 ABOUT SOG

Our story begins in Vietnam, where members of a highly classified US special ops unit - known as MACV-SOG - carried a unique combat knife into the jungle on covert missions.
In 1986, that knife inspired a young designer, named Spencer Frazer, to found SOG Specialty Knives.
His mission: to reproduce the original SOG Bowie knife and pay tribute to the special ops unit that created it.
What began as a single commemorative model soon becQame a full line of innovative tools - field-proven by US Special Forces, even honored as the Navy SEAL knife of choice.
Today, SOG knives are carried with confidence into the most demanding situations. Honed for you.
