A quick story for you- I got into a hit & run with a  taxi & BMW last week, and the driveshaft popped out of the truck I was in.  I needed to get the U-joint straps off, but didn’t have one tool with me  (except for the multitool). Those strap bolts are notorius for being hard  little bastards to get out. With the compound leverage the SOG had, I was able  to get every one of them undone. This is all while sitting sideways on La  Cienaga while blocking two lanes of traffic while no cops came and no useful  help arrived. I got the driveshaft out and was able to make it to my office in  front wheel drive. They totally saved my butt, and I love  ‘em!

I am a little late in posting this so please forgive me. The TV show LOST has been using one of our knives in the show for the past two seasons. The character John Locke carries the Tigershark and it has made several cameos. Check out the images below.

We received this great comment over the weekend and I wanted to share it with everyone.

I currently carry the Penteagon Elite I every night as I am out flying over the Al Anbar Provence and I love it’s easy use and reliability. I have used it to cut everything from cargo straps to wires and it is still running strong. I now want to upgrade to a strong fixed blade and a back up boot knife. Instantly I thought of SOG and didn’t even check out all of the other brands that are out there.

I emailed him to verify that it was okay to post and here is his first comment and his response is below.

Mr. Cashbaugh,

Certainly, it will be a privilege to have my comment about your excellent knives posted on your web page. After only being in country for two months, my Pentagon Elite I is the only “tool” that I purchased before coming over here that is still running strong. I have broken most of the tips off of my Gerber Multi-tool, my Inova flashlight has a crushed bulb, my Blackhawk kneepads and gloves are shredded, my Blackhawk SERPA holster keeps dropping my extra magazines, my Wiley-X ballistic glasses are gouged, my Camelbak leaks (although the MULE backpack is still taking a beating), and all of this just during the
first two months in a seven month deployment! As a tail gunner on the CH-53D, my nightly routine requires me to keep moving and my gear has to keep up, it is nice to know that I at least have a good sharp knife on my side! The only thing that I wish SOG had was a good emergency blade like Benchmade’s 7 hook. I do keep one of those easily accessible on my
belt, even though I have not had the need to use it. All in all, I can not wait for my Daggert 1 and Mini Pentagon to arrive in the mail!

Thank you and Semper Fi,

Our best wishes go out to you SSgt Crissman and everyone else that is fighting for our protection. We wish you a safe return and God Speed.

At the 2007 Blade Show SOG Knives presented a new concept in knife making the reverse collaboration. With this new concept we worked closely with custom knife maker Kikuo Matsuda of Kiku Knives. Spencer and Kikuo worked on the final design and Kikuo is going to produce the knife in limited quantities for SOG.

As a part of the Blade show there is a competition for several knife of the year awards.  These awards are voted on by fellow knife manufacturers a select jury.  This year SOG and Kikuo won the award for knife Collaboration of the Year.

I will be posting more details and images of the knife soon co check beck for more information.
