SOG SEAL Pup vs. Camillus Pilot Survival Knife / Ontario 499 ASEK review & demonstration

Which knife is better, the SOG SEAL Pup or the Camillus Pilot Survival Knife? They’re similar in size but differ greatly in weight and blade material. The Camillus is much heavier due to the awesome butt cap on the handle, and the SOG’s serrations are far superior to the saw teeth on the ASEK. The Camillus blade is 4-7/8″ long and is made of 1095 tool steel, which is easy to sharpen.

Benchmade Mini-Griptilian Knife 557SBK

[rating:4.5]

There she is. My newest daily carry knife. The Benchmade Mini-Griptilian. I chose the black on black tanto model with serration (model 557SBK). If you have never had the pleasure of checking out a Benchmade let me urge you to do so. These are some of the best production knives you can find. Benchmade has 4 different production classifications for their knives. Red Class, Black Class, Blue Class, and Gold Class. For more details on the classes of Benchmade knives check out this link: http://www.benchmade.com/about_knives/anewclass.asp.

The Mini-Griptilian is a Blue Class knife (Gold is their highest class, Blue is second) and comes in a swanky blue box. A couple of things I love about Benchmade is their Lifetime Warranty (defects and workmanship) as well as their “LifeSharp” service which allows you to send the knife back to the factory for a resharpening to “factory edge” for only to cover shipping! Speaking of sharp, Benchmade ships their knives with a razor edge, heed the warning on the box “Handle With Care – Benchmade knives are packaged extremely sharp”
