrated blade. Depending on the purpose, each edge feature has it's advantages. The Elite has a rasp-like spine whereas the Seal Pup has a smooth spine. Finally, the Elite is made in Taiwan whereas the Seal Pup is made in China. Other than the intentional differences as noted, I see no difference in the fit or finish of the Elite vs. the Seal Pup. Apparently the Elite may be shipped with the nylon "molle" compatible sheath or the molded "kydex" type sheath, so be sure you get the one you want. The regular Seal Pup is shipped with the nylon sheath. Both sheaths are well made. The kydex sheath will probably be a little more durable, but it doesn't have a vertical strap that allows the knife to me mounted on a "molle" compatible pack. A "kydex" sheath can be purchased separately, so if you get the nylon and later want to purchase the other, they are available. If money is no object I'd recommend the Elite, but for the difference, there is nothing wrong with the standard Seal Pup. If the size and weight of the Seal Pup is what you want you can't go wrong with either.

man, this is a great knife!! I'd classify this as the perfect recreational camp knife - it's not too big, but it's big enough to chop up kindling. the weighted edge allows for great hacking, or you can embed the blade into your wood, and hit the back for a good, accurate chop. And it looks cool as hell!

I bought this to use on the trail, but I've already found dozens of uses for it around the house. The knife is super sharp, the spring action on the pliers is handy and makes any job easier, and the other various uses make it as versatile as you could possibly want. Better than a toolbox and fits  in my pocket.

Great multi use knife to throw in your pack for camping trips.  Sharp edge and great handle material.  Great length for chopping you way through medium sized brush.

Excellent knife! I got this for a little over $40, and am very pleased with my purchase. I love hiking/camping/bushcraft, and carry a 4.5 inch Kephart as my primary carry. I wanted bigger knife for batoning logs of bigger diameter, chopping and as a make-shift machete (especially for my trekking in Thailand). This knife strikes sparks from a ferro rod brilliantly. It batons thick logs like butter. Of course it's full-tang. The sheath is high quality (reminds me of a SOLID gun holster), and the belt loop swivels, so the long length shifts while you're sitting- avoiding cumbersome discomfort. You can do finer tasks with it (with great care & adjustment), but I'd recommend another small knife if this was your primary carry (like a folding lock blade) for cleaning fish/small game and fine carving. IT'S LIKE HAVING A HATCHET THAT CAN ALSO DO EVERYTHING A KNIFE CAN!

I love the value of the knife.  Great price and it is a great product too.  Good edge on knife, holder is lightweight.  Great for camping and hiking.  Knife is not too big or small, fits in small pouch on backpack or fits nicely on hip.  Recommend to all!!

I like knives, I like sharp knives, and I like being able to sharpen knives while hiking and camping. This little tool hits all those needs, and it works fantastically. Make sure to have a stable grip while sharpening though, as the "base" is just another side with angled stones.

Another totally awesome knife from the bear grylls line. Its super useful sturdy and really comfortable in hand. This knife will also accompany me into any outdoors situation. Totally love it.

I purchased this for my bug out and field bags.  I couldn't find this item in any of  the big brand camping stores.  iIt will do the job in emergencies and is handy to have. I like the serrated blade that can be open with one hand.  It's handsome, sturdy, well made and bigger and heavier than I thought.  I carry this in my day pack and not  in  my pants pockets.  The blade is sharp and once extended the knife sits in your hands quite nicely (I have large hands).  Besides the tools shown it also has tweezers and a plastic tooth pic in the handle which is normal for a Victorinox  product.

Hey sports fans.  While not a pocket knife that is in my normal rotation, I could see me putting this to good use on a camping trip, or fishing trip, etc.  Purchased back in 2013, I have used this at work and put it through its paces.  Its held up very well.  It is rather lager (albeit lightweight), so you may consider other options.  Benchmade (Griptilian) or Spyderco (Paramilitary 2) are a few good choices.  I also like to use a Buck Vantage Pro.  While not unhappy with this Aegis Tanto blade, I'll still keep it in the collection.  Have a great day.

There are many other good reviews for this knife; suffice it to say that I am very pleased with this purchase for the price.  The robust blade, the smooth action and the handle size (I wear size L gloves) all make this my favorite for a general use camping knife, which includes kitchen use and woodcraft.

This is a great knife. Super sharp sturdy blade. Definitely a good tool for a survival pack or even to carry daily for self defense.

This is a great knife. I have had many folding pocket knives at various price ranges and this knife is the best I've had. It's a heavy knife which I really like, but others might go for a lighter knife.

PROS: Sharp out of the box, stays sharp a long time (I cut a few hundred sheets of paper without dulling too much), blade seems to resist rust so far (I have used this on live trees, weeds, and in water) even though the high carbon blade, thumb lock seems sturdy and does not accidentally release, the thumb stud for one handed opening is large and well placed, the grips have a good texture on them in wet or dry conditions. The clip keeps the knife oriented correctly in my pocket for fast a fast draw. It's heavy, feels solid in hand, well balanced.

CONS: When the blade started to dull it was starting to roll, but I have been very rough on this knife. It's heavy, I would not carry this backpacking or mountain biking. The knife is a little difficult to open, takes some practice to fling it open.

Overall this knife was great for me. I needed a heavy duty work knife that might last longer than a few weeks, I have had this knife a few weeks now and it shows no signs of wear (other than a dull blade). Being heavy is pro and a con, it's great for work but I would want a lighter knife for recreation.

This knife isn't too big to carry every day; its sharp and well made.  Its not something you would use for a lot of outdoor camping/survival type situations but its a good working knife or backup for your big camping knife.  I like the grippy handle; it gives me confidence I'm not going to slip my hands onto the blade.  Can't go wrong with this one.

Awesome Knife - my new Favorite.  I really like the locking blade.  I have another one similar in design without the locking blade and always feel like its going to fold up on me.  The design is slim enough to carry in my front pocket and the clip ensures it won't fall out by accident.  Blade is sturdy, strong and sharp.  I camp/hike alot and this is my new go to knife for outdoors everyday
