Story on my SOG Crossgrip

Hey, Ron, I saw your story about having your Crosscut seized at an airport. That is a bummer. I carry one on my keychain always, except when I am going into a court or some other type of place that might get concerned about such an item. Never had an airport problem, though.

The other night, I went to a presentation on Native American Astronomy that was being given by a friend at the Einstein Planetarium in the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum down on the Mall in Washington, DC. If you have never been to the Air & Space, you really should go; you could spend a week in there and not adequately cover it all. When I left, I apparently dropped my belt pouch which contained, among other things, a SOG Crossgrip. I carry it there since I need it less often than the scissors. When I called the security desk on the next day, the guard said that they had the pouch and that they were very interested in that neat little tool in it. When I got down to pick it up, I showed them my Crosscut, and gave them the names and e-addresses of one or two places that sell them. I did point out that they were not the least expensive items out there because they were very well made of quality materials. I have no idea if the guards have or will actually buy any, but they certainly were interested.

Hi Hugh,

You are one of our many salesmen in the field. People start to play with these tools and they just have to have one!

Ron, I know in my gut your story is true, but holy cow, can airport security get any more ridiculous?

I just received a SOG CrossCut as a birthday gift, and my first thought was, here's a tool that airport security can't possibly have a problem with. What did they say their beef was? Don't tell me: "It looks scary." Those people need a trip to the woodshed.

FullerH,

May I ask what other goodies your belt pouch contains? My curiosity has been piqued.

Craig
