Is My Seal Team Elite Authentic?

[OldMarineVet]

Purchased a Seal Team Elite direct from Amazon. The inscription on the handle says "SOG" in large letters. The pictures on both SOG and Amazon websites has "SOG Specialty Knives" on handle inscription. Do you know if my knife is authentic? Thank you

It's authentic. There's a review on Amazon questioning the same thing. Amanda, SOG Customer Service, just replied "That is a real SOG, we changed our logo so that is why you're probably seeing different ones not matching up."

I had a similar question about a seal team. Mine said something different than most on the tang. Same thing though. Sometimes SOG just changes things up.
