After launching the company with the authentic replica of the Vietnam Era Studies and Observation Group bowie knife, SOG Specialty Knives and Tools, Inc., now the leading manufacturer of high-end fixed blades, folding knives and multipurpose tools, has revived another Special Forces classicùthe Recon Bowie. A genuine replica of the first knife procured for Special Forces Personnel in the Vietnam War, the SOG Recon Bowie is truly a work of art.
The original Recon Bowie was secretly designed for SOGÆs clandestine and cross-border Recon Teams that saw vicious, close-quarter combat. Today, there are only a handful of these extremely rare and valuable knives remaining. An exquisite design of the highest-caliber, the SOG Recon Bowie captures the essence of this positively unique fixed blade.
Distinctive, elongated grind lines abound on the SOG Recon BowieÆs blade. Like the original, it is created with the same high-carbon, SK-5 steel and gun-blued for rust inhibition and stealth. The brass crossguard and pommel enhance its magnificent beauty and utilitarian design while an expertly fitted, epoxied leather handle and spanner nut provide excellent balance and feel. The SOG Recon BowieÆs high-quality leather scabbard and lanyard further add to its authenticity, making this classic blade a useful and stunning knife to own and carry.
