SOG SEAL Bowie 2.0 Black AUS-8 Clip Point Stacked Leather Fixed Blade Knife S1T-L

Based on a knife used by the Studies and Observations Group of the US Special Forces during the Vietnam War, the original SOG Bowie was the knife that started it all. Offering the traditional SOG Bowie with modern technology and materials, the Bowie 2.0 is a tank of a knife with a nearly 6 mm thick AUS-8 stainless steel blade, stainless steel cross guard and pommel all in a non-reflective black TiNi PVD coating. Unparalleled in quality the Bowie 2.0 pays tribute to the original with classic stacked leather handle finish with precision. A winning choice for users and collectors alike, the Bowie 2.0 is a premium knife with plenty of history.

Brand new, direct from SOG.

Blade: Finished is a stylish yet functional black TiNi PVD coating, the robust Bowie blade is discretely noneffective for use. Made from AUS-8 stainless steel, the blade is nearly 6 mm thick for exceptional durability while the deep hollow ground edge and clip point deliver powerful slicing and piercing ability. A generous ricasso allows for a close grip for controlled work and unimpeded sharpening.

Handle: Both the dual guard and pommel end are stainless steel with a matching black TiNi coating giving the knife a well-balanced feel in the hand and a striking look paired with the stacked leather handle. Through tang construction is durable while offering a clean look and protection against the elements. Contoured for comfort, the leather handles have finger grooves for added security in the grip. A hole in the stainless steel pommel end allows for lanyard attachment.

Carries via a black leather belt sheath with snap retention, utility pouch and sharpening stone.

Japanese AUS-8A Stainless Steel: a low carbon, high chromium stainless steel offers excellent balance of performance: it has good toughness, corrosion resistance and sharpening response with similar edge retention to 440C.
