SOG Creed: "Zombie Slayer" by Nutnfancy

[@SlideRulePirate]

I envy you guys who get to own, use AND enjoy things of practical beauty like these. I'm a Brit, we live in a country where we're not trusted with fixed blades of any length, not with lockers of any length, nor with folding non-lockers with an edge of more than 3". I content myself with a spyderco grasshopper or kiwi in my watch pocket for edc. Even that is probably asking for trouble as you can get a criminal record simply from having a SAK in the glovebox of your car. Crazy world. Great vid.

[@drakejdf]

just scored on the black creed with leather sheath mint condition at a swapmeet for 25.00 no lie.i don't think the dude knew what he was sellin' but i'm stoked.

[@coolstuffaddict]

Awesome review of a wicked looking blade. The video quality is superb - every single detail in perfect focus all the time.

[@outpatient83]

I for some reason LOVE the design of this blade. I Think SOG makes absolutely amazing fixed blades. I have many and want more.

[@biggin2155]

I bought a SOG trident after I watched your review, i LOVE it. I use it for everything from opening boxes to skinning deer. Great knife, i haven't had to sharpen it since I got it (3 months ago) and it has opened tons of boxes and packages and skinned 3 deer. Great knives.

[@jordantheokay3168]

Sometimes as a ground floor viewer it is fun to watch some vintage nutnfancy. High marks dude!

[@MNT_NNN_DEW_ME]

Thank you for doing a review on this blade i have been wanting one for a while and you did one which is just awesome! Great review!

[@GrenMoyo]

that SOG Bowie, is absolutely beautiful!

[@s44Strike]

That is one good looking blade, I bet if you own that you sit looking at it and holdig it all day. Great review, thnx Nutn

[@GabeMacDonnell]

SOG, how about an extra long SOG Bowie, at least 10" of blade length, preferably with SK-5 steel. A Bagwell-sized blade would match well with the beauty of the SOG Fighting Bowie.

[@Casper48022]

this knife is just, beautiful.. im getting one for sure.

[@tardbuster007]

this is for CK finally, some more gear reviews great review

[@tastykak3s]

I love my sog knives. i have a sog bowie 2.0 and i love it. the leather sheath that came with it was pulling apart right out of the box but the knife is solid.

[@nutnfancy]

@calebjohnfoster Thanks for watching, its a great knife! -- Veri

[@nutnfancy]

Sorry Tad, I am behind the 8 ball on this one... I'll clean it up right now. Thanks for the heads up! -- Veri

[@whiskeypapa8842]

What a good looking blade. You're right Nutn, it's too beautiful to thump on.

[@Operator0190]

I love SOG I carry creed as my primary blade and a seal team pup during deployment in Afghanistan

[@cheapmovies25]

the black on sog's is the best. it looks so good. i've wanted one for awhile, i'd like a creed in black. that would be 2nd cool.

[@Minrow56]

Great review of a great knife. Thanks Nutn and Veri. The Creed kinda reminds me of a Khukuri if you made it strait instead of that forward curve.

[@DarkRyRy]

I really like my SOG X-ray Vision Pocket Knife, day to day usage 8 years and going. comes out switchblade quick, sharpens very well with ease. The sog fixed blades i have bought came very sharp, but are hard to re-sharpen for the novice.

[@thedude7052]

Love the knife, especially because "Creed" happens to be my name :-)

[@lonewolftheblack]

that's a saber deign and it is manly used for slashing BUT is still very good for trusting. The blood groove is used to prevent a seal from the muscles when they clamp up from being priced

[@CuriosusAnimus]

I just ordered one. My first SOG. Here's hoping it's a winner.

[@TadRapidly]

that sucker is a beauty. its the last thing I need but I might get one anyway just so I can sit and stare at it.

[@aw11ccc]

wow thats a beautiful knife, plus aus 8 steel is an awesome blade steel. way to go sog

[@rogantu]

it's still there. Whenever he speaks it's as if the microphone can't handle the volume. It has to be this video since no other video has this sound.

[@cbthrasher]

I need one of these Please hint this to my wife for Christmas!

[@shampoovta]

Hmmm Blood Groove. Takes me back to D&D days, :). What a coincidence, I was just talking about blood grooves.

[@_Art.Vandelay]

it's almost as beautiful as the natchez bowie great review!

