## Description

You feel the difference when you hold a SOG pillar – American-made steel forged into an American-made blade. The pillar is designed to outperform in any tactical, industrial or outdoor situation. Perfect balance and perfect weight are what you get when you provide the best smiths with the best materials and ask them to produce a knife that will make you proud to own it.

Review: OUTSTANDING IN EVERY RESPECT! - This is my 4th purchase of this knife. The three previous went to others. SOG has really hit a grand slam with this knife, and it's definitely my all-time favorite fixed blade. First, the most critical aspect: the steel. CPMS35VN is a high-grade steel ideally suited for blades that will see heavy use. It's strong, durable and easy to sharpen. The linen micarta handle is tough as a Marine Corps drill instructor, and the ergonomics of the handle give you a solid and comfortable grip. Some purchasers have stated that the handle's color often is not black, with gray/black being a common descriptor. When micarta becomes dry, the color can appear to fade a bit. To bring out the full black color, simply apply some oil to the handle with a shaving brush or a small paintbrush and then wipe off the excess with a cotton rag. This will restore the handle to a dark black. The thumb notches atop the spine are robust and feel great, and the solid tang simply adds more strength to an already solid piece. The strike pommel is equally solid, and the lanyard loop is ideally positioned. The blade's cutting edge is uniform and very sharp, and the tip is pointed and strong. The stonewashed finish is equally uniform and looks very nice. The knife feels great in the hand and is easy to wield. Some reviewers have criticized the sheath, but I have found it to be very durable. The knife locks securely into the sheath with an audible click that you can also feel. The belt clip is strong and attaches to the sheath using two supplied screws, both of which have to be placed on the same edge of the sheath, either right or left as you choose. While this might not seem to be the most secure method, it works just fine. I recommend using blue Loc-Tite on the threads to help prevent them from working loose and becoming lost. On top of all these great features is the fact that it is American made, and this means a lot to me. There are many good knives of foreign manufacture on the market, but I did not spend 22 years in a branch of the military to subsidize Asian communists. While physical appearance is always secondary to performance, this is a great-looking knife, and for me the five inch blade is an ideal length. Let's also not forget the SOG lifetime warranty and sharpening service. This knife would be at home in your camp, on your hunting trip, on your web gear, or on your person for everyday carry. I know that some see the price as a negative value factor, but I disagree. Sure, it's not a $30 blade but then it's not meant to be. The Pillar best serves one who wants and needs uncompromising quality. There are many knives out there costing a heck of a lot more that are nowhere near as nice. I feel that value is the sum of an item's quality, practicality, and price. In my opinion, the Pillar is an exceptional value, and I recommend it highly.
Review: A Tale of Two Knives: (1) SOG UF1001-BX Pillar. - If you're in the market for an exceptional tactical/hunting knife in the under $200 dollar range, I found two quite similar & excellent choices. Unhindered by budget, common sense or domestic bliss; I bought both for comparison purposes because even after many years; my knife collection isn't quite complete. First to arrive was the SOG Pillar, which is a brand new knife on the market that not a lot of folks have seen yet. This new offering from SOG is USA made and says so on the right side of the blade. Forged from CPM-S35VN premium stainless steel this a highly durable full tang blade that will resist corrosion while keeping it's edge under harsh conditions. The five inch blade has a scalloped upper spine, with heavy duty jimping at the grip for enhanced retention in wet or bloody conditions. The clip point manages to keep a nice width at the tip for prying or piercing without worry of breaking. I like the contoured beveling on the blade, it gives the knife a distinctive look that is all business. The protruding knurled skull popper on the butt (with lanyard hole) says this is a tactical design, yet one that will also serve hunters quite well. I've seen a man field dress a caribou with the knife blade on his Leatherman tool, which proves you can do that if you are experienced, its just that some knives will be better suited for the task than others. The SOG Pillar's blade has just enough belly on it to be a damn decent skinning blade for any hunter of any game. The canvas micarta handles are very comfortable, and the knife feels natural and balanced in the hand, though it is a tad heavy on the back end. The Pillar comes with a kyndex tactical sheath that utilizes a very tight friction fit to do away with safety straps; rendering the knife instantly accessible no matter how or where you rig it. The sheath is molle compatible, and features an adjustable low profile locking mount. Some might shy away in sticker shock but a knife of this quality is worth every cent, especially when you come to depend upon it over time. This is a really great blade.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has this knife ever been tested for salt water diving exposure? if so, what were the results?**
A: You do not want to use this knife for scuba diving for several reasons. First, it is too big. There is no good reason for a scuba knife to be this big. The fantasy of fighting off a shark underwater comes from the movies, not real life. My scuba knife is 5 inches long, total. It’s small and unobtrusive. Second, it’s too expensive. Buy a cheaper knife for $40, because you’ll either end up losing it to the deep or a shady dive master or customer will steal a nice knife. Third, the clip point tip is all wrong when dealing with high pressure hoses, air bladders, and human skin. In 20 years of diving, I’ve only used my knife once, for cutting a tangle of fishing line

**Q: How thick/wide is the handle? Can someone provide the dimensions of the handle?**
A: Thanks for your question!  Here are the dimensions of the black handle:
Length:  4 1/4"
Width:  1 3/8"
Thickness:  5/8"

**Q: Can the sheath be attached to molle?**
A: Thank you for your question. The sheath can be easily attached to a belt or a strap.

**Q: Dose it come in that packageing from sog?**
A: The one i got came in the SOG's packaging. It seems and feels like a great knife with s35vn steel. The blade is on top of the package and the shealth was under the blade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Blade in need of a better sheath
*by K***T on May 19, 2019*

It’s hard to know where to begin. I have been eyeballing this knife for several weeks due to its perfect size(5 inch blade), its CPM S35VN steel, and attractive blade design. As you might have guessed, I am a knife lover and avid collector, though I tend to shy away from the super pricey ones due to the fact that I would become homeless rather quickly if I purchased all the ones I want. When the price of this one dropped by nearly $40, I was willing to gamble on it since there was no guarantee that the price would remain that low for long. The arrival of the blade was much anticipated and I quickly opened the box upon arrival. I was quite apprehensive about the color of the micarta handle since the product description showed it to be black but several reviews mentioned the coloring to be grey. I was happy to see that for the most part it was black with only a little bit of grey mixed in. The handle feels solid and comfortable, although I have felt better on some less pricey knives. The blade steel is excellent, with a mixture of stonewashed and satin finishing, the look is awesome. The S35VN steel is razor sharp and high quality. As far as the knife itself goes, it’s 5 stars. The sheath, on the other hand, left something to be desired. Despite the fact that it comes with adjustable fittings to accommodate a variety of carrying options, the knife doesn’t snap in place or even sit firmly when sheathed. I found that it wobbled and would probably fall out if carried sideways or blade up. At this price point of a knife normally near $200, I would expect a better quality sheath to match the excellence of the blade. I have included in the provided pictures some of the other knives and sheaths that are of similar size that I have purchased for comparison. None of those blades cost me more than $50. I am still giving this knife a five star rating because the blade is good enough to make up for the shortcomings of the sheath, and it’s easier to find a better sheath at a reasonable price than it is to find such an excellent knife and quality sheath together for a cheaper price. If you’re on the fence about this one, the knife itself is worth it. Just be prepared to find a quality sheath or use the one provided in tip down configuration only as you will not want to drop or lose a knife in this price range.
