I was just emailed this image of the SEAL Revolver being used in Battlestar Galactica.  Just thought I’d share it with everyone.

We are currently in the process of uploading all the new product information to the SOG website. In the meantime if you can not wait to see everything online a PDF of the catalog has been uploaded for your enjoyment. The file is about 10 MB in size so give it some time to download.

I have been in contact with the folks behind Lifesong Wilderness Adventures over the past year or so. Celeste who works with Mark the founder of Lifesong and is a Fish and Wildlife Biologist field researcher just posted a great review of the Hunter Revolver. You should go over to their site and check it out. But here is one of the better quotes from it.

Needless to say before the the first day was done, I had numerous individuals hovering ’round’ me wanting a better look at that “KNIFE”.At that point it became clear to me, I had a very useful knife that made my work much more pleasant and comfortable. Also, I best keep it close or it may make some other biologist’s day better. No thieves, just intelligent people who appreciate good equipment.

Also, while you are at it you might as well enter to win a free class from Lifesong. They are running a contest right now and one lucky person will win free tuition to the May 18th- 23rd class.

Inspired by our consulting work with Bear Grylls and Man Vs Wild, plus our own personal adventures in the wild, we created a 6 day extreme challenge course to match the adventure and excitement, for YOU.

If you thrive on personal challenges and enjoy adrenalin adventure, you’re going to love The Edge. Six intense days of wilderness survival training prepares each participant for a solo, two day, overnight adventure during camp.

Carrying only a knife, flint, canteen/cup and the clothes on your back, like Bear does during Man vs. Wild, (less the camera crew), you will face the adventure with only the skills and knowledge you gain during camp.

We’re not going to give away exactly what’s in store for you during THE EDGE, but suffice to say, it will be a challenging, exciting, and most of all, an exclusive personal adventure you won’t soon forget.

We’re so excited about offering this camp that we’re going to give ONE lucky person the opportunity to win a FREE EDGE ADVENTURE!

Tell us, in 500 to 1000 words, why you want to take this camp, and why The Edge experience will enhance your life.

The winner will attend The Edge Camp May 18-23, 2008 tuition FREE.

So get your writing skills focused and enter to win.  But there is one more thing.  I will be throwing in a knife to the winner.  I have not decided which knife yet but it will be nice one.

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.

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..

Received this nice story from a SOG user recently. It speaks to the benefits of having a quick access blade on you at all times.

I just wanted to let you know that I am a very proud owner of several of your knives. I also want you to know how one of your products came in handy in preventing some serious bodily injury for a parade participant during my vacation last week. While attending a Fourth of July parade in northern lower Michigan, I happened to be carrying my SOG Mini X-ray Vision. My family and I were viewing from near the staging/starting area. The parade is quite a quirky and fun exhibit of silliness, so there was a lot of unchoreographed behavior by the entrants. One of the entries was a group of clownishly dressed people following a minivan which had loudspeakers mounted to the roof and cans trailing behind attached with what turned out to be very sturdy nylon cord. As the group was awaiting their turn to step off, some of the clowns were walking around acting goofy and one became entangled in the cord. He didn’t realize that the cans had wrapped around his ankle and flipped back over the cord. He was standing there shaking his foot as the minivan driver began moving forward. Due to the loudspeakers and other noise, the driver was unable to hear the shouts of those witnessing it telling him to stop. I quickly covered the fifteen or so feet as I withdrew my knife, opened it, grabbed the cord, placed the serrations against it and severed it in one quick slice - just as the entangled clown was being pulled off of his feet. The van stopped just as the cord was cut. The crowd applauded as I quickly made my way back to my family and the parade went on. Although the crowd was applauding the avoidance of catastrophy, I was applauding the fine tool I had just reinserted into my pocket.

Thanks for making such fine products.
