(SOG- SSD89)
Scuba/Demo The Scuba/Demo is the rarest
of the SOG knives as well as the most rare military knife in
existence. In fact, only one is known to exist today. Originally,
39 were made and 38 of these were delivered to the Naval Advisory
Detachment for missions on the North Vietnamese coastline. They
then were issued to OPLAN 37 AlPHA in 1964 at which time 36 were
lost in operations and two were never seen again.
SOG is now offering enthusiasts the chance
to own an authentic reproduction of this mystical knife. Whatever
shortcomings the original had have been vastly improved to make
it not only a collector’s prize, but also a high-quality,
functional knife that one would be proud to own and use.
The SOG Scuba/Demo’s 7.25 inch, AUS-8A
steel blade is a rugged .230 inches thick and is double edged,
featuring a unique full-serration along the spine. A stacked
leather washer handle that is epoxied together and secured with
a beautiful brass pommel with spanner nut surrounds its full
tang. An elegant brass crossguard insures a good grip and enhances
the excellent overall balance of this incredible knife. |
