The Primer magazine did a nice article on SOG and some of our products including the NW Ranger and PowerLock.  I’d suggest that you go and read the article.

Primer Mag – Survival SOG Style

Just got some new product reviews in here at SOG HQ.

PoliceListing.com did a great piece on the Mini X-Ray Vision, which just happens to be one of my favorite knives.  You can check out what they have to say on their website at – http://www.policelisting.com/police%20gear%20weeklyjuly19_2010.html

Also the PowerAssist was covered on the Contractor Supply website.  This is a great tool for the job site or DIY’er.  Read the review on the site at – http://www.contractorsupplymagazine.com/pages/Spre/SOG-PowerLock-MultiTool.php

Police Magazine has done a preview on the upcoming Micro ToolClip. As they say it even comes in Tactical Pink!

If you have a chance check out the July/August issue of Boating Magazine for a great review of the SOG PowerAssist Multi-tool.  You can also enter for a chance to win the PowerAssist on their website.

The SOG PowerLock (B61) was mentioned in wired.com’s GeekDad Father’s Day Gift Guide.  Go check it out.

Boating Magazine has included a quick review of the SOG countertop sharpener in their most recent issue of the magazine.

The SOG PowerLock is used extensively in the Oscar nominated movie the Hurt Locker. Here is a screen shot from one of the many scenes that have the PowerLock in them. Also, if you look there are a few other SOG products in the movie. In my quick scan I saw a Trident and Gov-Tac.

The PowerLock was recently reviewed on the Gadget Show in the UK. It went up against almost 30 different multi-tools and came out the winner.  Watch the video for complete test and review.

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 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.
