Summary: Excellent knife for it's price!
Comment: What can I say? This is a great knife for the cost! The pup elite is a beefed up version of the pup, and well worth the slight increase in price. Fixed blade, full tang, AUS 8 steel (decent toughness and edge-holding), decent handle, decently sized blade. The knife handles great, and I am satisfied with it.

Although I haven't used it extensively yet (as in "drop me off in the middle of the jungle" use), I'd say it'd would work well enough in a survival situation. I purchased the straight edge for my belt knife, since there aren't enough serrations to make them really useful. So far it's handled everything I've thrown at it.

The nylon sheath provided is great if you want to carry a leatherman or SAK as well. I've fit a SAK Rucksack or a Leatherman Wave in there. The kydex sheath (sold separately) is a better sheath if you're looking for easy deployment, smaller size, and more rigging options. The knife is slightly easier to unsheathe one-handed and quickly from the kydex sheath, but it really doesn't take much more effort using the nylon one. My pup used to rattle slightly in the kydex sheathe, but I've made adjustments to the sheath and it rattles no more (see sog site for sheath adjustment).

Overall, decent knife. Sure it's not a Fallkniven, Busse, RAT, or BRKT...but for the price, it's not too shabby. But then again, if you're interested in a cheap survival knife, you could always go get a Mora....
