SOG Revolver

[The General]

SOG certainly make some good kit and from an engineering point of view its first class.

However... there is a need for better materials and less 'gimicks' in my opinion. The Revolver was a knife Chris wanted me to review, but I admit I was not interested as I pervieved it to be a 'gimicky' knife. I will admit, I have had second thoughts about that and if I ever see one in use will approach it with an open mind.

8a is a reasonable steel, but a bit past it in the days of S30V and VG10.

I couldn't agree less...

The General, thanks for your reply, and thanks for having an open mind. This knife has been tested in the field many times in the last couple years by many different people. It has been described as being very effective in what it was designed to do.

It is lightweight, but yet will do more (because of saw) than a knife of equal size and weight, in my opinion, this makes things a little easier for me when I prefer to have more for less...........

Thank you all for your input and replies.

Go on...send The General one for BB to review It makes marketing sense!

It sounds like we need a BB style passaround on this one so that all interested parties get a week or so to play/evaluate the tool in question.

Well said that man

I couldn't agree less...

Not going to argue here

 

[Robbie Roberson]

The General, I have an idea, how about I continue using my SOG Revolver and just report back to you on how well it continues to perform ?

Hey, no worries, I am too busy at the moment to look at it any way.

 

[Marts]

Right. Found somewhere to get one for under £40. Tempted to get it after next months pay check is in and do a passaround....

 

[Marts]

In fact just bought it. Will start a new thread about a passaround.

 

[Robbie Roberson]

Marts, gosh, that was fast. Which one did you order ?

SOG knives are always "shaving sharp" out of the box, so take a moment to read the instruction booklet.

The saw is needle sharp also, so pay attention when you rotate the saw blade out, it comes out the top of handle when changing to the saw.

This is a very simple and fast (2 to 3 seconds) knife to operate (once you learn how), just depress the switch and "hold it" depressed until blade is fully rotated into a locked position.

Once it's locked, it stays locked until you depress the release to unlock and rotate. As I say, it is so very simple it will amaze you I think.

I am posting a link to SOG just so you can learn exactly how the knife/switch and blade works. I always put my fingers on top of the blade and push down slowly all the way around until the blade is tucked securely into the handle, then I just reverse this operation.

I wanted to add this to this thread, this is the first Revolver thread started so I thought this should go with it since it is an update on the Revolver news/thread and not the Review thread of the Revolver.

I am a little mixed up sometimes my wife says..................

This just in, probably the biggest hunting club in the USA, "North American Hunting Club" just field tested the Hunter Revolver and gave it a 9.1 out of a possible 10.

I know, the gut hook is not well liked, but there is another model, (SEAL Revolver) no gut hook.

And no, I have not tried the hair and body soap...........yet...
