SOG tantos

[sog]

Are all SOG tantos chisel ground all the way to the primary point?

I had mine ground to 16 degrees removing the serrations between the choil and the seconday point and the plain edge between the secondary and primary point.

The way it was ground at the factory was uneven and after it was ground and sharpened the bevel was evened up on both sides as best as is reasonable. It was still not the same all the way on both sides and the edge was in the middle most of the way but in the primary point the edge is still kind of over to where the chisel edge side was.

Has anyone else had problems regrinding a SOG tanto?

If there was a quality issue with the factory supplied grind, can I ask why you didn't contact SOG about it? Their customer service department has an excellent reputation, according to people here.

If you're happy with the way it is now, that's a good thing! Because unless I'm mistaken, totally re-grinding the knife falls under "alterations of the product" which voids its warranty.

This guarantee is voided (as determined by SOG) by misuse, abuse, improper maintenance, or alterations of the product

It does not void the warranty if done by a professional. It is a case by case basis as far as the blade is concerned.

I am interested in whom may know if all of SOGs tantos are chisel ground (all the way to the primary point) . If you have a SOG tanto folder of fixed I'd be interested in knowing about the grind. Thanks

I dont know if they all do, but my vision does. Its a real nice cut. I checked it last night to be sure.

I'd like to know why SOG went the cheap route with chisel grind all the way on the partially serrated tantos? (I think it is to make up for the extra expense to put a serrated edge on the blade) I can't get a good razor sharp edge on them like my double bevel knives.

That leads to another question. Does SOG use full chisel grind on all their partially serrated knives?

I am a die-hard fan of SOG knives (I guess that isn't too hard to see) but I like "constructive" criticism (both ways).
