History of SOG knives

SOG Specialty Knives & Tools LLC, founded in 1986 by Spencer and Gloria Frazer, takes its name from the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam - Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG). This elite unit carried out secret missions during the Vietnam War, including liberating US POWs. SOG knives pay homage to this history, with designs that emphasise functionality and durability.

SOG's first knife was a replica of the original knife used by MACV-SOG. This legendary design laid the foundation for SOG's success. Well-known models like the Seal Pup Elite combine military inspiration with high-quality tool steels, making them both robust and practical. Today, SOG knives are loved by outdoor enthusiasts, military personnel and collectors. The combination of innovative designs and a rich military tradition makes SOG a leading brand within the knife world.

Military knives, above all else, must be functional and durable. This is still in SOG's DNA and can be seen in the steel choice of the blades. Often, SOG uses durable tool steels. Besides military personnel, SOG knives are now also popular amongst outdoor enthusiasts.
