===The SOG Knife===
===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<ref>hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 55-57</ref>. 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.
