A.G. Russell Knives

The original Stingray was one of the first folders SOG ever produced and was a heavy-duty work knife. In late 2008, they introduced the Stingray 2.0. This Stingray limited edition is the next offering in that line. SOG decided to keep the thick blade stock of the original (a full 1/8"), but stepped up to San Mai steel, a VG-10 core at 59-60 Rc. laminated 420J2 on either side.

The new Creed is one of the more dramatic blade shapes in the SOG arsenal. The high level of performance starts with a very stout front end that weights the knife forward for chopping and piercing and with a big belly on the blade that maximizes the cutting edge for extreme wilderness and hunting situations.

For most people the name SOG® brings to mind High Tech and Tactical knives. In the Facet, SOG® has created a knife combining class with tactical/high tech features including textured carbon fiber handle scales and machined nickel silver bolsters.

The Fish On is a working theme knife from SOG® with a focus on fishing. When you open the knife, you hear the tell tale clicking of a reel letting out line as the "Big One" hits the hook.

SOG's® Micron Folders are crafted from high quality stainless steel and designed to be carried on a key ring or in your pocket.

The Bluto™ is a unique addition to the SOG line of folders. From its sweeping blade style to its blue, textured machined aluminum handle, the Bluto is a totally different look that what you are used to in a SOG, but it is just as tough.

The SOG® Flash II, is one of the most popular "Assisted Opening" knives on the market, use the thumb stud to open the blade the first 20% of the way and then it JUMPS the rest of the way. S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) propels the blade out once the operator has initiated the one hand opening action.

As near perfect a rescue knife as you can get, the Bi-Polar Rescue has a 2-3/8" serrated blade on one end and a V-cutter on the other.

The SOG Paratool is the only multi-tool with a multiple angled pliers head capability. The unique, patented way the Paratool opens allows for the ability to operate at a variety of angles (140°-180°), which is very useful in tight spots.

SOG's first folding knife was the Tomcat, and set the standard for the large format lockback. It also won the Blade® Show Overall Knife of the Year® award in 1988. Like the modern day tank, today's Tomcat 3.0 is a hand-filling folder that weighs in at a hefty 6.5 oz.

SOG decided to keep the thick blade stock of the original (a full 1/8"), but stepped up to San Mai steel, a VG-10 core at 59-60 Rc. laminated 420J2 on either side.

SOG® has a reputation of making some of the finest production fixed blade knives in the world. That reputation began with their first knife in the early 1980s, a replica of the original Studies and Observation Group knife secretly developed and used in the Vietnam War by the 5th Special Forces and other elite soldiers.

The Contractor 2x4 is a working theme knife from SOG®. Whether you are a contractor, or a do-it-yourselfer, you will get a chuckle out of the 2x4. Opening or closing the blade rotates the circular saw blade. A hammer head acts as the lock release and the handle houses a pencil sharpener in the butt, a single bubble level, and holes for wire stripping using the edge of the blade.

The Salute is the first Fusion tactical folder from SOG®. From the Bowie style blade to the scalloped full-length steel liners, the Salute is proof that value can still be good looking AND hard working. Features a new SOG innovation, a movable thumb stud so you can tailor the position to your own hands.

This new concept in throwing knives allows precise adjustment of the balance point for more accuracy and helps improve your technique! The Fulcrum knives are styled after traditional throwing knives and perfect for backyard competitions.

The Fatcat is the largest and most massive folder SOG® Specialty Knives has ever produced. Not intended for the main stream, it is designed with heavy work in mind. For its size, it is amazingly light and quick to open.

The name for the original SOG® Vulcan, released in 2007, was inspired by the General Electric M61A1 Vulcan, a six-barrel 20mm Gatling-type cannon which is an integral part of the armament of such modern-day fighters as the F-15, F-16, and the F-18.

This minimalist knife (3/16" thick without the clip) won't take up much room in your wallet or pocket or attached to a ballistic vest. It is also light weight enough to be worn as a neck knife.

From the Manufacturer:

"In the presence of the revised Tigershark series, one's pulse quickens. It is instantly recognized for its signature handguard and defensive rear point, which are removable for a more streamlined look. But it is also familiar as the largest member of the SEAL series with precise grind lines, scalloped back edge, touch point checkering, and superior ergonomics.

The Monogram edition of the SOG Tech Bowie features a deeply acid etched SOG logo pattern over the entire surface of the blade creating an interesting and unique knife.

