In our ever continuing quest to provide more and more information on the SOG website we have added two new videos on how to change/replace the pocket clip on a couple of our knives. These videos are specifically for the Twitch XL and Spec Elite/Pentagon Elite but apply to more models.

The Twitch XL also applies to the Flash I & II, Trident, Aegis, X-Ray Vision, Mini X-Ray Vision, Visionary I & II, and Vulcans. The tools needed to remove the clip screw is different on some of these modles so please refer to the handy chart we have created here.

The Pentagon Elite and Spec Elite are a little different than most of our other knives in that they have three fasteners that need to be removed in order to replace or change the clip. Also, you will need two different drivers a Torx 10 and small Phillips.

We hope this helps out and if you have more questions let us know.

Do you have a PowerLock multi-tool? Have you wanted to know how to install scissors in the tool?  We have just created a video on how to do just that.  It is quite easy.  Give the three and half minute video below a watch.

We received this email last week, about a SOG customer that had lost his knife in a lake and then found it several years later.  He is sending it in for repair and will be a happy SOG user again shortly.

Dear SOG knives,

I hope you find my story interesting. Attached are pictures of my SOG Trident Tigerstripe knife given to me by my father several years ago. At first glance, its easy to notice the poor condition the knife is in. However, in this case the condition of the knife should not be considered poor, but a testament to the excellent quality of your knives.  Here’s the story.

4 years ago I was fishing Medina Lake just outside San Antonio, TX. when I dropped my knife in 35 feet of water. Knowing I would never see my knife again, I naturally was upset because of the sentimental value, not to mention loosing a damn good knife.

Flash to Saturday, August 01, 2009.  My wife, step daughter, and I decide to take our labs out to Medina Lake for a swim.  The lake is at a all time low and has dropped 41 feet.  As we walked down the steep rocky slope of the bank to the waters edge, I commented on a former productive rock ledges I frequently fished and how we now would be under 30-35 feet of water. The thought of this being the location of where I dropped my knife years earlier never entered my mind until I looked down at my feet only to see the knife in the picture.  That’s when it came back to me. This has to be my knife. There is no way to tell 100% but the odds of two fishermen, loosing a Sog Trident knife with a tigerstripe blade in the same place is not very likely.

Hats off to the quality of your knives.  Other then surface algae and rust on the blade and hinge, the only  mechanical defect after 4 years under 35 feet of water is, the blade will not lock.  If the quality of your repair and warranty matches that of your knives, I’m sure that will not be a problem for long.

Thanks again from all of us who spent our time outdoors, and depend on quality products.  Sog knives are indeed a high quality product, worth recommending to others.  Keep it up.

Sincerely,

Jerry

I was just forwarded these great photos from a SOG fan. Great use of the SEAL Pup Elite with straight edge blade.

I was cleaning out some drawers here and came across a knife that SOG received from the folks at LOST.  It was signed by Terry O’Quinn who plays John Locke.  Check out the photos of the knife.  I was really excited to get this and I think we will have it framed and hang it on the wall in the lobby.

Just received this comment from a happy user of the SOG Field Pup. It is always nice to hear from our customers that they like their knives.

Dear Spencer,

Just a quick letter to let you know how much I’ve enjoyed my new SOG Field Pup.  I had been researching a knife for field dressing large and small game that would stay sharp plus be designed in a way that allows for the knife to rest into the palm of your hand without restriction and fatigue for long periods of time.  After 4 hours with my cousin dressing out a 1,200 lbs. Canadian Western Moose.  I knew I made the right choose.

Sincerely,

Brian

Check for more information check out the Field Pup.  It is definitely a great little knife that is sometimes over looked for the more popular and larger knives.  Whether you get a Field Pup or not you can go wrong.

Here is a photo of Spencer working on one of our new products.

Here is a great video and demonstration of some well thought out additions/modifications to the SEAL Pup kydex sheath. Watch the whole thing as he does some great demonstrations at the end.

We receive email from time to time about customers that have customized their knives.  Some of these are really stand out and here is one that I want to share.

This is Chris’s Arcitech that he asked his good friend David at Stone Art Custom Knives to do some work on. He was kind enough to send over some images and information on the knife. Read more to see the story.

Just came across a great review of the Fusion Fixation Bowie on youtube. Check it out and let me know what you think.
