Snarl Fixed Blade Knife

I don't own a lot of knives or know intricacies of specialty knives, but I do have common sense when it comes to quality and garbage. This is quality, hands down. This is a very small little knife that would be good for a backup, or something to have for that "worst case scenario". Basically, if it comes down to do or die, this little gem will hold up. It's an inexpensive knife, but built very well. 2 fingers go into the holes, the rest of your fingers gripping on the underside of the blade and on the notched side of the blade iteslf. It might seem awkward, but you will be able to figure out a comfortable and useable way to hold and handle it very quickly. The blade is strong and thick, sharp right out of the box too. A light sharpening and you are MORE than set. The thing I really like is that the sheath it comes with can be placed horizontally on a belt, meaning that this can be carried in a very concealed manner without bulging, sagging down on your rump or dangling around your kneck (unless you prefer that--it does come with a lanyard). The sheath is solid, holds the knife well, and you can deploy this knife easily. I'd say this is a very user-friendly knife that could be handy in a tricky situation. I had been looking for a small tough knife that can be hidden easily and used for unforeseen personal protection while travelling abroad. This knife meets all those requirements. So, I can only recommend it!!

I have probably 2 dozen fixed blades.This little knife is one of the most inexpensive ones but easily in my top 3 favorites .It is a solid little self defense knife that is just all around bad ass. Pretty good ergonomics, decently sharp out of box but super easy to sharpen and it gets sharp,sheath has great retention and it is super easy to conceal.Only problem may be if you have larger hands.I wear a glove size 8 so I have mediums hands and it's perfect size.Definitely worry the money!

The knife is great and a perfect fit to my hand the kydex sheath is agh.

Great knife but the clip isn’t the best

Love this knife. Great blade and very sharp. Can keep concealed at all times with comfort. No rust and knife locks into sheath every time and never fall out. This is my third one. I buy as gifts for friends.

I originally bought the SOG Snarl as an alternate "last ditch knife" to my Ka-Bar TDI which I love. When I received the Snarl however I was initially disappointed with a few things. First, the sheath was and still is a fairly tight fit for the knife and requires more force than usual to draw the blade compared to other molded nylon sheaths I have experience with. Second, the belt clip was very loose, and because this knife is designed for a horizontal draw while on the belt, I found that the only way I could get the blade out of the sheath was when the clip caught onto one of my belt loops and required me to really yank the blade free from the sheath. My third gripe was that the blade was not very sharp out of the box. I wasn't expecting much in terms of blade sharpness, but was hoping for something decent given the brand and the high reviews, but a simple paper cut test with this knife was underwhelming.Thankfully, a lot of the problems I had with the stiff sheath and crappy belt clip was mitigated by the fact that the SOG Snarl can also be modified to be a neck knife. While wearing the SOG Snarl around my neck, I found that I still had to give the knife a good yank in order to draw it but with the way this knife is designed you always have a good fighting grip which I like. I am still a bit worried about how well the metal chain would hold up since I have to draw with considerable force in a downward motion.In the end, I struggled a bit with how to rate the SOG Snarl. I figured as a last ditch get off me sort of knife I would give it a one star, while as a small unobtrusive neck knife I would rate it as four stars, so three is what I came to.UPDATE: I feel like my initial reaction to the SOG Snarl was a bit premature due to my inexperience with small fixed blades at the time. I updated my star rating accordingly and actually took the chain off and the clip back on for a left handed horizontal draw that works flawlessly.

A solid, well-made fixed blade knife. Fits perfectly and securely in my hand for tasks and just in case moments. Useful at home and easy to bring along on the go. Highly recommend!

Great knife
