SOG to perhaps launch non assisted variants!

[Tinnie]

Yesterday I contacted the guys and gals at SOG Knives about why their assisted knives were not being sold in a non-assisted variant because some countries don't allow assisted knives to be carried and or be imported. Mainly to stop me drooling over their knives ( ).

So I got this response here

'We are actually in the process of discussing that issue right now, due
to pending changes in the U.S. Customs classification of switchblade
knives to include all assisted-opening and one-handed knives.
The pending Customs changes are scheduled to take effect on September
19th, 2009 so I expect that if we do release our assisted knives in
non-assisted format it will occur around that time.'

So perhaps we will be seeing them in the future Crossing my fingers

nice, some of them assisted knives are very nice and that have nothing to do with the fact that theyre assisted(aegis, trident, flash, etc)

True! Some knives are so smooth you just don't need AO.

This is exciting news... we need more legal carry knives

Hate to pi$$ on the bonfire here, but currently it makes jack all difference to us as it's the locking part that makes them un-edcable.  Now if they made some non-locking variants that would be exciting!

Either that or make us some sensible politicians that actually address problems rather than banning everything with possible applications as a weapon.

I think both are equally unlikely to happen.
