GBI 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.

GBI bought a brand new SOG Twitch II… I bought a brand new SOG Twitch II pocket knife with the lifetime guarantee. I've owned this knife for 4 years and the assist spring broke making it a manual opening pocket knife. SOG customer service told me because I bought this knife from eBay they will not honor the "lifetime guarantee". Beware of lifetime guarantees from SOG Knives.

GBDon't buy a SOG Don't trust this company, I bought a SOG while in the US. Th equality is questionable, the blades were blunt the file is fake and the pliers mechanism is crunchy. Several tries to contact the company have gotten me nowhere, they don't respond to email or their own contact page. they have been described as "shady " in another review but they have long passed that, they are just trading on the name and taking money for nothing but cheap tat.

GBSOG 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!???
