SOG – Tactical, Outdoor and Everyday Carry Tools

SOG Specialty Knives & Tools is an American manufacturer of knives, multi-tools and outdoor equipment, founded in 1986. The brand draws its inspiration from the MACV-SOG special operations unit that operated during the Vietnam War.

SOG products are available in Latvia through Lynxgear.lv (LATLYNX SIA), an official retailer of the brand.

Origin and Heritage

The story of SOG begins with a unique combat knife carried by members of a highly classified U.S. special operations unit. Inspired by this design, founder Spencer Frazer set out to recreate the original SOG Bowie knife as a tribute to those units.

What started as a single commemorative model quickly evolved into a full range of knives and tools designed for real-world use.

SOG products are developed with a strong focus on practical performance. Over the years, the brand has gained recognition among military personnel and professional users, including being selected as a knife supplier for U.S. Navy SEALs.