Introduced in 2007, the Bi-Polar was SOG's first dual assisted knife with twin blades. Using SOG's assisted technology, each blade is propelled into the open position once you start the blade moving. For 2008, SOG has removed the V-Cutter, and added a 2-3/8" fully serrated blade. The perfect rescue knife, whether used by law enforcement, emergency medical personnel or the outdoorsman who needs a knife to quickly handle the many daily predicaments he finds himself in. Dual blades, double lockbars and twin safeties all work to lock the blades closed or double lock the blades open. Includes a hardened steel glass beaker on the end of the handle.

The SOG® Trident™ Folder uses SOG's well-proven S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology™) as a means of opening the blade. With the addition of the Arc-Actuator™, SOG's newest blade release mechanism, the Trident locks stronger and releases easier. There is also a built-in safety to lock the blade closed. Also making the Trident folder unique is the Groove™ in the handle, which allows the operator to cut small cord without having to open the blade. It also features Digi-Grip™, a variable pattern on the handle for a coarser grip.

The finely textured Zytel® handle includes SOG's patented Arc-Lock™, a lanyard hole and SOG's "Low-Carry" clip, which keeps the knife hidden within the pocket. When it's clipped on, only the clip is visible.

With a frame of a standard lockback, and SOG's own SAT assisted technology, the Twitch XL is built for serious business.

The Trident uses S.A.T.™ technology to open the knife, just open the knife about 1/3 of the way and the knife does the rest. There is also a built-in safety to lock the blade in the closed position, when it shows red the knife is ready to be deployed.

The name for the SOG® Vulcan was inspired by the General Electric M61A1 Vulcan, a six-barrel 20mm Gatling-type cannon which is an integral part of the armament of such modern-day fighters as the F-15, F-18, and the F-16.

SOG® Specialty Knives has a long reputation for building knives for serious hard use and supplying knives to elite military forces. The SEAL Team Elite can only enhance that reputation.

The SOG® Kilowatt is a working theme knife designed for the electrician, homeowner, contractor, or anyone who might need to strip wire in a pinch. Three separate systems address wire from fine multi-strand all the way up to cable.

The Team Leader is a different look from SOG. The 5" satin finish blade is flat ground all the way to the top, like a hard working blade should be. There are two versions, one of AUS-8 with the most aggressive saw teeth I have ever seen, and the other from a new American steel produced by Latrobe.

SOG® is replacing their Desert Dagger® with the Daggert which is available in two sizes. Both are weighted and balanced for perfect control.

The SEAL Pup Elite is part of SOG's SEAL family of products. It is a serious hard use knife and continues SOG's® tradition of supplying the world's elite military forces.

While SOG has always been known for the quality of their knives, you will find that these are a step up. In the Arcitech, SOG has combined natural handle materials, Titanium and modern blade steels with super fit and finish to create the highest quality knife.

The Gov-Tac transcends the page. You will have to handle it to appreciate that the "sum" of this knife is so much greater than just its parts. Double precision ground grooves, thumb control ridges, and an extremely thick blade all contribute to this stunning knife.

Based on the Vietnam Tomahawk, the Fusion Tactical Tomahawk is an extreme evolution of the original, which was considered one of the more unusual weapons of its day. Today there is a real need for a versatile tool for breaching operations, excavation, obstacle removal, extraction, and other utility applications.

One can instantly turn the Primitive into a small machete, limb saw or hammer. Includes a Nylon sheath with utility pouch.

SOG's modern battle/throwing ax evokes its origins from medieval times, which some might consider to be the present. Whether used as a target ax, SWAT tool or universal backup; it is very effective. The pike in the back is upswept for better target penetration.

The Powerlocks have all the components you would expect from a multi-tool, and all are easy to access and lock in the open position. The pivoting comfort guards make applying the necessary pressure more comfortable for your hand and enable you to use greater power.

In 2006, SOG® created the Spec-Elite, making use of their proven Arc-Lock. With the attributes knife designers relentlessly search for -- strength, speed, safety, ambidexterity and durability, the Arc-Lock was independently lab tested at over 1000 lbs. of pressure without lock failure, and is self-adjusting for long-term, optimal performance. The spring-action provides fast and smooth one-handed opening, and a positive closing feature ensures that the blade securely stays within the handle when closed. Can be comfortably opened and closed with either hand.

