Hill Knives - S.O.K. (Special Operations Knife)

[wouter1967]

I like to share with you my first (semi)custom knife made by Hill Knives. A Dutch knife makers companie by Father en Son van den Heuvel in Rotterdam. They started making this knife for our Dutch Special Forces in the mid 90'ties after a it had been thoroughly tested. Since 1995 it is in actual use by the Commando's during their missions all over the World. The Army version is with a Ti coated blade and Ranger Green handle and Sheet. Over the last 15 years about a 1000 pieces were made. 300 knives went officialy to the Commando's. Several were also privatly sold to Military employies like for example Marines a.o.


I guess I feel proud to now own this absolutely fantastic out-door knife. Enjoy my pics ;-)
