Old SOG ad...

[Grant Lamontagne]

I just got this one from my contact at SOG and wanted to share it.  I remember when they first rolled this one out, almost everyone I knew thought it was trick photography!

My question was, how many interns did they go through to get this shot?  I mean, someone had to hold the knife, right?

The story goes that this was the 17th shot, and you can see the buildup on the blade. 

Anyways, I always liked this ad and wanted to share.

That is a great picture. Thanks for sharing.

I always liked it.  When I was talking to Chris at SOG a few days ago I made sure to ask if he had a copy of it.  My first SOG was actually a Mini Pentagon, and it was the sharpest knife I have ever had out of the box.  I bought it because this ad intrigued me so much, and I only had enough cash for a smaller model.  I gotta say, if it weren't for this ad, it probably would have been alot longer before I even looked at SOGs in general, knife or tool.
And, thanks to EDCDepot, I just added two more SOGs to my collection, the CrossCut and CrossGrip!  More on them later too!

is that real?

[Grant Lamontagne]

Yuppers... it's very real.  One of my old bosses insisted that it couldn't be until we started talking about it.  He soon realized that if flesh will cause a bullet to mushroom or flatten then a hardened steel wouldn't have a problem cutting through it.

Lead may be heavy but it is soft, and after being launched by a small explosion, it's usually pretty hot, making it even softer.

The flash intro for the SOG website has a short 3 or 4 frame movie of the bullet hitting the knife.

Neat!! I never saw that before. I guess I shouldn't be so hasty to click that "Skip Intro" button.
