SG2 Security Survival Knife NEW RELEASE from Miguel Nieto Spain. REVIEW

Ok the design of this knife is great. The full flat grind drop point, a classic design and field proven time and time again.

First impressions:

Very comfy but grippy handle, both upper surface and lower of handle is milled flat, making it an excellent grip. My model with camo Katex grip.

Just look at this great grip!

The special milled grooves all over the micarta scales provide a sure grip even with wet hands. In fact the grip is really excellent.

Proven cutlery alloy, DIN 1.4116, with significant Vanadium. The Vanadio model has a HRC of 54-55. This makes it robust against chipping and easily field maintained. You've seen me opening tins with my other DIN 1.4116 alloy knives. Don't get too hung up about HRC, 54-55 is fine for cutting all things you will encounter in the wilds and you will be able to sharpen it without having any trouble.
The Nieto SG2 is also available in N690!

Rounded spine so you don't destroy your baton nor ruin the palm of your hands when needing extra pressure to be applied.

As I said a very nice full flat grind.

The milled Katex cammo grip 

Generous thumb/finger gimping and a rounded butt/pommel so no funky skull crushers to damage your pack/body or palm of your hand. You can strike a fire steel here to in this region.

Specs at a glance:
Full tang.
HRC 54-55 more resistant to chipping of edges common with high HRC blades
Easily field sharpened.
Full flat grind.
DIN 1.4116 cutlery alloy.
Look at the quality of the leather sheath!

The SG2 comes with a fire steel too!

The high quality leather scabbard is totally multi-carry, either vertically or horizontal belt carry and quick release.

Just to show you the difference between the Nieto Chaman and the Nieto SG2. Very similar knives at first glance but specs totally different.
The Chaman's blade is 114mm from handle to tip, the SG 2's blade is: 108mm (not that much different). The SG2 has a completely different grind (it's full flat) and the Chaman is hollow ground and a wider blade at 32mm Vs 30mm for the SG2.
The grips are completely different, in fact I prefer the SG2 for wet work, as it's profile and milled scales offer better grip. I actually put some grooves into my Chaman to facilitate a better grip for my fingers in the wet. The Chaman has a slightly thicker spine at 5.4mm Vs 5.3 for the SG2. To be honest I see a improvement in the SG2 over the handle design of the Chaman but this is JMHO. The Chaman is marketed as a "Survival Knife". The carry systems are different.
