Customer Rating: - Strong Blade
I own several SOG knives and this is no exception ..... GREAT.

Pro: Holds an edge, easy to sharpen, secure carry case
Cons: Handle is a little small for large hands, hard to draw when hung upside down from my gear.

Customer Rating: - Excellent survival knife for it's price!
What can I say? This is a great knife for the cost! The pup elite is a beefed up version of the pup, and well worth the slight increase in price. Fixed blade, full tang, AUS 8 steel (decent toughness and edge-holding) non-slip handle, decently sized blade, SOG quality. The top finger guard isn't very obtrusive when using the knife in delicate tasks, and the spine rasp is pretty tolerable under your thumb. The choil is unnecessary but fine. The knife handles great, and I am thoroughly satisfied with it.

Although I haven't used it extensively yet (as in "drop me off in the middle of the jungle" use), I'd say you definitely could accomplish most bushcraft chores with this knife. It would work well in a survival situation. I purchased the straight edge for my field blade, but I might just go ahead and get the combo version of this knife as well to use as a general camp knife. So far it's handled everything I've thrown at it.

The nylon sheath provided is great if you want to carry a leatherman or SAK as well. I've fit a SAK Rucksack or a Leatherman Wave in there. The kydex sheath (sold separately) is a better sheath if you're looking for easy deployment, smaller size, and more rigging options. The knife is slightly easier to unsheathe one-handed and quickly from the kydex sheath, but it really doesn't take much more effort using the nylon one. My pup used to rattle slightly in the kydex sheathe, but I've made adjustments to the sheath and it rattles no more (see sog site for sheath adjustment).

Overall, great knife. Sure it's not a Fallkniven or Bark River, but for the price, none better.
