I have many expensive knives in my collection. For some reason I love my Ace. It is my EDC. I have worn it daily for over 8 years now and the original plastic sheath (which I love for some reason) is still perfect, although the SOG symbol has worn off. Last year, my local Walmart had these on clearance for 4.99! So I had to buy all of them (6 in total)!

I got the SOG field knife a few years ago. Really good everyday carry, job sites, hunting, fishing, bushcraft, campsite, does it all well. Edge retention has been better than I expected. Love the handle grip. For the money ya can't go wrong. Oh and no rust , just wipe it off. A little gun oil and it's good to go.

Great video informative. I have three more heavy-duty companions 2 for different backpacks. And a SOG seal pup. Just for day hiking or if I need one. And they work great. The one more knife I have I use for yard work doing Plumbing in the woods beside my house it's had a lot of hard use and it's still cutting

Nice review! I just recently picked one of these up for an ultralight, ultracompact fixed blade option for more minimalist backpacking, as opposed to my Gerber strongarm which is my typical outdoors/survival knife. I always mount my knives to the waist belt on my packs and I don't like the lack of mounting options with the sheaths on the Mora knives. My HOPE was that the field knife would hold up to VERY OCCASIONAL batoning and emergency batoning and this review is reassuring 🙏🏽🤙🏽. I know the steel is junk by steel snob standards, but my thought is that it should be sufficient for occasional lightweight use and ultimately... If I need to replace it every few years... I paid $26. I'll just replace it

@canderoussnurd4265 Жыл бұрын

Purchased the Field Knife a few months back. It’s decent for what it is. I use it for tactical purposes. The sheath leaves much to be desired and I’ve had it come off my belt during rolling drills. But again for a $20 knife it’s fine. Once I have a few extra bucks to spend I’ll switch it out for a seal pup. If I had the money I’d go for the SOG Pillar. But for what it is the Field knife does fine. It’s the Savage Arms of knives.

@csh6220 4 жыл бұрын

I haven't had the problems of edge rolling/chipping with hollow grinds like so many others report. For years all I had was Buck knives (hollow grinds), so maybe the better steel is the reason I haven't had those problems. Either one on the knives shown would put a big smile on a young man's face Christmas morning. Polymer sheath's are safer and more robust than leather or nylon, especially for young men. I am surprised they are only $20 with the SOG name, no matter where they are made. Thanks for showing them.

Got a gift card to a sporting goods store while in high school, got the field knife and used it all the time untill I got an Esee 4. It’s extremely comfortable and while the blade doesn’t stay sharp terribly long it’s very easy to get a hair trimming edge on it. Most of the time now it sits in my car and it’s definitely nice to have something larger and tougher always tucked away in the center console

I took the Field Knife out on a multi day hike. I found it to be too light to be used for pounding in tent stakes. It did however work ok for cuttings nylon straps and line. What I really don't like about it is that the handle has a ridge around it that presses into the meat of my thumb uncomfortably.

I carried my Sog Field Knife for several months last year as a utility knife on my farm/ranch. Nice knife for the price and I wanted to test it a little. However I noticed rust creeping out of the handle at the base of the blade after a couple of months. The one thing I don't like is that cutting slot on the sheath. While walking the string on my compound bow entered the slot. It was not pretty. I immidiately placed a ranger band over it. My normal daily carry blade is a Mora Bushcraft Black in a kydex cross draw sheath.

@Shorty_Lickens 3 жыл бұрын

best reason to get a cheap knife is if you think you might need it someday but its definitely not going to get heavy use, like maybe something to leave in your garden shack, or an emergency kit or bug-out bag. In which case I think the $8.95 Mora is the best choice.

@mikeyyates5377 4 жыл бұрын

I have the ACE and have for about 2 years, Its actually taken all the abuse I've put it through which I'm surprised by. I would recommend it for anyone on a hard budget for a kind of a jack of all trades knife. Its also light enough to wear around with basketball shorts or pj pants inside the waist ... If they redid it with their cryo quenched AUS-8 or a 12cr28n for under 40$ I would throw my money at them.

I just picked up a Ace for 18 bucks at a flea market. I have to agree the Ace is cooler! It cuts sticks alright but I feel the thing is the tactical look to it. I was in the military for a little over 15 years and used many knives the blade shape is just familiar to me is it the best feild knife no but when you have used this shape of blade before it because familiar and you understand its limits and how to effectively use the knife.

@58jeffkenn 2 жыл бұрын

Re. sheaths. I have the SOG Field knife, but didnt like the tactical sheath. (sits too high, and feels unbalanced, although I realize this conceals the knife much better) For 20 bucks on Amazon I bought a Cold Steel Pendleton Lite Hunter - just for the sheath - The SOG fits perfectly, actually a bit better than the Cold Steel! And also to Gideonstactical ....LOVE your videos!

@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou 4 жыл бұрын

For 5 bucks the sog Ace is great. Only issue was the sheath came with many defects around the logo. That being said I do think the field knife looks better. I like that beefy exposed tang. That being said the Ace handle looks not so nice but it feels comfortable.

I'm looking at these knives because I got a gift card to a large retailer that doesn't have mora available on their website and out of the budget options SOG are probably about as good as I'm going to get (alongside some wool socks). Not that I need any more knives but free is free.

4116 is no match for 7cr17 mov, which is definitely superior to 8cr13mov. A steel composition chart is adequate to show the difference between 1.4116 Thyson Krupp stainless and 7cr17mov. Experience shows me 8cr13 mov is inferior even to 5cr15 mov on CRKTs S.P.E.W. so I would take 7cr17 over 8cr13 without even trying the 7cr first. The ACE is definitely cooler. I may update this comment with any updates on this steel. Got one on the way.
