SOG ボウイ Bowie 2.0 高級モデル アウトドアナイフ

Das Messer ist wie immer von SOG erstklassig verarbeitet und eines der besten Bowiemesser auf dem Markt .Kann nur sagen einfach top!!

I was quite pleased with this SOG Bowie 2.0 knife which I purchased in Sep 2025 and bears the Taiwan stamp. My only concern is that it may just be too beautiful to use. There had been some concerns in other reviews abouts the packaging and sheath. It arrived well packaged in a cardboard box with plastic molded insert to hold it in place with the sheath packaged underneath. The black leather sheath and appears well made with leather of adequate thickness. It has a small, single grit sharpening stone in the pocket. The black finished snaps seem to be made of brass, not plastic as opined in one post. Of note, the hole punched in the tip of the leather sheath for a tie down does not penetrate all the way through the front layer of the multiple layers of leather of the sheath. This appears to be done on purpose, perhaps to allow the purchaser the choice as to if they want a visible hole in the front of the sheath for a tie down cord or not. Certainly one could use a leather punch to make the hole penetrate the last layer if a tie down cord was desired. The knife itself appears quite well made and finished with attention to detail. It shaves the hair on my arm right out of the box. The black finish is beautiful as is the cork washer handle finish. I fear the beautiful black finish would accentuate any scratches from hard utility use. Note that the included photos show a 550 cord lanyard that is my addition and not included with the knife. The knife is large enough to be used in heavier utility activities such as chopping and prying yet small enough to not be overly heavy or clumsy even in my smaller hands. It could be used for field dressing and skinning but I prefer a bit smaller blade for skinning. The knife and it's leather sheath would have been right at home on my LBE in the late 1980's Army Ranger Battalion and probably without jokingly being considered a "crew served knife." It was after all said to be modeled after the "SOG bowie" that was manufactured for the MACV-SOG Viet Nam era warriors. If I was still a young enough to be participating in such activities or was going to use this as an every day hard use utility knife I would I would likely opt for the Tech Bowie model which appears to be essentially the same knife but with modern Kraton handle, molded nylon sheath and stone washed finish that would hide scratches. My recommendation for this beautifully finished knife would be for presentation/gift/collector use but I have little doubt that could fill any combat or utility need if called to serve.

This is one beautiful piece of "working art". Someone who had never owned,or collected knives,would still,without a doubt be in awe of something this handsome,and high quality.This rig is Ridiculous,I have collected knives since childhood,yet still I have never seen such a menacing tip on any other knife but this,the SOG Bowie 2.0. WOW. I'm a bit of a pessimist,and I have looked,and scoured to find some little flaw,or imperfection,but am not able to find any. The only one I can come up with,is the fact that this Beast is so pretty that you wouldn't want a scratch on it. I got a good buzz many years ago,when I first bought my Cold Steel San Mai Tanto. Same buzz here,maybe better,and the price,i WILL NOT say,as I'm afraid that someone is going to phone,or knock on my door,telling me that "Now,the rest is due". Unbelievably Good price,thank-you-Amazon.ca.

There are lots of reviews available for this knife. It is gorgeous out of the box, and a good deal considering the quality and workmanship. My only complaint is that it's too pretty to use, and the buttons on the sheath straps are plastic.

A bit shocked how good this knife is out of the box and at the price point. Came out of the box shaving sharp, very well executed stacked leather handle, pommel and guard. The blades grind lines are even and very nice while the tin coating replicates a presentation grade bluing. Sheath field grade, has metal snaps and is appropriate for this price point. Carries on the lineage of the Viet Nam MAC-V SOG knife pattern at an affordable price. I have and older pre 2006 Hattori SEKI Japan version of this knife and while the quality of that knife is outstanding, the current Taiwan produced version is well done and would make a great user since originals are becoming collectable.
