doea anyone know the name of this sog knife and the type steel? It is about 15 years old, the blade is blued, so does that mean it is carbon steel not stainles? the blade is marked
sog specialty knives edm. wa. and seki japan on the other side
customer service from sog said the steel may be 440a, is that stainless?

it is a night tech with O! steel, any comments on that type steel? Jesse at the factory was kind enough to track down the type steel for me, here is his reply


Sorry for the delay, no one here knew about this knife so I had to ask
around quite a bit and I finally received some answers. So the knife you
have is called a Nite Tech which at the time was the gun blued version
of the SEAL Knife but your knife has O1 Carbon Steel. Instead of 440A
which the SEAL knife featured throughout the 90's.

I'm certainly confused. I would have guessed the knife to be a NiteTech, but the steel would be SK-5.

Has Mr. SOG ever specified O1 tool steel for any of his knives ??

Cheers,

Carl
