Change SOG Pocket Clip

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

In our ever continuing quest to provide more and more information on the SOG website we have added two new videos on how to change/replace the pocket clip on a couple of our knives. These videos are specifically for the Twitch XL and Spec Elite/Pentagon Elite but apply to more models.

The Twitch XL also applies to the Flash I & II, Trident, Aegis, X-Ray Vision, Mini X-Ray Vision, Visionary I & II, and Vulcans. The tools needed to remove the clip screw is different on some of these modles so please refer to the handy chart we have created here.

The Pentagon Elite and Spec Elite are a little different than most of our other knives in that they have three fasteners that need to be removed in order to replace or change the clip. Also, you will need two different drivers a Torx 10 and small Phillips.

We hope this helps out and if you have more questions let us know.

Knife Wire Work

Monday, April 27th, 2009

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.

Chantrelle Mushrooms

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

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

Throwing Knives Video

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

Found a great video with the SOG Fusion Throwing Knives in it.  From what I could get in the video is appears that he just received the knives as a gift.  At the end of the video he gets two knives to stick literally touching each other.

Good job and nice video.
