Hi, I'm Trevor and I'm here with Chris from SOG knives and SOG's got a lot of cool
products coming out and Chris is going to show us some of the new things, so what do we got
here Chris? Well, we got a couple things going on.
First one we'll talk about is the Slim Jim line of assisted knives.
We've got two sizes, we've got them XL at the regular size. And the cool thing about
these is the size of them, their thickness. Super thin.
You can not, I don't think you can get a knife that's any thinner than that. The other
spectacular thing that you don't really realize by first looking at them,
they're assisted opening.
Pops open, locks in the open position
got a lock bar, lock back, press down,
closes.
So you've got a knife that's a couple millimeter's thick
and it's assisted open. It's assisted opening.
And it comes in an XL.
Which, it's pretty cool
how thin that is, that's awesome. So Slim Jim when are these things going to be
available? Late March/early April, so we're looking at about two/three months.
Very lightweight too. I think they're about 2, two and a half ounces, something like
that. It's ridiculously light. That's awesome. Throw it in your backpack,
forget about it. Liking that.
Probably end up washing it,
leave it in your pants, you'll forget it's there, wash it a few times, it'll make it work better. Yeah, it's
tough, it can take it. Yes.
What do we got here? So the next family we've got here is called the BladeLight Series.
We've got a fixed blade in a folder.
And the name is pretty, kind of gives away the secret of these knives, called BladeLight.
The secret is you've got a little
buton on the back here,
turn it on, you've got an LED flashlight built into the handle of the knife.
This one is about forty lumens,
it's also got a stainless steel knife blade, a nice flat grind, clip point blade,
great for utility work around the campsite or something like that.
Outdoorsman, camping, hunting, perfect. I was talking to a hunter this morning and she was talking about
about how she wants one of these because half the time you're out preparing a deer or whatever and
it gets dark and you have somebody with a flashlight, you get shadows everywhere.
Nice thing is
with this on,
there's no shadow on either side of the blade.
That's nice, a great feature and thinking that through there
that's really nice. Run time's about 4 hours.
40 lumens, retail on this one is at eighty five dollars
it runs on 2 AAA batteries. We have a faceplate is well,
comes with a nice molded plastic sheath,
also got an accessory that comes with an extra battery in there. Runs on a AA
battery.
This is completely, you can take this off if you don't want to keep it on there.
It's got a nice secure locking sheath, the knife slips in there,
locks in,
not going to rattle around.
Also, you've got the button
and the light's
got cut outs the the sheath so the lights show through.
So again you could use it as a little flashlight you wanted to.
Nice one, once again, I like how you put them on both sides so that you have no shadow cast on
there.
You know exactly what you're cutting, you see it all the way through.
It's got a nice thick blade on this one so this is going to be, this will make a great camp
knife.
Say you're out at the campsite and you're making your dinner and all of a sudden you realize it's getting dark
and you haven't finished all of your prep yet
you can chop up your vegetables and you're ready to go.
You don't have to put of those dorky head lamps on, you've got this. I like the name too, BladeLight
they will get you on that.
Exactly. What's the retail on this one going to be about? A hundred and five.
$105? Yep. Are these available now or when are they going to be coming out? These are later in the year,
these are probably second, third quarter so they're going to be summer time.
Allright, so we've got the Slim Jim Series coming out next,
sixty days. So, 60 days?
BladeLight coming out so we've got a lot of,
SOG's coming out with a lot of cool stuff
this is just a small sample of what they're rolling out with,
I have their stuff, been using it a long time,
it has worked for me, I stand behind it. So Chris, thanks for taking a couple minutes
and showing us some stuff. Thanks. Thank you. Have a good afternoon.
