Not very impressive but still interesting to see new releases. I'm not sure what has happened to this company. SOG has made some great iconic knives and can still make a great product but they seem to have lost their focus.

Hopefully this isnt all they have to show...

The SOG Tangle looks pretty useful and interesting!

 

[Random Dan]

At least they're not ripping off Spyderco anymore...

I didnt see a single thing there I liked.
Pretty basic stuff.
Where's the innovation?

The SOG growl is looking an awful lot like the Brous Blades 'Triple Threat'.....

Nice catch. I just did a search and you are right. The resemblance is more than just a bit uncanny...

I just did a little more digging and apparently it is a collaboration between SOG and Brous Blades. This could be a good infusion of talent and designs to SOG.

Oops, I assumed the worst because of SOG's previous track record.
I do agree though that this could be a potentially good collaboration.

That tangles not bad looking.

Not really sure what to make of these new ones, I might take a closer look at the hatchets and possibly that thrower if it's cheap. There's actually several SOG's that I like, even though it's taboo among some the guys around here. Now that it's been rehandled, the USA made Team Leader in Duratech 20cv is a joy to use. And I think everyone should own a Seal Pup.

No their just ripping off Brous Blades now apparently.

 

[BladeChick777]

I like the wood on the Twitch knives...
However... are they going to fix the blade play and accidental openings?

Its a collaboration.. You might want to read the thread.

I was hoping for a Para2 without a choil

As was discussed a little earlier in this thread it is a legitimate collaboration.

Oops late to the game. This video however talks a little bit about the sog situation. And it being odd that SOG says they cant pull off the grind.

Well, they got the "Bad Axe" part right.

 

[BenLong1018]

Okay guys calm down I didn't see it.

It's ok.
Happens to the best of us.
