SOGKNIVECOLLECTORS
The SOG Seal 2000 won 13 other knives to gain the prestigious title of being supplied to the US Navy Seals for their usage, after a rigorous battery of tests which included flame, saltwater, acetylene torch resistance and abuse of all sorts.
It is the combination of all of SOG's fixed blades - a little bit from each model pieced together to form it.
The SOG Seal 2000 Knife features 7"
partially serrated blade, powder-coated for low reflectivity, grippy Zytel handle for chemical and flame
resistance, AUS-6 steel for saltwater resistance, tactical jump-rated kydex sheath with "groove" for easy cutting of cords, and the
list goes on... This is the iconic "SOG Knife" indeed. It is especially popular among the general public as a scuba diving knife for its high saltwater resistance and is usually strapped to the thigh/calf for a tactical feel.
