SOG 1st gen folders

[DrDeath]

Can anyone tell me the names of the 1st gen sog folders- the ones with those massive locks. There was the tomcat but I thought there was one other?
Also were these folders and their locks strong and durable?

I'm thinking the Stingray ??

DrDeath:

SOG Knives with the "massive locks" (aka: 'Negative-Draft Locking Bar System') in the years 1988 to 1991: Tomcat; Stingray; Sogwinder I & II.

Also, there was the SOG Team Leader - a massive SOG folding knife with the "massive lock". However, I have no idea when that knife made it's debut.

By the way, I have a 1st gen Tomcat (S.M. CA.) that I use on at least a weekly basis that has been use to do whatever knives are supposed to do and it is still very strong. The durability is great. Takes a good edge, too!

Not to resurrect an old thread, but what steel is the Sog Stingray made out of? The original one, of course. Not the 2.0

Hello, 68Charger:

"440C Stainless Steel" from what I have read.

Hrm.. Yeah, I'm getting mixed answers. Some say 440A, some say 440C and others say AUS6. I tried asking SOG via Facebook but no avail.

Yep...I know the feeling you get when trying to get intel on SOG products.

Best to you on your search,
