SOG SEAL Pup vs. Camillus Pilot Survival Knife / Ontario 499 ASEK review & demonstration

I too have both of these knives. They are both great knives. I agree with the outcome as well. Good side by side comparisons.


Which knife is better, the SOG SEAL Pup or the Camillus Pilot Survival Knife? They’re similar in size but differ greatly in weight and blade material. The Camillus is much heavier due to the awesome butt cap on the handle, and the SOG’s serrations are far superior to the saw teeth on the ASEK. The Camillus blade is 4-7/8″ long and is made of 1095 tool steel, which is easy to sharpen. The saw teeth on the spine work well on wire and nails, but fall short on cutting metal and plastic sheeting.The size of the blade and the protective metal casing on the sheath make this a safe choice for all skill levels. The Camillus Pilot Survival Knife is on the “must have” list of many survivalists for three simple reasons: It’s a comfortable, safe, and reliable survival tool. The SOG SEAL Pop is light, balanced, and tough. The blade is made of AUS 6 S/S, which makes it hard to get a good edge in the field. That said, it maintains an edge better than a softer blade. I’d recommend the SOG SEAL Pup knife to anyone looking for a decent camping/utility knife. A straight edge would be better for bushcraft, but for urban survival applications, the serrations will gnaw right through metals, plastics, nylons, and other synthetics with ease. The protective sheath and managable size make this a safe knife for all skill levels. Which knife proves best? Watch the video and find out. Be sure to leave comments and a rating. I just sold my Camillus 499 to survival instructor Paul Tarsitano of www

Sharpen Your Peeler with a Paring Knife

Most people don’t realize that their peelers get dull over time. Most people also dont know that you can sharpen them with a simple paring knife. With a simple metal to metal action shown in the video you can sharpen you peelers so they are much more user friendly. Once I saw the video, I tried it and noticed an obvious difference.

This also works for your cheese graters or any other metal blade in your kitchen. Give it a try, you will notice a difference.

Pick up a paring knife from a discount store for about a dollar so you dont mess up a good one.

Urban Survival SOG SEAL Pup Knife Review & Demonstration


This is a review and demonstration on the SOG SEAL Pup knife. I’ve modified the sheath to make it into an urban survival knife by adding a fire steel rod, a sharpener, paracord, reflective and duct tape, and a fishing line and hook. This knife is light, balanced, and tough. The blade is made of AUS 6 S/S, which makes it hard to get a good edge in the field. That said, it maintains an edge better than my carbon blade knives. I’d recommend this knife to anyone looking for a decent camping …
