A new rant!
on: September 23, 2008, 11:23:27 PM
OK I kind got everything I ever wanted to say off my chest about the Suspension, but now I got to ask...

SOG what have you guys been smoking?

I have had a powerlock now for over 2 years, and I love it. But the blade you put on them is well.................Kinda retarded. :ahhh

The first thing is It is way too flexible. I believe you could actually use it to filet fish if it was a bit longer.
Second the serr suck. I mean really the pattern is great but the chisel grind on it makes the serrations roll over or deform when cutting anything harder than a balogna sandwich. and while talking about chisel grind can ya just give a guy a break and spend the additional  5 sec. at the grinder, and put the other side on? I would be willing to pay the hourly fee for the worker to add the 5 sec there. I mean what wiould it cost ya a nickle?

I know you make a fantastic tool. Lord knows mine has serviced me well over the years, but it you really dont mind just fix this one issue I have, or at least call Leatherman and learn how to make a blade the right way.


We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

That was always a mystery to me why a knife manufacturer put's a bloody chisel grind on there MT's :think:, surely they must know better than most how to do a parallel grind ::)

I really dont get it myself. I actually believe there is someone somewhere that said. I can save you 5 sec. on every tool.

I really do love my powerlock.

The blade (half serrated, half plain) on my Powerlock has always been used for quick and dirty cutting, and it's still sharp so I can't complaign.  Although the blade on my old Wave and Surge are "better" knives, the Powerlock blade works fine for me. 

I'm surprised a modder hasn't created a better blade for the Powerlock...it's easy as hell to take apart!

I agree with you 100% You would think that because they are a knife company, then they would make some quality knife blades!

I reprofiled the plain edge part on mine to traditional V grind as soon as I got it, although I don't have the tools to do the serrated part. I actually never figured out how was serration ground in factory.

I'm with you hawkchucker.  The blade sucks.

Can I also join your rant and complain about the stupid plastic spacers between tools?

OK the spacers are a joke also, but I really just cant fathom why they do this. I am now playing around with my Twitch II. Best 20 bucks I spent. Then I look at my sog powerlock and love the tool. However I really do have to carry a blade with it. I really cant fathom thier thinking.