[@minicm122]

agreed, they should stick what they are good at. Bowie are freaking awesome knives, look great and can be used for self defense. But for wilderness, the best thing I can see used, is well...a machete. It heavy, but it can chop, slice, crack, and help you through anything you might need, but its heavy, and probably will be the only one you will use in the wilderness anyway, just pack a small bowie as you go :D.

[@nutnfancy]

@wesajarjar Nutn says he got his from YourCornerStore. Link is on his channel page. -- Veri

[@Creepo11]

I too would so like to see Nutn's review of the RC-5.

[@skillmaster2255]

Great review, Nutn. Some idiot was talking about how the SOG Jungle Canopy---with inferior steel no less---was better than the Creed. I have the Creed and have put it to good use, and this knife is a very underrated knife, certainly unheralded in the blade community. The expensive price tag is an understandable turnoff for some people, and it really set me back; but, functionally, the SOG Creed is everything it looks to be and then some. The added bonus of quality stainless steel for corrosion resistance in my humid and wet climate only makes the Creed a more sensible choice for camp duties and survival applications rather than the popular carbon steel blades which are certainly great in their own right. I do wish this knife had a better sheath though, and for the money, you would think that SOG could have done better in that area.

[@94Thatguy]

I always thought that S.O.G stood for Special operations gear. Great video. :)

[@SavageShooter93]

Hey Nutn I have a tip for you if you need to take that barrel nut off the SOG tale 2 allen keys that fil in the holes stand one vertically with the L in the air and take another one put the L side in the hole and turn it so the long shank on the one key is up against the other and turn it will undo the barrel nut. I hope that helps my directions might not be the best but play around with it if im not making sense youll figure it out. Great vids BTW. SOG HQ in my backyard btw 30 min drive

[@SavageShooter93]

Oh and with the seal team elite, I have medium hands med gloves fit well like a glove. I can get 8 fingers on the handle. so there is plenty of handle real estate and it is also great for leverage when chopping, and it has the tang sticking out of the handle, id like the pommel to be more aggressive but the flat rectangular pommel will do

[@paulie4x1]

Mr. NnF, I buy my knives by steel type, geometry, style. When Cold Steel took a 0170-6C steel, and Sub-Zero quenched it, It turned into their proprietary CarbonV, In most cases 1% of carbon makes a good edge retention, there are exception's e.i. 5160, 3V etc. I never liked AUSTIN 8 because of that, but S.O.G has their Cryogenic Tempering, and it man's the AUS 8, a much better steel, sort of what C.S. does for their steel. I did buy the S.O.G. Creed, because I have a few knives in that size.

[@nutnfancy]

Ha! I'm barely housebroken...so, not hardly! Didn't Groucho Marx say something about not wanting to join any club that would have him for a member? ;) -- Veri (Nutn's sister)

[@sniper6636]

ive got the SOG twitch II and i absolutley love it

[@nutnfancy]

I swear Ephram, me and you are getting almost mild mannered in our old age. ;) Must be the jammies. -- Veri

[@paulie4x1]

I have the Trident 2.0, I also have the Seal Pup Elite, I'm generally a steel snob, that doesn't know how to write heh heh heh, anyhow what S.O.G. does with their CRYO Tempering on the AUS8 is pretty good, both my knives hold a decent edge, I don't know if I have a mental block on Cold Steel with their Zero Quenching Proccess on their AUS8, I think S.O.G.'s Cryo is better atleast I think so because I have both of their knives, I'll give you an example take my Recon Tanto in AUS8 and my Trident 2.0, I can notice a little difference in edge retention, good video, You bring it right to the table and no B.S., Thanx

[@NE_Ohio_Hiker]

good looking blade Nutn.

[@wesajarjar]

@nutnfancy thank i was wondering where he got alot of his knives.

[@torpilo]

Finally !! a fix blade video.. :)

[@nutnfancy]

LOL..the looong pause? yeah, it WAS creepy! -- Veri (Nutn's sister)

[@nutnfancy]

Yeah, but we can still give them hell occassionally, and they'll know it! Good to see you. -- Veri

[@Critterb0t]

So I'm in the market for a good blade, and I've been considering a lot of Cold Steel knives, but I think I've found what I'll probably settle with eventually. Seems pretty high end and good quality, but then SOG pretty much *is* quality in and of itself. It looks like if you drop it on the ground the ground will break. Absolutely beautiful knife. When and if I get it I hope I don't end up never using it just because it's so pretty! xD

[@senyum0]

have you tried kukkiri knife. would love your review on it. i always loved the shape functionality and cutting surface of the knif e. vest survival knives.

