About the original
The SOG KeyTron KT1001-CP is a compact keychain folding knife with a 1.8-inch satin-finished 5Cr15MoV clip-point blade, stainless steel handle scales, a lockback mechanism, and an integrated bottle opener, weighing 1.3 ounces closed. A split-ring attachment point at the pommel carries it on a keyring. SOG was founded in 1986 in Lynnwood, Washington by Spencer and Gloria Frazer, taking its name from the MACV-SOG Studies and Observations Group unit whose Vietnam-era fighting knife became SOG's first reproduction product. The company was acquired by GSM Outdoors in 2021. The Supreme FW18 collab added a Supreme logo to the handle and retailed at $30.
