    IMPORTANT : I mentioned in the video that the standard sheath has the same pocket clip on it and that is WRONG info, the standard sheath does NOT have a pocket clip...I forgot to edit that out...please thumbs up this comment so everyone can see it, thanks!

      Hey kinda random considering the topic of this video but is there any way you could do a video on tips and drills that beginner flippers can do to get more comfortable with a live blade? I've cut myself a couple of times and it has made me nervous to use my knife. Thanks!

    I can tell you Seal Strike really did a good job responding to what features are useful. I had Seal Pup Elite for 17 years now and, it still is my primary knife for just about anything and you may think military would not use a knife often, we do a lot. We spend the majority of our time setting up camps, and putting things together/down which involves cutting ropes, canvases and etc.
    The biggest pain for Seal Pup Elite was the lack of glass breaker. Usually when you are throwing something through a window, you use the knife the cut the bug net, break the window, then throw it in. With the former we had to cut the net, then use the rifle to break the window, which is not as convenient or fast as using the knife to do all, which is where we liked Seal Team Elite, but that knife was way too big and heavy to be worth while.
    Thanks for the video, I'll probably buy Seal Strike but I'm quite upset with how SOG lost its quality so much, I hope you can comment on its quality after long term use.

    • @sjl3137
      @sjl3137 4 місяці тому

      FYI, the "pommel" is the glass breaker.

    • @sjl3137
      @sjl3137 4 місяці тому

      Also the grooves where you are putting the thumb on is not for the thumb, it's for when weapons jam extra badly and we need an extra grip on the charging handle. It is supposed to for example, grip the charging handle on a M249 and pull back, which is why you put your thumb behind the guard.

  • @aspenschroeder6117
    @aspenschroeder6117 8 років тому +1

    I have had this knife for a while and I'm pretty impressed. It holds the edge pretty well for a SOG. I have yet to use the sharpener. No knife deserves that torture unless completely necessary.

  • @MrSenset
    @MrSenset 8 років тому +2

    This knife is just another example of what I've felt for a long time.
    I just don't know about SOG nowadays. Decades ago I started off being a SOG fanboy. But over the years I've witnessed Cold Steel take SOG's game and just plain play it better on all fronts and do that cheaper then them.
    I would really like to see a few knife companies like SOG and Gerber under new management and clean up their acts.
    I really do miss those awesome knife companies of my youth

    I aways take the *insert military/police group* approved branding thing with a handful of salt. In the both jobs you use a blade occasionally for opening boxes and food and stuff, real general use. In the police its a little more important to have an edge as occasionally you go to suicide/attempt suicide hanging jobs, but that's generally the job for the leatherman serrated edge. Fixed blades for LEOs would generally be the rapid deployment last ditch things like a small karambit mounted to the core area. I don't have military time under my belt, but guys I know do carry fixed blades, and use thrm for opening boxes and crates and MREs. The knife companies always make out that the blades see far greater glory than that though, its all a bit silly.

  • @specopsbrat5130
    @specopsbrat5130 8 років тому +1

    Check out the OKC Mark 3 Navy Diver knife. It's about $80 and it's the same knife that UDT/SEALs actually carry.

    • @specopsbrat5130
      @specopsbrat5130 8 років тому

      And it's made of 440a stainless steel so you can actually dive in salt water with it and it won't rust. Don't feed the Chinese SOG monster.

    Jeff, a second thought, (for a vid from you). Almost begs the question....why haven't we seen more vids in context of what you mention here on serrations... e.g. do some demo vids on why you prefer straight edge vs. serrated, and....what serrations (also demonstrated) are better than others ?....Good suggestion ??

  • @regularguy9219
    @regularguy9219 8 років тому

    SOG should've made the height of the ferro rod adjustable and left out the sliding piece that exposes the blade. I noticed the sheath gets chewed up from striking it.

  • @yolmak1793
    @yolmak1793 7 років тому

    Thanks for the honest review. Yeah, metal overlay is useless. Serrations suck, the top guard is in the way. A few flaws with this knife. But it's good it's only 4 mm thick. The Seal Pub is too thick at 5 mm.

  • @kght222
    @kght222 8 років тому

    5:37 doesn't need to protrude much, how far can the plastic scrape down before the rod falls out is the question. the knife will knock down the sides of the plastic well enough to probably ignore it in the use of the rod.

    FYI skull is not a seal its a Vietnam sf group called (studies & observation group) or (special operations group) the group is kind of famous for their knives and the knife company (sog) was inspired by the special forces group

    • @cutlerylover
      @cutlerylover  8 років тому

      +Om Tony nope...when you buy a knife new the VAST majority of them are properly oiled right out of the box, but if you handled them often you should wipe them down with a very lightly oiled rag every so often to ensure the oils from your hand or the humidity in the storage area doesnt start to rust them, thats all, as far as cleaning goes they only need to be cleaned if they get dirty or dusty

    The flare is to keep your hand from sliding down on to the blade when stabbing into an enemy body. I don't think it's designed for wood carving detailing.

