SOG's new wire strippers... is it originally a Paladin component?

I noticed the component doesn't have "SOG" written all over it plus it has a lightning bolt logo instead of SOG's "shark fin/knife cutting bullet" logo.  Is this a Paladin component?

I don't think so. I've got all three Paladin models and none of them have that wire stripper gizmo.

To the best of my knowledge, the wire stripping implement was a SOG implement that was to be included in the PowerCut.

Does SOG make Paladin?

they do a special run of parts(and complete MTs) branded as paladin but they are sog in scence

Yeah, Paladin Tools wanted multitools for the data communication industry so they got together with SOG and collaborated on a multitool.  The result is their PowerPlay multitools which share similar components, features and design to SOG's PowerLocks.

@ LM123: you're absolutely right. I just checked their catalog and notice the wire stripper component on the PowerCut.  I had completely forgotten all about that.  The lightning bolt logo threw me off and for some reason, I instantly thought of Paladin when I saw it.     I try to forget all about the PowerCut now...

Cliosguy, I got another s62 on ebay(new and for alot less $ than the one I returned)
This one is complete w/ v-cutter and locks much better. very happy with this one, suspect someone switched that last one I got as the packaging was not fully sealed, and not tied down with wire like this new one.

Another guy sells the paladin pt525 for $30 + $7 shipping on ebay, is that a good tool/decent price??

Definitely.  Paladin PowerPlays are more expensive than SOG PowerLocks so $30 for a 525 is a good deal.  525 normally sells for $80+ USD.
