Help identifying this beauty please

[judgefnmueller]

Hello my fellow SOG addicts,

I have had good luck lately in relation to me obtaining my some of the knife models I’ve always dreamed of a la the Tigershark Elite equipped with removable d guard and pommel.

Last week, as part of a trade between ‘knife nuts,’ I received this Badass SOG model knife along with it’s original sheath. However I cannot identify the model of it as it has characteristics of the Seal Team, Seal Team 2000, Seal team elite, and on and on.

The most compelling features are the non serrated edge, the lack of branding on handle, and the original overall coloring of the blade, all prove to keep me from positively identifying This beast.

Any ideas or input.? I did notice the logo on the blade is the older or original Boxed in logo, as well as it being manufactured in Seki, Japan.

any information or help period is greatly appreciated

thank you,
Judge

it doesn't appear to be a fake

it looks like an early sog seal 2000.
with its partial serrations grounded off
early ones had the distinctive double
snap button retention strap system
for its nylon sheath.

Yup. Seal 2000 with serrations ground off. I had one with that sheath.
