Survival Steel
When I think of SOG knives, I immediately think of very strong and sharp knives at a price that almost everybody can afford. Their Seal Pup Elite fixed blade knife is no exception.
With a suggested retail value of $105, the Seal Pup Elite is certainly affordable but do the materials warrant the price tag? Here's my review:
What I like about the knife:
1. The hollow ground AUS-8A stainless steel blade is 4.85 inches long. This means that you get excellent edge retention in a size that is portable, yet big enough to give you some awesome cutting power.
Hollow ground means that the blade is thicker at the spine than at the edge itself. This is a great feature because the knife is razor sharp, but still thick enough at the spine to take a serious beating.
2. SOG Seal Pup Elites are offered with either plain or half serrated edges. The serration pattern on SOG knives will tear through cardboard, rope, or fibrous material like butter.
The clip point style blade has proven itself to be a favorite amongst military, police and even hunters. It is very versatile in terms of performance in the hunting field, emergency situations or just everyday utility work.
3. When you hold your Seal Pup elite for the first time, you will notice the amazing grip that the zytel handle provides.
The checkered pattern gives you a non-slip grip in even the worst conditions imaginable. This material is also super tough and will not be affected by elements such as rain, snow, mud, etc.
4. Full tang construction means that the blade steel goes all the way to the end of the handle. Knives made with a full tang are much stronger than their half or ¾ tang counterparts. You'll be glad to know that every SOG Seal Pup Elite is made with a full tang.
5. Your Seal Pup knife will come with a rugged nylon sheath. This type of sheath is not only tough, but it comes with an added pocket on the outside, which is perfect for storing survival items such as matches, sharpeners, food, etc.
What I didn't like:
I wish that SOG offered this knife with partial jimping (grooves) on the spine. Normally, the Seal Pup will come with jimping along the entire spine of the knife.
Overall:
If you're looking for a survival, hunting, or everyday work knife then the SOG Seal Pup Elite might be the perfect knife for you. It is hair-shaving sharp, incredibly tough and affordable on almost any budget.

Which of these would be most important for survival?
Survival Simulation- You are stranded with 5 other people left alive from a plane crash in northern Canada. The daily temperature is 25 below zero (F), night gets down to 40 below. The countryside is wooded and there are several creeks criss-crossing the area. The nearest town is 20 miles away. Your clothes are appropriate for a business meeting.
You salvage the following:
A ball of steel wool,
a small ax,
a loaded .45 pistol,
can of crisco,
newspapers (one for each person),
cigarette lighter (w/o fluid),
extra change of clothing for each person,
20x20 piece of heavy-duty canvas,
sectional air map made of plastic,
one quart of 100-proof whiskey,
a compass,
and family-sized chocolate bars (one for each person).
Please list possible uses for each, combining items and such. Any (serious) input would be greatly appreciated.
1. Is the canvas 20 X 20 feet? inches? meters? Is it heavy cotton or some lightweight material? Is it waterproof? If it's big enough, wrap all five of you in it for warmth, or make a lean-to, or make a wind-block so you can build a fire, or wrap it around a three-pole frame to make a travois to drag an injured person in.
2. Put on all the clothes: for warmth, and so you don't have to carry them. Stuff the newspapers into shoes, or into shirtfronts, for insulation from cold.
3. Use the map and compass to figure out where you are and to find your way to the town.
4. Use the whiskey to disinfect wounds and medicinally, for shock.
5. Slowly nibble the chocolate bars for calories/energy.
6. Use the axe to chop through ice for water, to clear a path through underbrush, to cut splints for broken bones or support poles for a travois, and to make small shreds of wood to start a fire for warmth.
7. If the wood is too wet to start a fire with it, use shreds of steel wool along with shreds of cotton from inside the cigarette lighter -- it will still have remnants of lighter fluid on it -- to make a small pile and focus sunlight through the glass compass lens on it to start a fire.
8. Use the Crisco to salve wounds to prevent infection, or to waterproof the canvas, or to make a small oil lamp,or to keep some small bits of kindling dry for later use starting fires.
9. Keep the .45 dry. If possible, save it until you think you might be heard by searchers/rescuers...you're only twenty miles from town, and plane crashes cause rescue efforts. If you must, fire it to frighten away dangerous animals: DON'T wound'em and tick'em off!
