SOG SCUBA DEMO Knife
The SOG SCUBA DEMO knife is a reproduction of one of the rarest and most iconic military knives from the Vietnam War era. Originally, only 39 of the true “SCUBA/Demo” knives were made for the Naval Advisory Detachment for missions along the North Vietnamese coastline, and only one original is known to exist today, making it extremely rare and collectible.
SOG Specialty Knives later produced modernized reproductions of this legendary knife, aiming to replicate the original as closely as possible while incorporating modern materials and manufacturing techniques.
Historical Significance:
- Vietnam War Origin: The original SCUBA/Demo knife was designed for covert operations during the Vietnam War, particularly for the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG).
- Extreme Rarity: Out of the initial 39 original knives, 38 were lost in operations, leaving only one known original in existence. This makes the authentic SCUBA/Demo knife incredibly valuable to collectors.
- Purpose-Built Design: It was designed as a diving knife with a straight edge for cutting and a serrated edge for sawing through thick ropes, reflecting its intended use in special operations.
Key Features of the SOG Reproduction (Models like SSD-01 or SSD89):
- Overall Length: Typically around 11.75″ to 12.25″
- Blade Length: Approximately 7.25″ to 7.75″
- Blade Steel: Often AUS-8 or AUS-8A stainless steel, known for good edge retention and corrosion resistance, suitable for a “scuba” knife.
- Blade Style: Spear point, with a symmetrical shape for improved penetration and tip strength.
- Blade Finish: Often black TiNi (titanium nitride) coating for reduced glare and added durability, or a satin finish.
- Edge Type: Usually a combination edge, with a straight (plain) edge on one side and serrations (sawback teeth) on the other. Note that the area forward of the serrations to the tip is typically not sharpened to avoid it being classified as a dagger in some regions.
- Blade Thickness: Around 0.23″
- Hardness: Rockwell Hardness (RC) of 57-58.
- Handle Material:
-
- Kraton: Many reproductions feature a non-slip synthetic rubber handle.
- Stacked Leather: Some reproductions, particularly earlier or more “vintage” ones (like the SSD89), aimed to replicate the original’s epoxied stacked leather handle with brass guards and pommels, giving them a classic “Vietnam era” look.
-
- Sheath: Typically comes with a leather sheath, sometimes including a sharpening stone.
- Weight: Around 12.2 oz to 13.0 oz.
- Country of Origin: Reproductions have been manufactured in various locations, including Japan (Seki City) in earlier runs and later in Taiwan.
The SOG SCUBA DEMO knife is highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and its faithful reproduction of a truly rare military blade.
