SOG Recon Bowie

SOG SBR 80 Recon Bowie, Seki, Japan

The SOG Recon Bowie, in the view of most SOG collectors, is the most interestingly shaped and sexiest knife that SOG ever produced. The "Vietnam-era Recon Knife" shape is an especially attractive and collectible knife. It has a gun blued 7"blade of SK-5 high carbon steel and a stacked leather handle.

According to old tales, most combat knives had a blade length of around 6 inches. However, fierce close-quarter hand-to-hand combat in Vietnam by the MACVSOG Special Forces soldiers saw them requesting an additional inch of blade for an edge (pun intended) over their enemies. This knife is a must-have in every SOG knife collector's collection. It is one of the SOG knives that feature both the old (square SOG) and new (split-bullet) SOG logos. This is one of the most sought after SOG knives today. Produced only from 2000-2008
