no, but its a gorgeous knife. dunno about $430 for that though, lots of others for less...
i have a SOG pentagon (weak tip, ugh), seal pup elite, and gov-tac. love em all, except the pentagon kinda sucks.

You can buy a "real" Randall Made knife for the same price, except you need to wait until 2012 to get it.
I don't think SOG knives will go up in value (I have one of their early SEAL bowies from the 1980's), but if you just have to have something...

I have one. Also a couple Randalls. For its size the SOG Bowie is quite a bit heavier than my #1 and a little bit heavier than my #14. The SOG is a very well built solid knife, IMO, and should serve you well. Mine ran, IIRC $150/$175 in the early '90s. (It think I got it from Cutlery Shoppe.)

You can get the Commemorative SOG Bowie for ~$250 (A price far below what you can hope to touch a Randall for.).
Being limited in production, serialized and of excellent quality, it should appreciate in value (as long as you don't use it and keep the box and all the papers intact). It won't hop up in value like a Randall, but they don't appreciate in value like a custom knife either.
