SOG 5th Special Forces S1: The Legendary Blade That Defined an Era
A Combat Icon Forged for the Field
The SOG 5th Special Forces S1 Bowie isn’t just a knife—it’s a legacy. The first production blade from SOG Specialty Knives Inc., this masterpiece is a near-exact replica of the weapon carried by MACV-SOG operatives in Vietnam. Built for covert missions, its gun-blued SK-5 carbon steel blade gleams with a deep, rich hue, a finish that protects against corrosion while adding undeniable aesthetic appeal.
Precision Craftsmanship, Battle-Tested Design
Every detail of the S1 Bowie reflects its combat heritage. The faceted tip reinforces the blade’s strength, ensuring it penetrates with precision. A stacked leather washer handle, epoxied for durability, provides a secure, comfortable grip. Engravings tell its story—square SOG logo, MACV-SOG emblem, and the proud "Vietnam 5th Special Forces Group" marking, all etched with historical accuracy.
A Collector’s Grail and a Warrior’s Tool
Seki Japan craftsmanship makes this knife a standout in any collection. Its deep hollow grind and thick spine make it versatile, ready for field use or display. This blade doesn’t just sit on a shelf—it’s designed to work. Included is a high-quality leather sheath with a sharpening stone, ensuring it’s always mission-ready.
Why the S1 Bowie Stands Out:
- True-to-Original Design – Modeled after the legendary MACV-SOG blade, with authentic engravings.
- Gun-Blued SK-5 Carbon Steel – Durable, corrosion-resistant, and striking in appearance.
- Faceted Reinforced Tip – Enhances penetration strength for heavy-duty tasks.
- Stacked Leather Handle – Classic grip with an epoxied finish for longevity.
- Collector’s Favorite – One of the most sought-after Seki Japan SOG knives.
The S1 Bowie isn’t just another blade—it’s a piece of history, engineered for those who appreciate craftsmanship and legacy.
