Product Description

From the Manufacturer

After surviving one of the most extensive test and evaluation programs ever undertaken by the U.S. Government, including knives from most U.S. cutlery manufacturers, the SOG SEAL Knife triumphed. The SEALs are one of the most specialized elite military groups in the world today. SEALs must undergo one of the most rigorous training programs devised to produce the consummate warrior. Only a select few endure and earn the right to wear the SEAL Trident on their uniform. The SEAL knife evaluation program included: tip breaking stress, blade breaking limit, sharpness, edge retention, handle twist off force, two week salt water immersion tests, gasoline and acetylene torch resistance, chopping, hammering, prying, penetration tests, cutting six different types of rope and line, plus an intense hands-on competition in the field.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wicked Knife, April 19, 2007

This review is from: SOG Specialty Knives & Tools S37-N SEAL Knife 2000 with Nylon Sheath (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is one wicked knife,if you only buy one knife this is it.Total quality,very sharp,and excellent craftsmanship.You can cut small diameter rope without removing from sheath.Nice ballance to it,fits my big hands perfectly.When you take it out of the sheath,it just says "Don't mess with me!"
I like the SEAL knife so much, the bigger version ,the TIGERSHARK,is next on my list of fixed blade tactical knives.You could almost call it a small sword, than a knife.

This review is from: SOG Specialty Knives & Tools S37-N SEAL Knife 2000 with Nylon Sheath (Tools & Home Improvement)

I gave it 4 stars because really for recreational scuba diving IMO, a 7inch blade is too long. The Shorter "SEAL Pup" is a better knife. That said, this is a pretty tough knife. Not as strong as the Strider WB or TAC 10/11, but still strong enough for recreational scuba divers. Those other knives are also way more expensive, like 3x this one. The sheath which isn't pictured here is very high tech. It holds the knife firmly, has lots of straps and loops for almost any carry position. So a better choice than those cheapy but flashy dive knives from US Divers.

This is an excellent knife from SOG. All aspects of the knife show the high level of workmanship and attention to details. The blade is very strong and sharp.The handle feels good in the hand and provides a solid grip. It works well even when wet. Overall it's a great working knife and I'm very pleased with this purchase. As an aside, if this blade is too long, consider getting the smaller pup version. It's just as good and takes all sorts of abuse and much easier to carry about when hiking or doing outdoor work.