[@MarkJohansen123]

I've engraved my knife with "Dont fuck with me" because you CAN engrave the creed for about 11 dollars. It has kept me happy.

[@SchneiderStudios]

Looking good, high quality handle

[@ThatGuyKazz]

I am not really a blade guy but man nutn you are changing my out look with some of these knife reviews. If only that had a plastic or kydex sheath I would be all over it. both kinds of cool great looks and highly recomend for Nutn how much better can it get?

[@SavageShooter93]

if your running out of handle with a gov tac or whatever they all have the same handle go with the SOG seal team elite it has scallops (gimping) on the length of the blade. It won the SEAL knife trials with chopping cutting digging salt resistance ect as tests. It is a fantastic all purpose blade, also check out my side by side hackability test to see how it stacks up with other blades I have. Unfortunately I dont have a monster blade like the Recon Scout so I cant compare. but its great

[@cmonsterz]

Superb review. Every minute of the 24:55 length was very informative. I think that the blade shape is very interesting...kind of Middle Eastern...like a scimitar...or perhaps a pirate's blade. I wish that SOG would graduate from Aus8 into something "better". I'm not knocking the Aus8...have plenty of knives with it that work fine. It just isn't what I would really want in a fixed blade knife.

[@TheFlyrodder68]

If that's in a convex grind, it's a winner. For big chopping and baton work, that hollow grind is a big pain in the ass. For softer stuff I think it will fine but not for hard wood. No doubt it's a beautiful knife but it's just going to be a collector's knife in my honest opinion. I still want it, haha. Nice review. Thumbs up.

[@maxbetteto12]

nutnfancy you should make a video on your knife collection

[@BikeFriendlyTexas]

I bought one of these. I demand the best out of my tools. When I hike my life depends upon my equipment working, and working well. I have found myself stranded with this knife, and it will take a beating, then skin up dinner after being made into a spear to procure said meal. Expensive, sure worth the money - yup good tools don't cost they pay!

[@TLM-Nathan]

"Zombie Apocalypse" as I've understood is has always been used a loose term describing an end of world, SHTF/WROL scenerio be it from economic or societal collapse, invasion (foreign armies, NATO, take your pick),etc.. At some point, the term started making it around more and more and it has started to become main-stream. Use the term in a way that you are comfortable or not at all. Basically, the zombie thing isn't to turn us against each other, unless of course you're a zombie.

[@undeadpresident]

Yeah I agree. They may have a shiny finish but then they probably get dull or break on you or rust.

[@nutnfancy]

He's right. Is that what bothers you? -- Veri

[@sdushdiu]

Want a presentation blade - the SOG is fine. For functional ROI stick with the Becker Companion &/or Tactool.

[@XxrsalzlxX]

I love the kabar knives. Sog is my second favorite.

[@JustinBaker2567]

Also the creed is shaped alot like a mini machete, which is pretty cool.

[@codebman]

the creed looks like a mini-sword! lol I so want one

[@SluggySlugworth]

Another excellent video.

[@DjRjSolarStar]

Yes there is a large price difference, but that means that I would like SOG to also sell many knives in the price range of $300 +

[@paulie4x1]

By the way, I have 2 Recon Scout's in CarbonV, one I use, and one I only look at, he he he, most of my bushcrafting/survival knives are 4"-5", and a few up to 6" I also have the S.O.G. Trident 2.0, and the Seal Pup Elite, which I do use for bushcrafting, and it look's great for me, I enjoy your video's, but you are a Cold Steel guy !

[@400ss]

@NukeGameStudios The original meaning was "Studies and Observations Group". It was some sort of US agency that conducted clandestine operations in Vietnam (1960's).( I Don't know if the company's acronym means the same though).

[@danzigrulze5211]

Have you already done a video on khukuri from Nepal? They are relatively cheap for the market value of the blade and the ones you can get know are being used in Afghanistan. Yes they are more then capable of chopping a head clean off. Just a thought. Plus the places that make khukuri are the same issued to Ghurka.

