What on earth are SOG thinking?

[The General]

Before all the usual "if you don't like it or think its too expensive, don't buy it" comments flood in, take a look at this knife.

Ahem... not the best looking knife in the world, but $575 for a knife like this? Even a Sebby is not that price and I bet the Sebby is a heck of a lot more bang for your buck than this thing. That the first time I would ever call a Sebby value for money!

You could get a hand made custom from one of the big boys for that kind of money and for a little more something really really special.

The mind boggles.:S :rolleyes:

Does anyone here actually like the look of this knife?

The only SOG's I really like are the bowie's they make and those are quite overpriced as well. In my humble opinion anyway.:(

whispery voice if you build it they will come if you build it they will come


But at $575 dollars I would want James Earl Jones hand delivering it to me

[Simon G]

To me it has the look of "Tactical, Practical, Ninja Death, Slayer, Buffy" knife... Made in China £5.75....

Not my cup of tea at all. And for that sort of money, if only I had it, I'd be straight to the door of Mr Lightfoot!

[lilzee]

well, they do say it has been exposed to high intensityy radiation..... and with gas prices like they are now.... :rolleyes:

[thomas]

Thats nice for a SOG knife.
Not that i would buy it.

[Martyn]

I dont think it's too bad, does look like a typical $30 dollar knife though.

[ZDP-189]

Methinks they have made a decimal place error. They make sharp stuff for sure, but nothing that I'd pay over a hundred quid for.

[Ropeman]

The Fatcat is like our Tomcat after exposure to high levels of radiation

So, dead then?

Not terrible but it's worth maybe $200, the TiNi coating is two tone, after all.

No, you can't tell if it's a Fatcat or a Tomcat until you take it out of the box...

[spooky]

Its not so bad, but $575 is crazy. $57.50 and I might be tempted:ashamed01

[Noddy]

I wouldn't mind a go of it.

[mcleod1518]

I like it very much, But i dont like it enough to spend that kind of cash on. I would imagine there is a mistake in the pricing.:)

[fluffy]

Either way it should be sterile.
That knife certainly isn't :yuck:

[Andy]

The Tomcat is $230 which already seemed a bit steep

I could picture this knife in a More Proof DVD

[robbi]

i like it but not at that price

Munting.

Rep for getting a Schodinger joke in! :D

And it's ugly...:yuck:

[gorilla]

i like it - not so keen on the 'Norman Bates stabby-stabby' shot-in-hand in the link!

[chewie]

is that arc lock what it looks like - a close-to-the-wind rip-off of the axis lock?

[Andy]

I think Sog and Benchmade had a legal fight over that

[mcleod1518]

VG10 blade, and $575 Mmmmm not a bargain then. Cold Steel have been putting mad prices on some of their knives recently, Is it a factory trend or something.
" The new Spyderco urban $750":D

Reference to the film Sneakers, just in case you haven't seen it!

[ciderlion]

Found that cheaper elsewhere even though it isnt released yet :huh:
