SOG Snarl, Silver, Fixed Blade

Purchased as a replacement utility knife. Much less weight and bulk than my “old faithful” Benchmade. I like the change. It’s an excellent, well made, utility knife. Not much in the way of a self-defense weapon.

I was recently hit with an auto-immune disease that left my nerves damaged. I’m now recovering although it will take a while before I’m at full strength. That being said, I wanted a knife that was built with an index finger hole that way there was no possible way my grip could slip and cause me to push my hand towards the blade while cutting something. After looking through a bunch of different knife manufacturers SOG had the snarl and it was exactly what I had in mind. I love the additional 2nd finger hole for additional grip support and no chance of me cutting myself. This is a great everyday tool for me and a perfect self-defense weapon if need be. It’s very compact and the sheath works great.

I just bought this to add to the Sog knives i already have. As expected nice looking, good size, good weight and sharp. I do have on tiny issue, the holes needed to be larger for fingers. at mid knuckle it gets tight and taking it off is an issue. just slightly bigger holes would be perfect.

I only just bought my Snarl knife, but quickly found myself wondering why the sheath wasn’t configured to allow installation of the belt clip, in the two holes, on the opposite side of the sheath. I believe the tilted install would give additional flexibility, when trying to determine the best carry option. Placing the two holes a bit closer together, and adding a small slit for the upper retention clip would not have added to cost, if initially designed that way.

Absolutely love this shorty. I use it for everything. I've gifted this knife to a few people. Will definitely purchase again.

Very well made it's just a little too small for me.

Could be so much better. But is sturdy & functional .C+.

I like the blade. It looks good, has a decent edge and feels good in hand. The blade fits very snuggly in the sheath. I have to pull forcefully on the blade to try to remove it from the sheath. When I do so, the blade comes off the belt still in the sheath.

Though I read that some thought the snarl's blade was too thick and not sharp, I liked the thickness and thought that the blade was very sharp. I was concerned before I got the knife that without a small guard extending out in front of your middle finger like the Brous Silent Stalker that there might be a chance that your middle finger might come in contact with the blade, but after feeling how the blade is locked into your fingers I no longer concerned about that. When my son got this for Christmas he thought is was very cool, my son is 33 and can handle a knife. A nice EDC to carry in your day pack or bug-out bag. Thanks. - Michael Dixon
