Many people often wonder - where are SOG knives made today? It is indeed an important decision for those planning to buy a SOG knife for use. Some shy away from the Taiwanese models, some prefer to "buy American", while others can't care less about the country of manufacture. Nevertheless, everyone has a different perception on knives with regard to where they are made.. So here's a list on where SOGs are manufactured.
What you can assume:
- Fixed blades -----> Taiwan
- Folding knives -----> Mainly USA; Japan (higher end ones)
- Multitools ------> USA
