A member of bladeforums.com recently posted images and a description of a knife he believed to be a prototype of the original SOG Trident fixed blade. It turns out it is one of the two prototypes we had made and is a great historical find. Here are some pictures of it for you to drool over.

I am trying to compile a list of apperances of SOG products in various TV shows and movies. Here is the list I have so far. I am sure that there are I items I am missing so if you know of anything please let me know.

Lost – Tigershark

House – Twitch XL

Kill Bill – Desert Daggert

Shooter – Twitch XL

Terminator 2 – SOG Bowie

Battlestar Galactica – SEAL Revolver

Bonus point if you can provide or point to an image of the knife in the TV show or movie.

Update: I have also posted this on bladeforums.com and gotten some good answers to add to the list.

The movie “SOLDIER” with Kurt Russell has at least two SOG’s that I have seen.

Shows Kurt in action with a SOG Seal 2000.

Also, shows Jason Scott Lee in action with a SOG Pentagon in the final one-on-one fight scene with Kurt.

SOG History

I was doing some cleaning up in the office the other day and came across a back issue of Fighting Knives from 1991. The publication is now out of business but there are some great articles in the back issues. The one that I found has a really in depth article about the CISO/SOG knives designed by Ben Baker. (Link goes to a 6 MB PDF file)

I thought that this might be of interest to everyone so I have scanned it and uploaded the pdf. If you would like to read the article please download the pdf (6 MB).

If anyone has any more resources that they would like to share please do as I am trying to create an archive and collect as much info as possible.

SOG Bowie Origins

Came across a great list of the original SOG knives that were procured for the Studies and Observation Group during the Vietnam war. Many of these knives are the inspiration for SOG Specialty Knives and the direct influence for the SOG Bowie Commemorative. Actually, it is manufactured in one of the same factories as the Vietnam era knives. our version has some slight changes from the original but we tired to keep the spirit alive on our version.

So take a moment and look through the descriptions and images of the SOG knives on the Military Fighting Knives website.
