SOG Pillar Fixed Blade Knife Review | Made In The USA
NTC Reviews
Reviews with images
Just the knife I was looking for.
I wanted a fixed blade knife primarily for camping but one that could also be used for self defense. After researching and reading numerous online reviews, I narrowed my search down to two SOG knives - the Seal Pup Elite and the Pillar. I chose the more expensive Pillar because it has full tang construction, is made from S35V steel, was available in a satin finish and it is made in the USA. Once delivered I found it’s the perfect size and weight for me, feels balanced in the hand and like other reviewers stated was extremely sharp out of the box. I have to admit I was reluctant to purchase from an Amazon third party vendor. But, after carefully examining the knife and packaging - I’m certain that what I received is a genuine SOG product. More than one reviewer made negative comments about the sheath. I found it to be a quality build that holds the knife very securely. Attached is a photo of the sheathed knife clipped to my backpack. This photo is included primarily to show the size/scale of the knife. I doubt I would ever carry it attached to my pack’s shoulder strap.

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.

Fantastic Blade in need of a better sheath
Reviewed in the United States 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.Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019
