SOG History
There are really two histories to SOG Knives. The first history stems from a convert operations task force called the Studies and Observations Group, which needed new tactical equipment to handle stealth missions in the harsh east Asian landscape. Among many specialized tools, the group invented a new tactical knife to meet the qualifications of jungle warfare. In the late 1980s, entrepreneur Spencer Frazer founded a company to continue the legacy of the original SOG bowie knife, which spawned numerous quality knives, branching out into hundreds of styles of knives and tools today.

The SOG Knife
The SOG Knife was originally designed by Benjamin Baker, the Deputy Chief of the U.S. Counterinsurgency Support Office (CISO). A chrome-moly steel known as SKS-3 was chosen for the blade and hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 55-57. The blade pattern featured a convex false edge on the clip point of a Bowie knife. The stacked leather handle was inspired by a Marbles Gladstone Skinng Knife made in the 1920's owned by Baker, into which finger grooves were molded. The blade was typically parkerized or blackened to reduce glare. This was done so by applying a dark gun-blue finish (similar to those used on guns) on this carbon steel knife. The knife was carried in a leather sheath which also contained a sharpening steel or whetstone. Today, the SOG Tech Bowie model S10B continues to define the SOG company with good materials, great looks, and workhorse practicality. [1]
The Modern SOG Company
In the spirit of the elite SOG group, Spencer Frazer founded SOG Specialty Knives and Tools in 1986. As a math and science major out of UCLA, Spencer was deeply interested in the way materials functioned to provide the best possible uses. After success in the professional audio industry, Spencer founded his SOG company to make the best SOG inspired bowie knife available. Today, SOG has expanded to provides quality knives to Law enforcement, military, and industrial customers, as well as outdoors enthusiasts wanting a wide range of quality knives and tools.
