QUOTE(kevtan @ Apr 26 2006, 01:18 PM) Not to put a damper on you but the SOG Pentagon looks very like the outlawed dagger and is not a very good carry piece. I prefer the double edge blade for many reason, and that's why i chose it, either that or KABAR Thorn or spear design. I also favour the semi serrated edge for harder cuts. Looks balanced too, so that's another plus point. And there comes my bias againts folding knives and their weight and to to some extent, their grip.I dont think u can get these models locally and will have to import them from the US or u can go to SG and visit a dealer there by the name of Sheares Trd. But beware that there are customs duites and the question of the legallities of the knives u wanna import. Heres some links of the knife u want Pentagon Elite II 5" Pentagon Elite 4" For newbies I wud recommend the Benchmade 550 or the 555 Griptillions or Spyderco FRN especially the Endura Spydercos and to make sure that the blades stay sharp Sharpmaker Stay safe.  Just thought it make the best GP knife since a bowie is out of the question and a tanto is too long. |

Looking for a hunting/utility knife with decent edge for skinning and mercy kills, of course other chores. I'm generally happy with the kind of design that exists with the Kershaw 0100, the SOG Pentagon/Seal Pup, the Benchmade 140 and so on.
Question i have is, which has the best steel? As i would like this purchase to last as long as possible, a blade with excellent steel is a must. Anyone got any good or bad experiences with blades breaking, dulling too quickly and so on? |
