Description If you happen across an original 1960s era SOG Bowie knife and want to buy it, expect to fork over at least $1000 plus. That's because that combat knife is limited in number and had such a interesting life in combat with the Studies and Observation Group (SOG) in Vietnam. The SOG Knife Company's success and expansion came out of their quality re-creation and marketing of this blade. This SOG Tech Bowie is a modern and worthy successor to the original. With AUS8 steel, beautiful and effective TiAIN coating, Kraton grip, hammering pommel, good balance, reasonable weight, and excellent Kydex sheath, the Tech Bowie is a ready and willing combat knife. And if combat isn't on the menu it will make an equally good woods or hunting companion. For its reasonable cost, quality execution, and maxed out cool factor, this SOG knife is a good buy./////////////Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 9 of 10 (price considered)
