Too rich, too thin, and too many knives: three things that don’t exist.

If there was EVER a tool that made basic man into modern man, it was the knife. The book? Pfft! What book lets you cut away a vine, peel a potato, then whittle some art while you wait for it to cook? The wheel? Ha! What wheel ever let you intimidate some jerkface looking for trouble while he’s still across the street? The gun? Try using a gun for painting and sculpting, see how that works out for you.

Really, there’s no tool as versatile as a faithful old knife. Which is why the SOG Swedge with Kydex Sheath is a pretty cool thing to own, even if it does have a funny name. If you don’t have a knife of your own, consider this your new full tang partner in crime. And if you’ve got one you prefer… well, it never hurts to have a backup. What if one day you decide to take up juggling?
