I have searched the forums as well as essentially the entire internet and aside from a few pictures (all of which show the exact same Tiger Stripe Pattern), I cannot find a plain edge Seal Pup or Seal Pup Elite for sale anywhere.

So, my question would be, do, or did, they exist? I cannot find them on Sog's site at all. Just wondering if the picture that appears everywhere of a plain edge (right next to a description that reads "combo-edge" or "partially-serrated") is either of a one-off prototype or a much older knife that is no longer produced.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Am I just chasing a ghost?

Thanks much,

Bruce

Just so I'm clear. Are you talking about knives like these?

Stripes yes (although the striping pattern is more detailed on some Pups/Pup Elites), blade no. I'm looking for a blade that has no serrations. They make a Satin fine edge and a Black fine edge, both of which I have found. There are even two listings on Amazon with a picture of a fine edge, tiger stripe Pup Elite. It's the very first picture, but the other pictures for the item show serrations and the description states that the blade is partially serrated. I contacted one of the sellers and he said he does not have a fine edge, tiger stripe, but didn't have any further information.
 
I believe you, I've been looking for weeks. My curiosity comes in when there are several pictures of a full fine edge, tiger stripe Pup Elite on at least two Amazon listings as well as elsewhere on the internet. (I posted two links and that post has been removed, I must have missed a posting rule). I'm well aware of Photoshop, lol, but these are real photos of a real knife. Whether it was a one-off prototype, a future product, or a cancelled product that had pictures leaked, I have no idea, but if you search Amazon for "seal pup elite tiger stripe" you'll see two items where the first picture is a full fine edge, tiger stripe Pup Elite.

Assuming these links work, the very first picture in both of two separate listings show the knife I'm looking for, which...doesn't appear to exist...

One link even has multiple pictures of it, although the back picture is crappy and the picture of just the blade could be an edited version of the whole knife picture.
 
I recommend you email Chris (marketing@sog.com) for a definitive answer. He is the moderator of this forum and all things SOG.
 
Will do, appreciate the suggestion...I don't think I'm hallucinating those pictures nor do they appear to be digitally created/modified, so I'm at a loss...

Thanks again,

Bruce
 
SOG produced some limited special orders of plain-edge, Tiger Stripe Seal Pup Elites, per Chris at SOG. I'm trying to find out what the cost would be for an order. If anyone is interested, I'll post back when/if it's a possibility. Thanks again...
