Sometimes the production knife companies come up with some very unique and "special" knives. Such is the case with SOG's Fatcat design. A HUGE folder, it is amazing how light and quick this feels in the hand. The blade deployment is freakishly fast and extremely smooth. The balance of the knife is positively superb. Given that SOG's Tomcat 3.0 may well be my favorite folding knife of all time, this bigger brother isn't far behind it. Something interesting...that you can't really see in the photo; PART OF THE BLADE IS BLACK TINI finish...while the other part is regular satin steel. Very cool!!!!