    • @cutlerylover
      @cutlerylover  8 років тому

      +john- waxerone thats what any guard is for which is fine but the guard on the back of the knife is not needed....if they wish to flare out both sides thats fine but dont add jimping you cant touch and a ramp thats never going to be used...

    • @john-waxerone6972
      @john-waxerone6972 8 років тому

    Light knife weight = to that much more ammo a Soldier can carry. Shroud cutter yes... insulated communication wires... Oh Hell Yes. Most of sentry rear attack slashes to the femurs and throat veins... Will be landing the users fleshy inside part of their forefinger between the 1st and 2nd knuckle in that recessed sector just front of that rubber hilt, and not their thumb. The rubber part of the hilt is there to maintain a non slip grip as the user pulls the knife across those said veins. Therefore, "Seal Strike"
    But what would i know about such things?

    Why is it 78$ on Amazon US but 130 everywhere else? Makes me so sad :c

    • @cutlerylover
      @cutlerylover  8 років тому +1

      +Zevinox amazon usually has the best prices thats why I post thew amazon links but sometimes dealers have a slightly better price, but its rare...always look around for the best prices just because I post a link to make it easy to find doesnt mean you just look there, always try to get the best price you can find :) ps I know some guys outside the US that make froiends with people in the US on the knife forums that buy knives cheaper here in the states and then ship them out to their friends over seas...you will save money even with the high shipping costs

    • @BattleForcePvP
      @BattleForcePvP 8 років тому

      +cutlerylover First of all, thanks for the answer :) You're by far my favourite UA-camr :D
      The thing is that most things on amazon US are not available in my country or crazy expensive on amazon EU. Just like this knife for example, it's 130€
      The problem with getting to know people who'd send me stuff from the US is that basically 99% of them are afraid of getting scammed, myself included.
      Talking about price, the most I'd ever spend on a knife is (as I commented on your "my currently most expensive knife" video) 140€. Adding 50-60€ shipping to the price of a decent knife is sadly close to that if not higher, and since I've just finished school I'm not a guy who can drop 150 - 200€ on a single knife every now and then. I wouldn't even EDC any of my knives that cost more than 40€ because they're just too expensive for me to rebuy.
      I'm not complainig or anything, if I reaaaaaally wanted one, I'd probably buy one for 130, it's just the fact that it's almost twice the price for people in Europe (or at least Austria) that kind of pisses me off :D

  • @tronclay
    @tronclay 8 років тому

    this seems like a really cool knife and id honestly like to have one but without the special sheath this knife seems extremely subpar for the 60-70$ price tag. I really don't see anything unique, special or particularly attractive about the knife itself, it seems like a lot of the selling points on this knife has to do with the special sheath itself so the idea of having to spend an extra 20-30$ to get the sheath seems a lot like having to spend extra money on video game to buy downloadable content that feels like it should have been part of the original game.. 90$ just seems like too much money for a knife like this with this kind of steel where a major part of the setup is a cool sheath that isn't even part of the basic purchase. I got an Ontario USA RAT-3 for 90$ at a local shop no less so I have a hard time justifying buying this knife for that price when I can get something that, simply put, is just such a better deal such as the RAT-3 in high carbon with micarta scales and a perfectly usable sheath. If this Seal Strike knife was around 50$ including the gimmicky yet still cool sheath then id be interested in it in a heartbeat. But a knife this size that's not only being sold as a gimmicky setup with something like AUS-8 steel and the main gimmicky part, the only part that's really interesting about it, the sheath, costing an extra 20$ I really cant see myself buying this setup for 90$ and I really cant see any reason to buy this knife without the special sheath seeing as how that's really the only unique aspect of it.That being said I personally love SOG knives in general, I own the SOG Snarl, the SOG Spec Elite in VG-10 (my favorite knife steel) as well as some other various SOG knives like their 3 blade throwing set. I respect, appreciate and encourage unique ideas coming through from the knife makers and part of me likes supporting the continuation of unique and bold ideas but the price has to be right. I don't have a lot of money to waste on needless knife purchases so I need them to be worthwhile.

      Sorry to hear that man. Im happy to hear you still love knives though. Swiss army Recruits i think are only like 15-20$, that would be a great option. Also i am a huge fan of the Kershaw Chill. When i bought mine it was 16$, i think they have gone up a bit in price since then but only by one or two bucks, i edc'ed mine for a couple years and loved it. If you are looking more into collecting than using, like "viking Mckim" said the Opinels are really cool.
