SOG Bowie

[chuckM]

Im wondering how faithful to the original the SOG vietnam bowie is? who actually manufactured the original ? wasnt in the 5th but i recall at one point that we were supposed to get some knives,thought that they we randalls tho, but they never got to us anyway.

Having never handled an original one, I can't say for certain, but the finger-grooves look deeper. Also it was SK3 rather than SK5 steel.
There have been some threads on this topic. The current SOG Bowie is VERY impressive!

ChuckM: BobbyB is right on. The SOG-K Bowies are a quality product worth ever single cent, well above the rest. They would probably outlast and outwork the Nam era bowies if you had them tested today. (Man, I sound too much like Lynn Thompson already). But you get the picture ;-)

The original VN SOG bowies were made with much less care too, poor QC I understand. This is one reason why there are fewer original Nam era bowies around today.

The SOG Bowie is still my favorite !!

I plan to use it today to do some dinner prep cutting and chopping.... not fancy work, but any old excuse to give it some kind of a workout.

Cheers,
