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.
I have been talking with Mark Wienert of Life Song Wilderness Adventures. Apparently he has a SOG Bowie and has been using it for almost 10 years as a part of his wilderness training classes. On his site there is a good discussion about survival knives and his working with Bear Grylis in Man vs. Wild. I just got info from him that he is starting a new class called the Edge. From talking to Mark this sounds like a great course. Just passing along some info that might be on interest.
The Marketing Department here at SOG is pleased to introduce a re-envisioning of the SOG brand in our website. Along with this new look and feel, you’ll notice some exciting new changes; Most paramount among them being the grand-opening of the SOG online store! Now buying SOG is even more quick and convenient - Check out the Products Page and see for yourself!
You’ll also notice a new system of navigation - Gone is the old system; we’ve replaced it with easy-to-use drop down menus, side tabs along the left side of select pages, and universal bottom navigation for quick access to the most searched pages.
Even with the new look, we realize that we’re not perfect… but we’d sure love to get close! So feedback on the new look and feel is greatly appreciated; just head on over to our Contact section and tell us what you think!
Finally, during the coming weeks and months, even more exclusive content will be implemented throughout the site. Fell free to check back from time to time for new updates right here in the blog. And who knows… you may just get a sneak peak of some of the new products in development!
