Old SOG pamphlets

[Viper]

A few moments ago, I took a peek at the miniature catalog that my Mini Topo came in, ecpecting nothing new. What I was met with was something entirely different than before! MY first thought was that they finally got a new one, but, as I realized shortly afterwards, it was, of course, old. It didn't have many designs that were new to me, but it was amazing seeing some of the now-discontinued Topo knives being listed as "NEW". Many of you probably have these catalogs, but I have known about SOG for less than a year now (technically, I've known about them for a while, but I only recently paid any attention to them) so it is interesting to me.

The only knife in the catalog that I hadn't heard of was something called the  "Duo". It looked fairly strange, but, as many of you guys probably know, I'm a sucker for a regular (non multi-tool) knife with both a serrated and a straight edge blade. But no more knives for a while for me. My New Year's resolution is to put about 75 or 80% of my money earned toward my Strad. And when I'm at school, the average ammount of money I make is null. So only about three months a year of working (Winter and Summer vacations). That means that it is most likely that I won't be getting anything sharp and pointy until mid 2008.    Which is why I was glad to get a Tomcat, which might be able to hold me over for a while.


The only exception that I'll probably make is the Powerassist. I got one last exemplary knife, so I need one last exemplary multitool to go with it. 

I've already gone off topic, and this is the first post!

I've got some of those pamphlets from the early 1990's. As a multitool nut though, I never paid any attention to the knives inside. Does yours have a copyright date? (Or anything else to date it?)

Mine is actually only 2005, but it is still interesting to see all that has changed since then!

I really want to get a Duo now for some reason. It's ugly as sin, honestly, but I stil like it...

Have you found any SOGs that you don't like?

Good one ( Viper) haha!

I don't like:
Flash 1 and 2

I looked into getting a Flash a while back...never handled one though.  What don't you like about them?

[Viper]

I think they seem a little weak. The blades are thin and the handles are made out of plastic or a plastic-like material. I don't know, there's just something about them I just don't like. Besides the fact that I find them ugly.

I just found the manual that came with my Micro Toolclip, which didn't have a date, but I know is older than the one with my Mini Topo.


I wish I hadn't found either now, because now I have about five or six SOG knives that I want that are going to be immensely difficult to come across.

[Viper]

Wow!!!

Just for grins and giggles I looked on eBay for the knives that I wanted, and I found the two that I wanted most (duo and mini-gentleman) and about 30USD each buy-it-now in eBay stores!


Now I'll probably sell that AirSOG, along with some other knives I have lying around. I've been thinking that as long as I compensate the money by selling knives, multitools, etc., I can buy new multitools and knives even while saving up for my Strad!

Plus I get paid tomorrow!
