Throwing Knives Review

SOG Administrator — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:09:07 +0000

If you get a chance check out the November issue of Tactical Knives. They do a great review of the SOG Throwing knives and Spirit.

Here is what he said about the Fulcrum throwing knives:

Built For Balance
The two throwers sport a unique balancing feature on the blades, giving the user the option of changing the weight distribution of the knives. Constructed of brass discs connected by a screw through the knives, these weights can be adjusted anywhere along the handle of the knife. The knobs are easily tightened by hand, and there is a large flathead screwdriver notch should the user want to tighten or loosen it more. I talked about how I like to throw bigger blades, but what happens when the small blade starts acting like its big brother?

According to the author he likes the Spirit and here is what he said

Broom of Doom
I attached the piercing weapon onto the end of a broomstick, stepped back about 20 feet and took aim at my pumpkin foe. On the second try the tip went through the pumpkin cleanly and into the wood behind it. I have other spears, but the head on the SOG Spirit is smaller, so it can be thrown farther with less effort. This size spear, more of a javelin, is rare on the market and is a welcome addition.

I suggest that if you get the chance go to the news stand and get this issue of Tactical Knives.

SOG on Entourage

Just got word that one of our knives was featured on the HBO show Entourage this weekend. I have a screen capture of the scene with the SOG Tigershark Elite.

In the scene Vince and Turtle are at a local gun shop looking for a gun to protect themselves from a burglar that broke in their house the night before. They were disappointed to find out that there is 10 day waiting period. As they needed something to protect themselves now.

At that point the guy behind the counter asks “Do you like knives?” and pulls out the Tigershark Elite.

Update: We got a clip of the scene. Check it out below.

I was just forwarded these great photos from a SOG fan. Great use of the SEAL Pup Elite with straight edge blade.

Knife Wire Work

I know that this does not directly relate to SOG knvies but I found this quite interesting. Ben Potter wrote a great piece an adding wire detail work on a knife blade. After reading the article I really wish I had the space and know how to do things like this. I’d say it is worth a quick read.

I was cleaning out some drawers here and came across a knife that SOG received from the folks at LOST. It was signed by Terry O’Quinn who plays John Locke. Check out the photos of the knife. I was really excited to get this and I think we will have it framed and hang it on the wall in the lobby.
