===The SOG Knife===
The SOG Knife was designed by Benjamin Baker, the Deputy Chief of the U.S. Counterinsurgency Support Office (CISO).<ref name = "Baker">{{cite journal | last = Baker| first = Ben | title = Saga of the CISO/SOG Recon Knife | journal = Fighting Knives| volume = 1 | issue = 3| pages = 95-98 | date = 1991 }}</ref> A chrome-moly steel known as SKS-3 was chosen for the blade and hardened to a [Rockwell hardness of 55-57.<ref name = "Baker"/> The blade pattern featured a convex false edge on the clip point of a [[Bowie knife]].<ref name="Pacella"/> 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.<ref name = "Baker"/><ref name="Pacella"/> The blade was typically parkerized or blackened to reduce glare.<ref name="Pacella"/> 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.<ref name="Pacella"/>
The first contract was awarded to Japanese manufacturer Yogi Shokai for 1,300 seven-inch bladesdesignated "Knife, indigenous, RECON, 7", w/scabbard & whetstone" at $9.85 each.<ref name = "Baker"/> In 1966, SOG ordered 1,200 sterile knives with six-inch blades and black sheaths and in March of the following year an additional lot of 3,700 was ordered.<ref name = "Baker"/> This second lot was serial numbered for accountability purposes and was designated "Knife, indigenous, hunting, 6", w/black sheath and whetstone".<ref name = "Baker"/>
In the 1980's a company named SOG Specialty Knives manufactured a knife very similar to the original SOG knife in Seki City, Japan and marked it with the US Army Special Forces Crest.<ref name="Pacella"/>, and named it the "S1 Bowie". The other Vietnam replica knife is known as the "Recon Bowie" by SOG and both knives are manufactured to the same specifications and in the same factory as the original Vietnam-era knives. The last replica knife is the "SCUBA/Demo".
They also made a version with a stainless steel blade and micarta in commemoration of the U.S. Navy SEALs.<ref name="Pacella"/>, known as the "SOG Trident". Replicas of the SOG knife have also been made by [[Al Mar Knives]], [[Ek Knives]], and [[Strider Knives]].<ref name="Pacella"/> None of these knives, however, are currently used by any branch of the US Military in an official capacity. Original models are valuable collector's items among both knife collectors and militaria collectors.
===The SOG Specialty Knives and Tools Company===
It was in the spirit of this elite group, and the quality equipment they commissioned, that SOG Specialty Knives and Tools was founded in 1986 by Spencer Frazer.
