Here is a great video of a SOG user sharpening his Trident Tanto.  This technique will work with most knives and should give you great results with a little practice.

Just uploaded a video of the Mini X-Ray Vision knife.

Let me know what you think.

Check out the video of the Twitch XL that I just finished.  It is a work in progress and let me know what you think.

I just posted a video to youtube of one of the prototype Aegis knives.  This is my first video and the lighting is not that great but you get the point.  Also, I did speed it up a little but I think you get the point.

Just found this review on Sierra Trading Post about the Trident with TigerStripe blade.

“Pros: AUS8 is bloody great mate, No slip grip is hip, Sharp lookin’ – meow

Best Uses: Cuttin’ stuff

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments: I don’t leave home without it. I just nicknamed it Pokey, I hope the name sticks.”

 

Thanks for the review and if any one else has any comments let us know.

We have been working on this for a couple months and I am happy to finally announce that almost all of our Arc-Lock knives are now being produced with VG-10 blades. This now includes the X-Ray Vision, Vision, Mini X-Ray Vision, Pentagon Elite I and II, Spec Elite I. Also, this was done with out increasing the cost of these knives. If you have been holding off on buying one of these knives, you no longer have an excuse. We were also able to do this with out raising prices.

The blades are stamped with VG-10 and should be showing up in stores any day now.

Congratulations to denny and his images.  He won the October prize for best image in the SOG group on flickr with his picture of the Springfield Armory XD40 handgun with SOG X-Ray Vision folder and Seiko chronograph watch.   Keep the images coming and have fun.

One of the things I like about living in Washington is the great diversity of environments here. We have rain forest, wetlands, high desert, mountains with glaciers, and much more. I also like to get out from time to time and explore the wilderness in the area. Recently I friend of mine got the bug to figure out how to forage for chantrelle mushrooms. I know it sounds weird to go searching in the woods for mushrooms but it was quite fun.

This is a picture of the basket of mushrooms at the beginning of the day. We ended up getting a little over a pound of mushrooms and made a great dinner that night. We got a little skunked this time mostly because someone had been through the area the day before. We found tracks and some cut mushroom that had been dropped. On previous trips in the same area my friend had found upwards of 7 pounds of them.

I would highly recommend that if you get the chance to go out and forage for some chantrelle mushroom. For more information check out the following resources

I know it has been a little while since I last posted a teaser image for you.  So in order to get everyone excited about upcoming items I now present you with the latest SOG teaser image.  Let me know what you think.

I just found out that one of SOG’s knives, supposedly the Twitch XL was on House the Fox TV show last night (Oct 9). I am trying to track down info on it. So if any one has a screen capture please let me know.

Update: I actually found some screen captures and it was the Twitch XL that was used in the episode. Check out some images below..
