Rarest SOG folder

There's a knife exchange sub forum here I would recommend posting things you want to sell there.
 
I'm new to this site so I'm learning. But I do appreciate the information. I will check out the exchange site tomorrow. I'm getting tired and need to sleep.. Thanks for the heads up.

Hello I am new to this site and I want to share a very rare SOG folder I refer to it as the Unicorn of SOG knives. It is the original Team leader and only approximately 350 were ever made. I bought the knife back in I believe 1988 it had been a trade in at a gun shop in San Leandro CA. called Traders. I contacted SOG specialties at the time and was informed they were already rare so I put the knife away in my vault and that's where it has sat for almost 40 years. I would grade it as excellent as it has never been used or sharpened. It has been handled though but not much. Thanks 👍

Do you have the satin one by any chance?

Is yours satin or gun blued?

Hmmph... understand why they are so expensive now, apparently you cornered the market... :)

My collection is just a spit in the ocean ... many many many more still out there. You rarely see them here. The bay sellers think they have gold and ask premium prices for them - after they hold onto them a year they finally come to their senses.

The OP's knife looks like a derivative of the original SOG Tomcat

Tomcat has pretty nice design / appearance .

OP's looks like a reject prototype, or something gone terrible wrong with matching a blade to that big bolster handle .

yep, that way oversized handle looks odd to me even with the big blade. almost comical in a bad way.......cool piece of cutlery history though, but not something id want to carry or use daily.
