SOG Knives and Tools, established in 1986 by Spencer Frazer, has gained recognition for its innovative and high-quality products. The company's first product was a fixed blade commemorative knife, and it later introduced its first folding knife, the Tomcat, which earned Blade Magazine's Overall Knife of the Year Award in 1988. SOG continued to expand its product line, venturing into multi-tools with the introduction of the Tool Clip in 1990. Notably, in 1995, Mr. Frazer patented the Compound Leverage multi-tools, which provided SOG tools with significantly enhanced pliers clamping strength and subsequently led to over 50 patents for their unique inventions. Today, SOG Knives and Tools offers a wide range of knives, multi-tools, packs, and gear designed to meet the most rigorous requirements for professional use, outdoor adventures, or daily carry.
