Knife Holster

When SOG came out with the original Tomcat folding knife in 1988, it won the award for Blade Magazine's knife of the year. The SOG Tomcat 3 is an updated version of a classic that delivers custom-knife performance at a reasonable price. Here are my thoughts on the knife:

What I like about the knife:

1. SOG's Arc-Lock is incredibly strong and gives you no up and down or side to side movement. This lock also allows for ambidextrous, one handed opening with no problem.

2. Each Tomcat 3 folding knife is made with razor sharp VG-10 stainless steel. Known for its edge retention and rust resistance alike, you'll be glad to have such a high performance steel by your side when you really need it.

3. At 3.75 inches long, the clip point style blade is the perfect length for everyday carry. You should have no legal troubles when carrying this knife almost anywhere. Jimping or thumb grooves on the back of the blade make precise cuts a piece of cake.

4. The handle is very well designed and feels comfortable in your hand. Kraton gives you a nice anti-slip grip that will hold up in the toughest of situations.

5. With an overall weight of 6.5 ounces, the Tomcat 3 is hefty enough for law enforcement and emergency personnel, while still light enough for the average Joe to carry everyday.

What I didn't like:

The Tomcat folders do not come with pocket clips. Instead they come with a nylon sheath. I like the idea of including the nylon sheath, but I would like the option of using a pocket clip.

Overall:

It's obvious that the SOG Tomcat 3 folding knives are built to last a lifetime. With a suggested retail value of $230, it's safe to say that these knives are worth every penny. The super-tough construction, comfortable ergonomics and razor sharp blade all make for a terrific knife.
