SOG Daggert 2: Special Purpose Professional

Описание: The SOG Daggert series are strong and well-made daggers. Featuring a 6.6 AUS8 blade, the Daggert 2 (shown) provides good reach for life or death CQB. The handle follows Fairbairn-Sykes weighting which biases towards the grip (for better theoretical hand retention). The Daggert 1 is a smaller version wearing a 5.7 blade and is a little bit lighter (8 oz vs 9.6 oz, blades only). The blade has a somewhat narrow profile and as such has trouble achieving a razor sharp edge within its short width due to the steep angles. involved (may be improved with skillful sharpening). A short but unneeded section of serration rides on the top. With its gradual tip geometry, the Daggert should excel in its limited use role as a thrusting weapon. Other upsides include: pommel hammering capabilities, excellent shaped stainless double guard, grippy Kraton handle is roomy for different grips, and good looking grey spacers in handle. The Kydex sheath is excellent and has an improved Hypalon retention strap. It also uses the American Sportsman brand QD attachment which spaces the knife away from your carry platform. The Daggert 2 offers only medium-level value as its pricetag hovers around the $100 mark. As of 2009, it is offered in several cool colorations including matte black, beadblasted grey, or tigerstripe (subject to change of course). For me, a dagger is a limited purpose knife with a narrow POU but within that limited function, a knife like the Daggert 2 could offer a life saving advantage. The Daggerts are fun collectibles in their own right, regardless of whether they will see service or not. They are cool examples of the type. /////////////Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 7 of 10
