Probably because they use a softer stainless steel that doesn't agree with harder wire. I really don't know. It might also be the cutting knives are meeting up and damaging each other, instead of meeting at a slight offset like a quality pair,(Hard to explain but noticeable if you have a Klein pair of cutters. Channellock uses an anvil type cutter), but I think SOG would realize that.
Should just use tool steel.
