		<description><![CDATA[SOG Twitch II help to free someone from a car accident.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We just received another great story of how one of our knives helped free someone from a car accident.  This time it was the Twitch II, but having any knife one you would be a good idea.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Dear SOG Knives,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I want to say that the knife I purchased from AG Russell was literally a Life Saver!  This past Saturday, my fiancés family and I visited the AG Russell showroom. I bought a few knives for my collection, my fiancé bought a machete as an Xmas present, my in-laws discussed the zebra painting, and I was drooling over the SOG Agency and the AG Field Knife II.  Since the Agency and the Field Knife II are out of my reach during Christmas, I ended up discussing the Twitch II with the salesman.  I was really impressed with the one hand opening of the knife and how handy that would be when opening feed bags on the farm and cutting twine for lashing down cargo.  I was carrying a Victorinox Cadet, but I replaced it Saturday with the Twitch II.  As we left your shop, I clipped the knife to the inside of my pants pocket, but little did I know I would use it less than 24 hours later.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Sunday as we left NWA on I-40, a few large animals step in front of our car, and my fiancé swerved to keep from hitting the large towering animals in the road. The car spun out of control and we flew off the side of the interstate hitting a tree that spun my side (passenger) into 2 large trees. My right leg was pinned under the dash, as my pants had hung on something, and my seat belt wouldn&#8217;t unlock as the passenger side seat was sitting partly  on top of the center console. My right arm was pinned because the impact swung it up under me, but I used my left hand to retrieve the Twitch II knife from my pocket, opened it with one finger, and cut the seat belt. I then used it to cut away my pants leg that hung up under the dash.  If I would of not been able to get out of the car we would still be sitting there as no one was around us, we were way off down the embankment, the cell phone was busted, the front lights had busted out, it was really cold and we were wet from an exploded cooler.  By being able to free myself, I was able to disconnect the car&#8217;s power, and then I was able to pry open the busted trunk to retrieve a flashlight and a working cell phone.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">We suffered a few cuts, some bruised ribs, a few bruises, a totaled car, but we survived. I&#8217;m grateful for our visit to the AG Russell Knife Shop and for the great products that they carry.  I will soon be placing a order for a Twitch II from AG Russell for my fiancé, who when I bought the knife was afraid I would injure myself with a SAT knife, but after our adventure I think she now see&#8217;s how handy the SOG Twitch II is in a desperate situation.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">When I finally get in the position to buy the SOG Agency I&#8217;ll be placing my order from AG Russell. AG Russell and SOG have earned a customer for life!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am trying to compile a list of apperances of SOG products in various TV shows and movies.  Here is the list I have so far.  I am sure that there are I items I am missing so if you know of anything please let me know.</p>
<p>Lost &#8211; Tigershark</p>
<p>House &#8211; Twitch XL</p>
<p>Kill Bill &#8211; Desert Daggert</p>
<p>Shooter &#8211; Twitch XL</p>
<p>Terminator 2 &#8211; SOG Bowie</p>
<p>Battlestar Galactica &#8211; SEAL Revolver</p>
<p>Bonus point if you can provide or point to an image of the knife in the TV show or movie.</p>
<p>Update:  I have also posted this on bladeforums.com and gotten some good answers to add to the list.</p>
<blockquote><p>The movie &#8220;<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">SOLDIER</span></strong>&#8221; with Kurt Russell has at least two SOG&#8217;s that I have seen.</p>
<p>Shows Kurt in action with a <span style="color: blue;"><strong>SOG Seal 2000</strong></span>.</p>
<p>Also, shows Jason Scott Lee in action with a <span style="color: blue;"><strong>SOG Pentagon</strong></span> in the final one-on-one fight scene with Kurt.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was doing some cleaning up in the office the other day and came across a back issue of Fighting Knives from 1991.  The publication is now out of business but there are some great articles in the back issues.  The one that I found has a really <a target="_blank" title="Fighting Knives Articel" href="http://www.sogknives.com/documents/SOG-FightingKnives.pdf">in depth article about the CISO/SOG knives designed by Ben Baker</a>. <em>(Link goes to a 6 MB PDF file)</em><br />
<img style="width: 517px; height: 437px" id="image119" alt="Fighting Knives Cover" src="http://sogknives.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/Picture%201.png" /></p>
<p>I thought that this might be of interest to everyone so I have scanned it and uploaded the pdf.  If you would like to read the article please <a target="_blank" title="Fighting Knives Articel" href="http://www.sogknives.com/documents/SOG-FightingKnives.pdf">download the pdf</a> <em>(6 MB)</em>.</p>
<p>If anyone has any more resources that they would like to share please do as I am trying to create an archive and collect as much info as possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Came across a great list of the <a title="SOG knives from Vietnam" href="http://www.militaryfightingknives.com/collection.html#SOG">original SOG knives</a> that were procured for the <a title="Studies and Observation Group" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studies_and_Observations_Group">Studies and Observation Group</a> during the <a title="Vietnam War Info - Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War">Vietnam war</a>.  Many of these knives are the inspiration for <a title="SOG Knives" href="http://www.sogknives.com">SOG Specialty Knives</a> and the direct influence for the <a title="SOG Bowie Commemorative" href="http://sogknives.com/store/S1C.html">SOG Bowie Commemorative</a>.  Actually, it is manufactured in one of the same factories as the Vietnam era knives.  our version has some slight changes from the original but we tired to keep the spirit alive on our version.</p>
<p><img alt="SOG Bowie Commemorative Image" title="SOG Bowie Commemorative Image" src="http://www.sogknives.com/images/flash/S1C/pic3.jpg" /></p>
<p>So take a moment and look through the <a title="SOG knives in Vietnam" href="http://www.militaryfightingknives.com/collection.html#SOG">descriptions and images of the SOG knives</a> on the <a title="Military Fighting Knives" href="http://www.militaryfightingknives.com/">Military Fighting Knives  website</a>.</p>
