SOG Knives Sogzilla

I received the SOG Sogzilla for Christmas and so far I love it. I think what I like about it the most is the low carry clip. On most knives when they are clipped in you pocket some of the handle is sticking out above the pocket. On the SOG the entire hande is in the pocket and only the clip is exposed. I like this because I feel that it shields the knife from the elements more and is also a little more discreet.

Large folding pocket knife
3.82-Inch straight edge 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade
Textured glass-reinforced Zytel handle with stainless steel liners
Low carry reversible bayonet pocket clip
Overall length: 8.54-Inches; Weight: 4.8 oz

I got a chance to put this knife to use this past weekend on a Jeep trip up to the mountains to check out the snow. I used to split a few sticks that were around 3/4" thick. I know that folding knifes aren't meant to be batoned, but I wanted to see how it would hold up. It did fine I did notice when making some shavings for tinder that it felt a little dull. It's is right of the box so that was surprising/disappointing. All that being said I still like it, tonight I will hit it with the Lansky and sharpen it up.
