"You can only lead from the front" is one of our favorite expressions. If you are one of those people who covet the "ultimate ultimate" then we have a surprise for you. The Team Leader exemplifies the exceptional with incredible balance and streamlined aesthetics. What you might not sense when you first pick up this work of art is how exotic the steel is. This is one of the first production knives to be manufactured from DuraTech 20CV, a powder metallurgy stainless tool steel. Also available in AUS-8 stainless for a great combination of performance and price. "All told, its an absolutely terrific knife." - David E. Petzal Field & Stream Magazine
This knife feels incredibly light in your hand. It is amazingly thin but has a reasonably thick spine for use as a survival knife. The knife feels great in your hand also. It has a nice grip swell that is very ergonomic. The handle also has very nice checkering on the grip scales that make it easy to hold onto when your hands are slimy or sweaty. The blade is a little bit of a hybrid shape (drop point/leaf point). It looks great. It also has jimping on the spine right where your thumb wants it so you can get a little leverage behind the blade. The knife cuts, push or draw cuts, very nicely The knife also comes with a very nice leather sheath. The sheath is thick leather and has the SOG logo imprinted on it. A little heavy if you prefer Kydex or something like that. I really like the sheath a lot. This is a fantastic fixed blade knife. It is my new favorite for camping, hunting, or whatever other outdoor projects I have going. Hard to describe how great it really is.
