We just received this email exchange from the father of a US Marine stationed in Afghanistan. A big Thank you for his and everyone’s sacrifice made in the line of duty.

Subject: Fwd: SOG SOG Multitool survives IED  attack

My son is a United States Marine  serving our country in Afghanistan.  His Armored Humvee was hit by an IED  and the attack was detailed in a Fox News video entitled “Courage Under Fire”  as one of their cameramen was involved in rescuing his wounded Sergeant.   Attached is an email I received from him today relating the condition of  the vehicle and its’ equipment after the fire.  While his SOG Tiger Camo  Flash II was destroyed, his SOG multi-tool was the only thing in the vehicle  to survive.   Thank you for making such quality  products.

Dude,

I forgot  to tell you the story about the SOG.  The SOG   multi-tool that you got for me, was pretty much the only  thing to  survive the incident in my truck.  Literally everything  in the truck was  burnt, and melted.  Even things such as the  heavy duty .50 cal  tripod, rifles, etc., were completely  unrecognizable.  However the truck  frame, the actual .50 itself,  and the SOG multi-tool, were the only things  that survived.  The  .50 cal is obviously destroyed, and will never fire  again, but it kept  it’s shape, which was a big surprise.  But one of the  mechanics  later found my SOG on the floor of the truck.  Still works and   everything.  I thought that was pretty amazing, considering.   The  SOG knife, that I had was also found, although it was welded  to the  floor.  Goes to show you the quality of the product,  thought you would  get a kick out of it.

Here is a great video of a SOG user sharpening his Trident Tanto.  This technique will work with most knives and should give you great results with a little practice.

Check out the video of the Twitch XL that I just finished.  It is a work in progress and let me know what you think.

Just received a great image of the Battle Ax from our distributor in Finland.

It is always nice to receive images like this from our customers.  If any has anything they can send them to me at marketing@sogknvies.com or post them to the SOG flickr pool.

Here is a great photo submitted to the SOG flickr pool of the Pentagon fixed blade knife.

Keep the photos coming. I really like seeing all the different images of SOG knives.

Just came across this nice review of the SEAL Pup Elite. I think he did a good job and I’ll be on look out for more.

Just found this review on Sierra Trading Post about the Trident with TigerStripe blade.

“Pros: AUS8 is bloody great mate, No slip grip is hip, Sharp lookin’ - meow

Best Uses: Cuttin’ stuff

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments: I don’t leave home without it. I just nicknamed it Pokey, I hope the name sticks.”

 

Thanks for the review and if any one else has any comments let us know.

Just came across this video of Terry O’Quinn, of LOST fame, throwing the Tigershark. I don’t have anything else to say but WOW!

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.

I recently received this comment from Joe Norman, Whitetail Deer expert.

SOG,
I would like to personally thank you for your commitment to excellence. I have carried the SOG Revolver on every hunt I have went on. There is truly nothing that compares to the revolver. I have cut numerous limbs and small trees out of my way during stand placement and I have also cleaned one bear and five whitetail deer and the saw and knife are both as sharp as the day I got it. Every hunter needs this and it is so convienent to carry. Thanks again……
