I just received a SOG Pillar that I ordered from a supplier I have used many times before and consider to be trustworthy, however the knife is not as it was described, on the suppliers website it says the following:
“full tang CPM-S35VN stainless steel blade with a part stonewashed, part machine ground finish”
and that is as every SOG Pillar knife I have ever seen on YouTube video's and review photo's looks, however mine lacks the “part machine ground finish” and is instead stonewashed all over: (the blue marks are reflections of the Christmas tree lights)
when I first looked at it, I thought that the supplier had sent me a different model of SOG Pillar so I spent a while looking at many pictures of different model variants and the only designs I could find are as follows:
Image 1 is just like the one I thought I ordered
Image 2 and 3 have blades that are coated
I can't find a single photo of a SOG Pillar that looks like the one I now have? This left me wondering if it's a manufacturing defect, or maybe if it's a fake – if that's even possible? (it does seem too well made to be a fake) Although I'm not too good on computers so I might have missed something in my research, that's why I decided to post some pictures here
I would just send it back to the supplier because it's not as described, but I actually like the look of the fully stonewashed blade more than the part ground finish, I just want to be sure (somehow) that it's a genuine SOG knife
any input is appreciated
