Question 1

is this knife full tang?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is full tang.  There seems to be a debate though over the type of steel used.  According to my research this particular knife uses AUS-6 rather than AUS-8.  The SOG Seal Put that does not use the designation 37N and non-serrated edge uses the AUS-8 steel.  No matter, this knife has found a purpose in use.  Great mid sized fixed blade for general overall use.  I intend to get the straight edged Seal Pup as well.  Good luck!

Question 2

How does this knife compare to a KaBar?

Accepted Answer

I have used a K-Bar and I also still have my original Camillus (Ontario) issued knife from the US Navy.  The SOG is an excellent knife for general purpose.  It really comes down to two things:  1/  What will you be doing with it.  2/  Do you personally like it.  I would advise that you get the unserrated version.  No matter though as the knife will serve you well.  Very sharp right out of the box as well!  I use my SOG as a backup knife.  The K-bar is slightly larger and is more designed to be used for personal defense as well as survival.  I would not use the SOG for battoning.  Either choice would not be a mistake.   Hope this helps!

Question 3

Is this the newer Seal Pup (non-elite)?

Accepted Answer

This is not the "elite" model, just the regular Seal Pup.

Question 4

Will the sheath horizontal mount on a belt, or is it just a loop to hang the sheath?

Accepted Answer

My sheath is a Molle design.  You can attach it to other gear that is Molle designed depending on the direction of the lacing.  I am not sure about the kydex sheath and how it works as I was sent a nylon version.  The nylon sheath is very good for what it is.  From reviews I have read there are some who were sent nylon sheaths that  not made very well and were not Molle designed which would not allow you to mount horizontally.  Hope this helps.
