A member of bladeforums.com recently posted images and a description of a knife he believed to be a prototype of the original SOG Trident fixed blade. It turns out it is one of the two prototypes we had made and is a great historical find. Here are some pictures of it for you to drool over.
Here is another picture of the SOG Tigershark on LOST.
King County Deputy and Arrestling Founder, Don Gulla presents SOG’s Spencer Frazer an award in appreciation for his many years of supporting law enforcement. After more than 20 years, SOG Specialty Knives and Tools has become renowned for its innovations and ingenuity in the cutlery industry – largely credited to its founder and chief designer, Spencer Frazer. Whereas most companies collaborate with custom knife makers to help envision products, Spencer is the sole creative force that keeps SOG ahead of the game.
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.
Last week we went out and took some new action shots with some of our knives. We are going to be adding them to the product image galleries over the coming weeks. In case any one is interested here is a sampling of what we have done.
Enjoy and there will be more coming over the next couple weeks.
We just received word today from our European sales rep just won the Gold Medal at the World Martial Arts Championships. We want to send him a big congratulations. Here are some images of him.
I have just created a SOG Knives photo group on Flickr. In case you do not know what Flickr is visit here. In summary it is a site that you can post images to for the world to see. The SOG Knives group is for anyone with a SOG knife to post images to.
Get your cameras out, take some photos of your knives, and you may win something. Once every two months we will pick a photo and the person that posted the image will win a prize. I have posted some images to get everyone started.
I’m looking forward to seeing images and good luck!
