I went to a gun show this past weekend and checked in on the knife dealers there. I had a conversation with one that told me his sales on SOG knives had gone down since they changed their manufacturing plant to Taiwan. So, my question is, does anyone out there have the same knife made in both countries? The knife dealer only had newer knives so I couldn’t get a comparison.
I don’t believe that SOG would allow their standards to slip just because they changed the country that their knives are made in, but I’d like to hear from anyone that has had problems with their knives and in what country it was manufactured.
Here you will find information on hunting knives, tactical knives, survival knives and other assorted things I like. I’ve been running a blog at the Wordpress.com site and decided it was time to get my own domain. I’ll be posting some articles I, and a few other people, have written about knives and collecting knives, as well as where you can find the knives you read about here.
I have a few contacts at a couple of the major knife manufacturers so you’ll see me post answers from them to questions my readers send me, which brings me to the point of this site. I want this site to be about information on knives. I have some favorites but need to expand my horizons to some of the other manufacturers.
So, in order to do that I need questions from you, my readers. What information are you looking for on the knife you’ve decided may be right for you? Let me know and I’ll do my best to find the answers, because I’m sure more people have the same questions.
(Grabs bottle of champagne and breaks it over the bow of the site) And with that… it is launched.
Police in London are on the lookout for £200 frozen-gas knives designed to kill bears and sharks, according to the never-inflammatory Daily Mail.
The manufacturer describes [the Wasp Knife] as perfect for downed pilots, soldiers and security guards and boasts that it will “drop many of the world’s largest land predators”.It can snap-freeze all tissue and organs in the area surrounding the blast.
A source close to West Midlands Police said: “The Met is obviously concerned about this and that is why they have circulated the information.
“This knife will almost certainly kill and the Met must have intelligence that they are in circulation.
“I think it is only a matter of time before one of these is used because the internet makes it much easier to find and buy weapons like this.”
I just updated a squidoo lens with reviews on some fixed blade knives. You can check it out at www.squidoo.com/knifehunter. I’ll be adding some new reviews soon and I’ll be focusing on American made knives. Although, you will probably find a couple of knives made in other countries (like our friends to the north, Canada).
