Hello guys I was hoping someone could enlighten me I’ve recently gotten myself a dog x42 recondo in bg42 steel satin finish my question is did they all get the signature on the handle s Frazier? Just mine dose not have the signature it’s driving me crazy thinking why has mine not got the signature lol
 
Here's an old review.

 
I’ve through the lot lol it would seem that some of these didn’t get the signature as the second link you’ve giving has the recondo pictures and that knife is identical to mine but with the rc at 62 where as mine is 60 rc and the only other thing I’ve noticed is that the retention straps on my sheath are rubber straps not nylon but all the printed writing is the same I’m still a bit confused over the signature lol
 
I’ve emailed the guy called Ron off that first link you’ve giving me I appreciate your help mate thank you kindly
 
The SOG collectors link has 3 links to other threads, here on BF.

Did you look at those? They might have some more info.
 
Here's another.
 
Yeah I just clicked on the bits that are highlighted and there not alive no more damn super hard to find anything on these knives I’m pretty sure it’s a legit knife I’ve got everything bar the signature and my retention straps are rubber everything else checks out even the lanyard is identical
 
FWIW, I have an X-42 Recondo with the satin finish (RFB81) and one with the black TiNi finish (TRFB82). Each was purchased new almost 20 years ago and neither has a signature on the handle. I believe that both versions were featured at the 2000 Blade Show and it's not hard to speculate that SOG may have had a limited run with Frazier's signature available at that show.
 
Good morning mate
Really glad you’ve told me this It’s put my mind at ease excellent news do your sheathes have the rubber retention straps or the nylon mine has rubber

Mine have kydex sheaths with nylon retention straps. I own (or used to own) other SOG knives with rubber retention straps; I don't know but am guessing that it's a function of when they were made.
 
Thank you mate and again id be lost if you didnt clear the signature thing up for me and one thing i do know is that most folk who got the first recondo with the higher rc say that there blade was rather dull where as mine is very sharp shaved hair off my arm with ease I love this knife I do I also have a sog Vulcan vl50 and a sog tsunami ts01 I bloody cherish them lol
