I recently acquired a SOG X-42 Field knife with 5" blade.
I always liked the feel and handling of the original SOG Field Pup knife made in Taiwan with the 4" blade. It has a good grip, thumb ramp for detailed work and a blade that was easy to sharpen and get sharp. However, I recently acquired a 2002 SOG X-42 Field Knife with a 5.35" blade of BG 42 steel with a Rc 60. This could be the ultimate all around knife. I have not used it yet but the sharpness is amazing and it features the same feel and handling as the Field Pup knife. Anyone have experience with the BG 42 steel?
