Sorry you had problems with your SOG knife.
But I don't think your description of "poor quality" exactly fits the design aspect of a "narrow" tang.
With the steels and heat treat used nowdays, I don't think thinner necessarily means weaker all the time.
It sometimes means less weight and easier carry etc.
I have seen many narrow or thinner tangs on many knives hold up for many years and never give any problems.
Every knife company designs and produces knives with hundreds of variations of tangs, blades and handles.
I think you should give SOG some credit here, they have been making knives for many years and have a great track record so far in my opinion.......especially with straight knives.
Just my opinion.
Oh, if you break a SOG tang, I would bet they will replace it.
