Top 10 production knives of 2009 – SOG Agency

Posted: January 19th, 2010 | Author: Thomas | Filed under: Tactical steel & outdoors magic | No Comments »

 

Knife number 7 from my “Top production knives of 2009″ list is the SOG Agency, I had seriously mixed feelings about putting a SOG knife on the list because I dont really like the company anymore.

I feel SOG has strayed from its roots as a military/combat knife manufacturer and turned into a gimmicky joke of a company (my opinion only, no bitching people!) with customer service issues, that being said…the agency is a sexy sexy sexy knife.

I have not bought it yet but it has been on my to buy list on and off all year round, and for that reason alone it deserves to be on my  best of ’09 list.

 

Things I love

• Stacked leather handles.
• Classic look.
• Super quick and curvy blade.
• Vicious fighter.
• Nice guard.
• Lanyard hole is a nice detail.
• Just goddamn beautiful.

 

Things I hate

• AUS-8 blade steel which is just pathetic for a knife that costs 200$ MSRP, I would want VG-10.
• The sheath felt badly made.
• Made by SOG.

 

With this knife I feel one of two things will happen, I will either repress my instincts and not buy it or I will get it once everything else on the list (its a very long list!) has been bought.

Regardless of my feelings towards SOG this knife is a stunning stunning fighter and I have a love/hate relationship with it.

Go handle it, if you like it just buy it so you dont end up a twisted, confused shell of a man like me!

 

A+
