For their first Fusion tactical folding knife SOG wanted something that was progressive, and performance driven. The Salute is an acknowledgment that great design can still be affordable with a little perseverance. Take the machined G10 handles in combination with scalloped full-length steel liners for a whole new look. Add a big lockback, smooth as silk operation, and a proven Bowie style blade. For good measure, throw in their patent-pending new invention- a movable thumb stud so you can tailor the position to your own hands. they didn't forget to incorporate their trademark low carry bayonet clip either. The Salute pocket knife lives up to its name and is worthy of carry on any front in the world... including your back yard.
