Waranty not worth the paper it was written on. Apperantly they have been bought by a company galled GSM group. My SOG powerlock needs a little love so i called them up. The original warranty stated that sog of course covers manufacturer defects. They also stated that their lifetime warranty also covered labor and that they would adjust ot and replace any broken tools in it for life. GSM now says they "only have to honor the warranty as it was when it was sold" then refuse to do anything because they say it was "normal wear and tear" and offer a discount on a new tool. So basically, they do NOT honor the original warranty. (And its mot like i wasn't prepared to pay for the broken pieces)

SOG customer service SUCKS! I sent a knife back for warranty repair. The person I was talking to said I just have to send it back and they'd take care of it. We'll, apparently, a new company took over, or something, and when I contacted them about the status of my knife, they told me of I didn't get a return authorization number that they don't have the knife. I asked if they would just throw the package away without it, they said yes when the person that told me to just send it in and I asked if I needed a number and they said NO! So I wouldn't recommend buying SOG products if this is how customer service is now, but that's up to you!???

I've been a SOG knife owner for over 10… I've been a SOG knife owner for over 10 years. From my first Trident to the latest Trident, I have purchased 6 knives, 2 keychains and a tabletop sharpener. All are first rate quality especially the USA made OTS Automatic I bought last year from SMKW in Sevierville, TN. Saving my mad money for their OTF Automatic.

The blade release jammed up inside and… The blade release jammed up inside and the blade would only shut halfway so because I forced it to shut and broke the back out a bit they told me it wouldn't be covered under warranty .the inside malfunctioned I would think that would be a defective knife and they said no can't help you.

I spoke with 4 different customer… I spoke with 4 different customer service people and each one said “we are working on our customer support “. They said it takes 21 business days to refund my money on an item they advertised but didn’t say it would take 4 months to ship. Stay away. There are better companies to buy from. It is going to take a month to get my refund.
