Sog Fishing Multi Tool

[WH867]

Anyone have any info on these  .   Looks like a Power Assist with a couple modifications.

[David]

Nope Dennis aint got a clue.

Don't see it on their site now but they do have a sailing version listed. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=130121&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=10108&subdeptNum=10487&classNum=10490

I didn't know these existed. 


Thanks for the good info.

Hmm, it's nice to see that SOG has been using the PowerAssist frame for more than just the PowerAssist; too bad they never /told/ anyone.    Still, Marlin Spike and V-cutter as outside opening tools?  Neat.   Chako, do your thing, since although I have no need for one, it looks too cool to not have a picture documentary of it. :3

[J-sews]

Wow, that's interesting. Different versions of the PowerAssist eh? I wonder how long before there's a Paladin electronics version?

[J-sews]

Thought #2:
I'm still not thrilled about SOG moving some of their manufacturing overseas, but the upside is that its cheaper for them to crank out these niche variations.

[SlackOne]

I think it's kind of dumb that they're using the PowerAssist frame with no spring assist, then leaving the middle section completely empty with a big black spacer.

Amici,
Pretty interesting and so far I can't find it anywhere listed with my usual sources, not even ebay.. Didn't it also look like the main blade had a stud for OHO?

Cheers,
Serge

The main blade and V-cutter looked like that, in fact.

At :41 in the video he says it has carbide inserts (a new thing for SOG, but is that good or bad?)

[Chako]

Just pulled the trigger on the West Marine sailing version. The Blacktip was nowhere to be seen. Thanks for that nice bit of info.

Yeah looks like the head has them.

But they put the V cutter in a non-replaceable assisted location, don't like that.

that stinks I just saw one of their stores I did not know that had neat stuff like that

[Chako]

I had to order it over the phone. No West Marine stores anywhere near me that I know about.

[yud]

I saw the store in RI & knew I had herd of them but could not place it (and we need to get some where)

There is one in Petoskey that is not too far, may try to get over there when we head up to Mackinaw City

There's a store in Traverse City too. Will you be getting over here to the west coast at all Yud?

[yud]

I don't know what we are going to be doing, the pass few trips we have gone up Whitefish Pt. so this time we might go down the west coast

I love it up there

I've been told that the West Marine Fishing Tool is being recalled due to an unspecified quality issue.

I've been told that the West Marine Fishing Tool is being recalled due to an unspecified quality issue.

SOG releasing a MT before it is ready, NO I find that hard to believe  . I guess it is a different variation on the constantly delayed release date approach to product release. I wonder if the Fishing Tool will ever reappear
