I recently purchased a SOG SEAL XR… I recently purchased a SOG SEAL XR fixed knife from SOG. The knife is excellent and it would hold up in a combat situation. The sheath is another matter all together. SOG's kydex sheath's are made in China. If the sheath is inferior in quality to what it carries, then it will fail under stress. If SOG is going to advertise their knives are made in the United States then they should also convey their sheath's are made in a communist country; a country that makes inferior products! Your selling your knives to active duty personnel, veterans, etc... For a $300.00 knife you would think everything would be of the highest quality. Not a company saving a few dollars on a sheath because their cheaper to make in a communist country. Those dollars your saving could lead up to the sheath failing when a veteran or police officer needs it the most! The customer service for SOG is not great either. I waited for a call back for 2.5 hours. They have no problem with taking your money immediately, but the return policy is time consuming and you have to pay to return their knive's and piece of s..t sheath's. I give SOG customer service and their products 0 stars. Thomas Eddings Retired USMC Martial artist 45 years.

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.

Today just found out Today just found out The warranty from sog is not lifetime...you can check sog website...and there say they have lifetime warranty....lol That's a totally joke... I have some problem with a sog trident and powerpint Costumer service from this company is pretty bad...don't care about Costumer service... Was fan of this brand for years Now...idk This not good Costumer service I think I'm going to stay with gerber... Gerber Costumer service is top notch...

DO NOT give this company your money DO NOT give this company your money. They do not offer a repair or parts service whatsoever. I have a SOG Tac model that I bought online and have had for a few years and the internal spring broke. The blade and handle still in near perfect condition I figured I would simply order a spring for it. Wrong. According to SOG I just have myself a nice $150 wall ornament now. They told me they do not offer parts or repair service. After many complaints through email the best they could do was offer me a measly 30% off my next purchase. No thanks. I will not give this company another cent. Benchmade would have sent new springs no questions asked. Lord knows there's a million of them sitting on the manufacturing line. This company is not the same since it was bought out by another outfit.

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.
