The original SOG Bowie that founded our company was based on a knife used by the Studies and Observation Group of the US Special Forces and other elite soldiers in the Vietnam War. The SOG Bowie 2.0 has combined the traditional SOG Bowie with modern technology and materials. As a top-notch working knife, it benefits form hardcased black TiNi coatings and AUS-8 steel. The SOG Bowie 2.0 has become a classic that is unparalleled in quality. The sculpted crossguard, deep hollow grinds and precision detailing, and faceted tip are unmistakable signatures.
