SOG Scuba/Demo SSD89

The Scuba/Demo is the rarest of the SOG knives as well as the most rare military knife in existence. In fact, only one is known to exist today. Originally, 39 were made and 38 of these were delivered to the Naval Advisory Detachment for missions on the North Vietnamese coastline. They were issued to OPLAN 34 ALPHA in 1964 at which time 36 were lost in operations and two were never seen again.


SOG is now offering enthusiasts the chance to own an authentic reproduction of this mystical knife. Whatever shortcomings the original had have been vastly improved to make it not only a collector's prize, but also a high-quality, functional knife that one would be proud to own and use.


The SOG Scuba/Demo's 7.25 inch, AUS8 steel blade is a rugged .230 inches thick and is double edged, featuring a unique full-serration along the spine. A stacked leather washer handle that is epoxied together and secured with a beautiful brass pommel with spanner nut surrounds its full tang. An elegant brass crossguard insures a good grip and enhances the excellent overall balance of this incredible knife.


Each SOG Scuba/Demo fixed blade includes a dark leather sheath, sharpening stone and leather lanyard.


Note:Although SOG has reproduced this Vietnam War era knife according to the original specs, use of the SCUBA/Demo as a diving knife will greatly reduce the longevity of the leather washer handle.
