Knives

I carry on my hunting belt a U.S.A. made production knife "Sog Pillar" that I like real well for function. It is just under 10 inches overall, 5 inch blade, full tang, .160 thick made from CPM S35VN stainless steel, I think they are cryo treated and hrc test at 59-61. They have a plenty sharp point for sticking, have a slight "back grind" on top of the blade, that along with a slight scallop on top of the blade just as the blade reaches full width provides some relief for real easy in and out when sticking. I would call the grind a high flat sabre grind making it real good for slicing and enough belly sweep for functional skinning, the blade at the widest point on the cutting edge is an inch and three sixteenths, with plain black canvas micarta scales that I modified slightly for a little more grip. The S35VN steel holds an edge well though there are steels with better edge retention yet it is fairly easily sharpened is well rated for toughness and resists chipping and corrosion well.
It's not nearly as crafty as you guys handmade knives though haha. I still think that finger guard you guys hammer in is the neatest thing on fixed blade knives.
