Only 39 were made and 38 of these were delivered to the Naval Advisory Detachment for missions on the North Vietnamese Coastline. Using current manufacturing techniques, SOG is now able to create a spectacular reproduction of this ultra rare knife, with a modern twist. Made of AUS-8 steel with an attractive hardcase black TiNi finish, the 7.25-inch dual serrated and straight edge, fixed blade has a spear point shape ideal for slashing and puncturing. The ergonomically contoured and well-balanced handle has a black finish and made of Kraton to fit comfortably in your hand. The synthetic rubber material on the handle provides a no-slip grip with increased heat, wear and chemical resistance. SOG's unique cryogenic heat treatment process results in an overall increase in toughness and heightened wear-resistance. The blade includes a lanyard hole, nylon lanyard and a black leather sheath with a snap closure and belt loop attachment to always keep the Demo safely protected and close to you at all times.

SOG products have also won favor among law enforcement, military and industrial customers that rely on their tools to perform flawlessly in the toughest, most adverse conditions. From the Manufacturer The SCUBA/DEMO is the rarest of the Special Forces SOG knives. In fact, only one original is known to exist today. Originally 39 were made and 38 were delivered to the Naval Advisory Detachment for missions along the North Vietnamese coastline. Of the 38 issued, 36 were lost in operations and the other two were never seen again. Using current manufacturing techniques we are now able to create a spectacular reproduction of this ultra rare knife but modernized as well. This 7.2-Inch straight and partially serrated edge blade is crafted from ultra tough AUS 8 stainless steel. AUS 8 offers a greater edge holding ability and requires less maintenance than entry level grades of steel. The steal is coated with TiNi which is short for Titanium Nitride. TiNi is the best coating that can be applied to steel. Commonly used for black finishes and to increase durability, this finish is known to be both extremely scratch and peel resistant. The rubber Kraton handle provides superior grip, high traction, and sealing abilities along with increased resistance to heat, weathering, and chemicals. A lanyard hole is also provided at the base. The straight edge blade will cut cleanly and can be (if needed) repeatedly sharpened quickly. The knife includes a black leather sheath, which is a classic choice in fixed blade carrying options. There is nothing like the patina of well taken care of aged leather. This knife is backed by a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in manufacturing and materials. Weight: 12.3oz, Blade length: 7.2-Inch x 0.23-Inch, Overall length 11.8-Inch.
