Dear Heber,
Thank you for scanning and posting the picture of the SOG SEAL REVOLVER, I have been trying to get a scan on the forums for about two weeks and could not find any way to get it on for the people to see. Spencer did a great job on this knife and I think when the people get one, they will see that it is truly a versatile knife for camping and outdoor adventures. I worked on this knife for over three years until I felt I had it perfected enought to go to a quality company like SOG. Spencer and I think it will change the way people feel about the straight knife, at least the potential to have multiple blade change within seconds, all within the same frame of a straight knife that people have used for years. This model should come later on with several different blades to enable the camper or outdoorsman, (or woman) to accomplish many different jobs without ever having to change knives, all kept nice and secure within a kydex sheath. So thank you again, I have not entered the forums yet but have been reading them every day for over three months, I have talked to Bobby B several times,( he seems to be a real nice person) I have not got the nerve to get on yet so I guess I will read for a while longer. this is all very new to me.
Sincerely, Robbie Roberson

Dear Robbie,
You are welcome. It was my pleasure. If you have anymore pics that you want to share, I would be more than happy to post them for you. The knife does look really good. Am glad that you were able to get it into production.
When ever I go camping or hiking, I normally carry a fixed blade or two (SOG Government and a mid sized hunter) along with a folder (Buck 110) and a folding saw. Having both the Mid sized knife and folding saw in the same package would really help cut down on weight.
This model should come later on with several different blades to enable the camper or outdoorsman, (or woman) to accomplish many different jobs without ever having to change knives, all kept nice and secure within a kydex sheath.
Does this mean that you could actually change out the blade, there by using the same handle with different blades?
A drop point hunting style main blade would be sweet. Come to think of it, the current blade would probably do great as a hunting knife. Still, love my drop points though.
You should Join Bladeforums and participate over at the SOG Forum. I bet we would all benifite from your experience.
Heber
P.S. Would you mind if I shared this email with the guys on the SOG Forum? I bet they would all love to hear about your cool knife