[@JaguarSevenNova]

sog creed is freaking gorgeous

[@endeverafter2]

it cost 200$ and it is sold in a back tini finish and a satin finish (which is just silver but it makes it sound epic)

[@Creepo11]

Sorry, just had to point this out Nutn but RAT Cutlery doesn't make an RC-7. Their biggest model is the RC-6 which is pretty similar to the Ontario RAT-7

[@enoughwiththebsalready5518]

wait, if the sog creed is a collectible for its owner, then whats with the lanyard and grip tape?

[@facatube]

please made a review of this model for bushcraft use. Team Leader II from SOG Knives with saw in spine

[@MF_UNDERTOW]

Unfortunately, YCS doesn't have any SOG's in stock. I can't believe YCS's prices though the lowest I have found yet for all brands.

[@xXiN5aNeXx]

damn that knife is HUGE!!!

[@porkmaybeu]

you should do a review on the SOG jungle primitive, i bought one a couple days ago for $50 im very happy with it.

[@nutnfancy]

@Ajss321 He replies, but just not very often. Mostly he replies to newer videos, too..as his schedule permits. Sometimes I can text or talk to him and get answers in the older videos. -- Veri

[@billpeart]

I have the Outback. I also have the Linder Crocodile Hunter. The Linder is BY FAR the superior blade. If the Outback was made out of a high carbon steel i.e. c60, L6, 5160, 1095, It would be a force to be recon with. The quality of the Outback is rather low for a knife in this price range as well. If your looking for a large bowie with traditional styling that is functional your best bet is Linder, Von Tempsky bowie, Kabar, Ontario sp10, W49

[@RentableSocks]

you use a mac... win. great vids. you've influenced my knife buying trend by alot.

[@wowopell]

i love the blade shape

[@michelexe65]

very cool looking blade but SOG knives often loose the guard, what you can say about that?

[@txasskicker]

Creed vs. RTAK II? What do you think? Great vid. Keep up the work.

[@x240voltsx]

i love this design

[@endeverafter2]

when i hsaw the name creed on the website i could only think of assassins creed but the company is very well known for there products to really go over ur expectations if its for a michete or a weapon they allways meat ur expectations and then a lot more

[@ExecuteOrder.66]

I want to buy them both just to open my packages... They look so cool, those boxes will die a painfully dead.

[@NEWCLEARDAYS]

AUS8 steel again SOG?...hmmm well ok if we have to I guess. Thanks NUTN another great review.

[@Ayrton4everrr]

What a downunder knive? That would ba a great comparison. Would like tosee a vidon that. thanks . great vid!

[@chemicallust77]

i would consider the SOG Primitive as a cheap alternative if i wanted to be brand loyal an still have something i wouldnt mind taking in the woods and thrashing on a bit

[@Fredddoh]

@nutnfancy, you mentioned that there are probably better alternatives to the sog creed for robust use... care to name a few?

[@DjRjSolarStar]

I was only generalizing their knives, not mentioning this one specifically. For $130 AUS8 is totally acceptable, specially for a knife this large (not a 2" folder) and made to SOG's standards. I'm only saying that for highly demanding users like myself I would like to see some better steels being used by them; because they almost solely use AUS8 I am not considering any of their larger knives for purchase, but instead prefer options from companies like Mercworx and Microtech.

[@FunkyPertwee]

Best intro music EVER.

[@cbthrasher]

That super SOG bowie is very nice. Do they stay sharp like the buck knives?

[@PickleishBILL]

Is it made in the usa

[@bonkmanturneroverdrive5167]

$284? Wow, are you just quoting the highest price you find? They have been about $140 on Amazon for a few mths now.

[@BrutusHiatus]

Have you done a review of the Cold Steel Natchez Bowie San Mai III? It was listed as one of the related videos on the side here. Watched it, looked cool, but I took it with a grain of salt. Let me know, please. :-)

[@mdluebeck]

Reiview Down under knive's Outback. Please, I am considering buying but I dont know just how good it is.

[@nutnfancy]

@bbmcloug I thought you might end up removing this comment.. ;) -- Veri

[@uuuuuuu30]

You should do a review on a microtech knife. A scarab(?) II, maybe?

[@BrightAshes]

Won't those white stripes attract attention in the dark? when you're on a stealth mission?

[@TheAeroth]

you should make a top 5 survival knifes
