SOG Tech Bowie Black AUS-8 Clip Point Black Kraton Fixed Blade Knife S10B-K

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 Tech Bowie pays tribute to the original with the timeless design while upgrading the handle to a durable, weatherproof Kraton polymer. With plenty of history, the Tech Bowie is a premium, modern knife ready for serious use.

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 low-profile look paired with the black Kraton 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 and diamond checkering for a secure grip even when wet. A hole in the stainless steel pommel end allows for lanyard attachment.

Carries via a black Kydex belt sheath removable drop loop and snap retention.

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.
