SOG Issues a Pair of 30th Anniversary Knives

Saturday, January 16th, 2016

Limited number of commemorative Tech Bowies and Tridents will be available                                                                                                                                                                               ?
Lynnwood, WA. – SOG® Specialty Knives and Tools will kick off 2016 by celebrating its 30th anniversary, and as part of the salute to three decades of producing some of the world’s most used knives and tools, SOG will be issuing special commemorative editions of two of its most iconic knives.

SOG’s commemorative fixed-blade offering is the Tech Bowie, a 6.4”-inch bladed beast of a knife with an easy gripping Kraton rubber handle. Made with AUS-8 steel, the sleek lines of the Tech Bowie harken back to the original SOG knife used by U.S. special operation forces in the jungles of Vietnam. Retail price for the special edition Tech Bowie is $280.

  

 The tried-and-true Trident will be SOG’s folding version of its commemorative knife. Featuring SOG’s patented SOG Assisted Technology for a quick and smooth opening, a 3.75-inch AUS-8 steel blade and a seatbelt cutter built into the handle, the Trident has gained legions of fans for its versatility and practical applications. Retail price for the special edition Trident is $216.

  

 Both special edition knives feature tiger stripe camouflage pattern on the blades – an homage to the camouflage pattern used by the MACV-SOG group. Each blade has the pattern etched and engraved giving a multi-layered design that is both visual and tactile. In addition, knives are numbered, engraved with 30th anniversary logo, and have both the current and original SOG logos. Each knife comes in a wood presentation/display box with commemorative patch, challenge coin, and certificate signed by SOG founder Spencer Frazer.

There will be a production run of just 300 for both commemorative knives and they will only be available at www.sogknives.com and select retailers beginning in February 2016. 

““The Tech Bowie and Trident have consistently been among our most popular knives,” said Nando Zucchi, SOG’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “It makes sense to put this anniversary twist on two of our exemplary favorites.”

Frazer began SOG in 1986 by selling a replica version of the Japanese Bowie Knife used by an elite Special Forces military group from the Vietnam era – the Studies and Observation Group. That one knife, first advertised in Soldier of Fortune magazine, launched a company that now produces the favorite models of specialty knives and tools used by the military, law enforcement, industrial tradesmen and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide. As SOG turns 30 in 2016, SOG brings to the market new offerings in knives, multi tools and tactical transport packs.

“It’s amazing to see how SOG has grown from its humble start 30 years ago,” said Frazer. “My goal in the beginning was simply to produce quality products that honored their military history. It still is, and I never would have dreamt that SOG would become what it is today – a brand synonymous with high end men’s gear and distributed throughout the world. It’s thanks to our customers that made this possible.”
