Page 2 of 4 - Super Sog Bowie, Black, Ambidextrous Reviews

Awesome knife, one that has earned a spot in my shop for daily usage. The Knife and Sheath (for purposes of the review) are looked at as a single item. Hence, the lost star is due the sheath, yes there were minor (small) inclusions in the blade and handle - but nothing compared to the sheath - it is like taking an awesome power plant from a Formula-1 and stuffing it into a rusted out AMC Gremlin - just not right for so many reasons.

I recently became aware of the original MAC V SOG knives after reading three books written by Special Forces , MAC V SOG veteran John Stryker Meyer and began searching for a clone. After finding doing much research and also reading about SOGs copy being made in Taiwan I still had to buy the SOG 2.0 Bowie regardless and I couldn't be happier! The knife is brand new and will not be abused but so far it seems very well made, the only negative thing I can say is the sheath is cheap and to thin for this beautiful knife and I really wish SOG would provide a better sheath for future SOG bowies.

Fit and finish was perfect. It will definitely become one of my favorite knives to use on backwoods or desert outings. It would make a great survival tool.

All in all I would like to say that I am pretty impressed with the quality and make of this knife. Absolutely more knife than I expected. I recently purchased a Super SOG Bowie. The quality of the blade and the leather handle is outstanding, I expect I’ll be handing this down to my son when I’m gone. ( which won’t be anytime soon LOL )

Great knife. Heavy could use to cut steak or chop wood or kill a bear

Very happy with the knife and was surprised that it comes with such a good quality sheath

For two decades, I had dreamt of owning this outstanding reissue if the original combat Bowie made in Okinawa for the fabled Studies and Observations Group. Don't go out on patrol without an SOG Bowie!

The knife is long and beautiful. The handle is as much a work of art as much as the blade it is a part of. Now let's get to why there aren't 5 stars. The leather sheath is so tight that it will scrape the black off that beautiful blade. Now that is a shame since I purchased this for the knife and not the sheath. I own a Kiku Matsuda fixed blade, I have worked for a Surplus store and have sold SOG fixed blades and I can tell you that they can do better. This blade needs a kydex sheath option. To not provide one is for SOG to not listen to the desires of those that buy their blades. Go ahead and get the get but take the time to let them know that you want a kydex option.

The knife is great, the sheat not. I wish to have a kydex sheat, not the leather sheat with sharping stone: it looks like the little pathfinder i was in my little years....

I love the SOG Super Bowie, it looks great and handles nicely. My one and only complaint is the sheath. It's a legendary battle knife and I carry it often; I would like to see a sheath with a backhand draw. It's the fastest, most natural way to draw a battle knife. Other than that I've never had a knife before or since that can quarter 3 elk without stopping to sharpen the blade.
