Hi...


SOG has come out with an interesting small tool...their SHo3. It has a flat diamond sharpening pad, a cylindrical sharpener, and a ferrocerium fire starting rod.

It's a bit on the small side, but appears to be useful never-the-less.

Looks handy, P1.

I just read some reviews and watched a Youtube demo of it, and a long list of "buy it now" came up. The list price is 12 bucks, but the totals were all about double that after taxes, shipping and handling. So I probly won't get one unless I see it in a store for close to list.

Well now that's interesting. There's a Lowe's only about 60 miles from me.

I sure wish SOG would make the Toolclip and Micro-toolclip again.

Parker, do a dealer search for your area, there may be more of them around.

Hi..


SOG's web site quoted $29.00 for them, I think. If you can get them for considerably less, that sounds like quite a bargain...!!

Wow. I'll be hard pressed to justify that price for what it is, since I already have diamond stones and ceramic rods.

Hi...


I took another look at their site and see that the price is actually around $20.00.

Just bought one on Amazon for $13 w/ free shipping. I don't know whether the free shipping is available to everyone as I'm an Amazon Prime member.

List was $20 on the SOG website.

It's not tripping my trigger, think I can find other things I'd rather carry.
