SOG QUESTION: ANY OTHER SERIOUS SOG COLLECTORS OUT THERE?

I honestly don't know what steel my Tech I and Tech II are made with. Both were purchased after they were discontinued. I have an SK5 Tigershark that still makes my pupils dilate when I pick it up. I'm not a collector.

Check out my website, it will probably be of use to you.

If you use anything from there please just give the site credit.

The original makers for the Seki Sogs were:

S1 and S2 - Hattori
All other fixed blades - Kinryu
All folders including current seki folders - G.Sakai

Good Sir, I’ve been well aware of your fine website for years. In fact, I recently picked a ultra rare SOG SPECIALTIES stamped Trident that is featured in your website. If not for your website, SOG Collectors like myself wouldn’t of known that it existed. Clearly this knife is considered the “Holy Grail” by SOG Collectors. Therefore, a big thank you.
 
I liked the look of their Daggert. But, I never got one. I was broke and the fact they were made in Taiwan didn't appeal to me.

I have owned several Sog knives, although they seemed to be decent quality, they just didn’t grow on me. My last Sog was the PentArc, I ended including it in on a trade for another Benchmade.
 
Hi Jay,

I only collect SOG knives and have 100+ knives in my collection. I’m certainly intrested in discussing SOGs and exchange notes. Most of the knives i own are discontinued models, most of them Seki Japan made, with the exception of a few USA made models. Nevertheless i'm still missing some early, certainly in Europe hard to find, pieces.

Flemish Belgium or Walloon Belgium?
Or German Belgium?
 
I like the older Seki Sogs. I have a Gentleman, Stingray and Sogwinder. Carry them all, but like the Sidewinder the best. They wear well and lock up like a bank vault. AUS-6 is good enough for me :)

Awesome! I’m following you now. At times I need to make room for more valuable knives, so I’ll sell a few via eBay for rock bottom prices. I’m connected with a few other SOG Collectors so keep in touch. In time I’ll post a few gems from my collection.
 
Somewhat off topic, but I do find it very cool that SOG put out a modern swing guard knife in the Quake. I don't care for the looks, but it's conceptually very neat and I'm glad someone did it.
 
I recommended to SOG that they change the handle color to black. The blade is flat-out tough looking VG-10 specimen. The trick with opening them is to put your thumb on the very end of the lever/guard to maximize leverage. Most guys, even big dudes, fail miserably to open it... especially the larger XL model.
 
The only SOG I own is a X-42 field knife which I liked a lot but could never get it very sharp.
Had a wicked edge sharpening done to it and my son who has it nowadays really likes that one.
 
Not a collector of SOG myself. Only have 3.
2 of the Huntspoint knives to make the set, and a Team Leader.
The Team leader is far larger than I would normally buy or carry, and far more tactical than anything else I own. Still it has a good feel and balance to it, so I have held on to it.
 
I've always admired the old seki S1 and Trident. Their blades just look sooo sexy to me and I like the old leather washer handle on the S1's. I have been looking at them more so recently and its funny this thread popped up with the old Sogs and still being on my mind.
