Scuba/Demo®
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.
We are 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.
