Title: SOG Flash MT legit or clone
Post by: Trnkggt on July 13, 2023, 12:31:32 PM
Hello, has any of you bought sog flash mt from AliExpress? Price anywhere else is at least 60$ but on AliExpress its 35-40$. I asked the seller and he said it's original but I still have doubts

when the original is made in China the manufacturer might make more than the company ordered and sell the surplus via AliExpress.  They may be the exact same tool as the SOG with the same markings, but not authorized by SOG, or they may be seconds that were refused by SOG, or they may be a clone made on the same assembly line as SOG or they could be an all out copy.  Most of AliExpress's stuff is pretty good quality, but is it really a SOG?  You buy from AliExpress you take your chances.

I bought one a while ago. Came in a sog box with sog branding and, while I don’t have another to compare to, the quality was pretty good. The only thing I found “wrong” was the box spelled multitool as miltitool in one instance.