Introducing the newest member of the Topo family from SOG, the Topo Meridian. This is your first view of topographic construction embodied into knife design. We know that you will think it is as stunning as we do, but beauty is not only skin-deep!

SOG Speciality Knives' flagship is a replica of the original knife used by the Vietnam War Era's 5th Special Forces Group known as the Studies and Observation Group (SOG). Secretly developed and used in covert missions, the original SOG knife was a steadfast companion in one of the harshest environments in the world.

SOG® is replacing their Desert Dagger® with the Daggert which is available in two sizes. Both are weighted and balanced for perfect control.

The SOG® Flash series has been one of the most popular "Assisted Opening" knives on the market. When SOG offered us the chance to purchase a very limited special edition of the Flash II in a non-assisted version we jumped on it.

SOG has designed and applied for a patent on their own SAT (SOG Assisted Technology). This mechanism picks up the opening of the blade as soon as the operator has produced the first approximately 20% of the opening by hand. In a "Flash" the knife is completely opened and locked. When the knife is to be closed there is a button on the side controlling the "Piston Lock"; just slide it back and fold the blade back into the handle. For double safety, engage the lock at the back of the handle.

The SOG® Flash and Flash II, two of the most popular "Assisted Opening" knives on the market, use the thumb stud to open the blade the first 20% of the way and then it JUMPS the rest of the way. S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) propels the blade out once the operator has initiated the one hand opening action. Over the past year the Flash, Flash II and the Blink have been available in more common colors, black and gray and thousands have sold.

SOG utilizes their Assisted Technology in several models. This concept in pocket knives will change your idea about lockback knives.

Sized down into a 3-1/2" blade of 1/8" AUS-6 at 55-57 Rc with a gray powder coat. Checkered handle of glass reinforced Zytel®. Black Leather sheath. Made in Japan. Suggested retail $54.95.

An executive sized lockback, the assisted opening mechanism of the Blink works just like SOG's Flash. Once you have initiated the blade opening, S.A.T. propels the blade out and firmly locks it into place. T

The SOG® CrossCut® is a high point in the world of "Personal-Tools". In a world where each entry is larger and more expensive, this new tool is remarkable. This compact package houses ten tools, including gear driven scissors, tweezers, small and medium screwdrivers, bottle opener, nail file and nail cleaner, knife blade, ruler and plastic toothpick.

In my opinion, this is certainly the best looking and the most practical of all past and present Seal Knives.

A reduced version of the SEAL Knife-2000, it has a blade of the same steel, (AUS-6) but is only 5/32" thick and 4-3/4" long, 57-58 Rc. The checkered handle is fiberglass reinforced Zytel®. The sheath is Kydex. Suggested retail $74.95. Weighs 5.5 oz. Made in Japan.

The SOG Tech Bowie is based on the classic SOG Bowie on which the company was built. Spencer Frazer has taken that basic design and changed the blade steel to stainless and the handle material to Kraton® creating a strong work knife.

The original Tomcat was named "Overall Knife of The Year®" at the Blade show in 1988. Spencer Frazer's re-invention of that long favored folder, the Tomcat 3.0 is the heavy duty champ of the folder field.

For SOG's 20th anniversary they have introduced an adaptation of the original SOG Bowie that founded the company. This new large format 7-1/2" blade will stun you with its exacting construction and precise grind lines.

The SOG Trident folders have features that are common to several of SOG's most popular knives. Upon closer inspection, you will find that they have features not normally seen in a folder. The Trident uses S.A.T. technology to open the knife, just open the knife about 1/3 of the way and the knife does the rest.

We know that you will think it is as stunning as we do, but beauty is not only skin-deep! SOG's patent pending Topo construction creates a tactile outer layer using stepped ergonomics that is comfortable, novel, and functional."

Years ago, I was visited by a young man from California who wanted to get into the knife business. He wanted to make a version of one of the SOG knives from the Vietnam war. I took his original and redesigned it, making the handle longer and changing a few lines to make it more attractive. I also gave him directions to the people in Japan who could make a first class knife for him.

Compound leverage has become a SOG patented trademark for folding tools. It provides increased leverage and therefore minimizes the amount of hard pressure required. This mechanical advantage is known mainly in the trades by people who use their tools everyday. Our friends at SOG have expanded their tool business in a reach for the Max tool.

The Pentagon was designed as a back-up for Law Enforcement Officers, it is a combat knife with a plain edge on one side and full serrated edge on the other.
