The SOG S1 Bowie Vietnam 5th Special Forces Group is one of the most representative knives in the history of SOG Specialty Knives and the model with which the American brand began its production during the second half of the 1980s. Made in Seki, Japan, the S1 was created as a tribute to the famous knives used by members of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG) during the Vietnam War.

It is important to distinguish the S1 from the original “sterile” military knives actually used operationally during the conflict: the commercial SOG model instead reproduces the commemorative configuration of the famous MACV-SOG Bowie, featuring the U.S. Army Special Forces crest on the blade together with the marking “VIETNAM 5th SPECIAL FORCES GROUP”. This strong historical identity, combined with the quality of Japanese manufacturing, has made it one of the most recognizable and sought-after vintage SOG knives among collectors.

Production was entrusted to Ichiro Hattori in Seki, one of the most important names in Japanese knifemaking. The substantial Bowie blade is made from SK-5 carbon steel, hardened to approximately 57-58 HRC, with the characteristic dark gun-blue finish combined with polished surfaces. The handle uses traditional stacked leather washers stabilized with epoxy resin, completed by a sturdy metal guard and pommel.

This example features the classic SOG Specialty Knives logo on one side of the ricasso and, on the opposite side, the markings “SEKI-JAPAN”, the Special Forces crest and the inscription “VIETNAM 5th SPECIAL FORCES GROUP”. It is also accompanied by its original black leather sheath, complete with sharpening stone pocket and a large Special Forces crest embossed on the lower section. The original period identification label is still present on the back of the sheath.

The example offered here comes from a private collection and has actually been used. The blade shows scratches, abrasions and surface marks, both on the blued and polished areas; the leather handle has developed a noticeable patina and shows wear consistent with its age. The original sheath is also heavily used, with leather wear, marks and widespread abrasions. Its condition should therefore be considered good in relation to its age and nature, but it should not be compared with a display-grade or NOS example.

These very characteristics tell the story of an authentic SOG S1 made in Seki: a knife that, regardless of its cosmetic condition, retains all the appeal of one of the founding models of the brand and today represents a particularly significant piece for a collection dedicated to American military knives and Japanese SOG production from the 1980s and 1990s.

The Socom Delta represents the modern evolution of a Microtech icon, setting extremely high standards in the world of tactical and utility knives. A direct descendant of the legendary Socom introduced in 1996, the Delta carries on its legacy while taking it to the next level in terms of ergonomics, durability, and operational versatility. Available with a clip-point or tanto blade, it guarantees top-notch performance in any situation. The integrated glass breaker at the base of the handle and the large pivot, which allows for easy opening even while wearing gloves, reinforce its professional appeal. Its rugged reliability makes it a top choice even in the most demanding environments, now featuring RAM-LOK technology.

This rugged reimagining of the crossbar lock features Microtech’s signature stepped pattern, made famous by the Ultratech series’ activation switches. The blade’s wide cutout provides space for reverse middle-finger movements and for the standard slow-rotation thumb opening, with or without gloves. If neither of these is preferred, simply pull down the RAM-LOK and the blade opens with a simple flick of the wrist. The aluminum handles are slightly textured, offering excellent grip potential for both standard and reverse grips.

The Rockstead HIGO II in titanium is not simply a high-end folding knife: it is the ultimate embodiment of Japanese philosophy applied to cutting, where every detail is pushed to the limits of perfection.

The minimalist, flawless titanium handle serves as a counterpoint to a ZDP-189 blade hardened to extreme hardness and finished with an almost unreal mirror polish. The result is not merely aesthetic: it is a living surface, capable of gliding through material with a smoothness and continuity that few knives in the world can offer.

Rockstead’s proprietary convex geometry does more than just cut: it separates, controls, and guides. It is a blade designed for those who recognize the difference between extreme sharpness and true long-term efficiency.

The HIGO II is an object for connoisseurs, where tolerances, treatments, and finishes are not mere technical specifications, but part of a precise language.

Created in 1986 as the second official model of the newly formed SOG Specialty Knives, the S2 Trident is not just a knife, but a bridge between the past and the present. Designed in honor of the Navy SEALs and special units that operated in Vietnam, it draws direct inspiration from the legendary MACV-SOG knives of the 1960s, “sterilized” and lethal tools used in the most secret missions of the conflict.

Produced during the company's golden age in Seki, Japan, the Trident combines elegant lines and combat functionality: a thick, balanced AUS-8 steel Bowie blade with impeccable satin finish; ergonomic and durable black micarta stacked washer handle; and the engraved Navy SEAL symbol, a seal of belonging to an elite group. The leather sheath with sharpening stone completes a package designed for operators and collectors.

The S2 Trident is the most refined tribute to SOG's operational past: a homage to the military tradition of Vietnam reinterpreted with Japanese craftsmanship. Today, with a very high rarity index, it is considered one of the most sought-after pieces by military knife collectors, not only for its build quality, but for the history embodied in its blade.

This sturdy reinterpretation of the crossbar lock features Microtech's signature stepped pattern, made famous by the Ultratech series of switchblades. The wide blade cutout provides room for reverse middle finger movements and standard slow-rotation thumb opening, with or without gloves. If neither is preferred, simply pull down on the RAM-LOK and the blade opens with a flick of the wrist. The aluminum handles are slightly textured to provide excellent grip potential with both standard and reverse grips. Rugged, durable, and made in the USA, we know it will quickly become a favorite among all members of the knife community.

The Microtech Stitch is a beautiful tactical collaboration between Tony Marfione and Sebastijan Berenji, AKA Borka. It takes Sebastijan's fantastic Stitch design and pairs it with Tony's superb opening mechanisms to create one of the most beautiful production collaborations ever.

SHIN in Japanese means ‘trust’.

The SHIN is one of the largest folders in the Rockstead catalog and showcases all the typical and characteristic elements of the brand: aluminum handle with a pearl-radiant design, hardened anodization at 400 Vickers, and an insert of high-quality stingray leather (Samekawa).

This is a durable knife with strong cutting capabilities that maintains its edge for a long time. Even when used for rigorous cuts, the blade glides securely thanks to its particular sharpening.

The blade indeed has a HONZUKURI sharpening, convex on both sides, following the tradition of Japanese swords; this makes it both very sharp and sturdy, allowing it to cleanly cut a sheet of paper even after 1000 cuts through a very abrasive and resistant hemp rope.

A faithful companion for life, in which to place the utmost trust.

Released in 2023, the MSI (Microtech Standard Issue) is the first Microtech knife to feature the fantastic RAM-LOK technology. This sturdy reinterpretation of the sleeper lock features Microtech's distinctive stepped pattern, made famous by the Ultratech series trigger switches. The wide blade cutout provides ample room for reverse middle finger movement and standard slow-rotation thumb opening, with or without gloves. If neither is preferred, simply pull down on the RAM-LOK and the blade opens with a flick of the wrist. Injection-molded handles offer excellent grip potential with both standard and inverted grips. Rugged, durable, great value and made in the USA, we know the MSI will quickly become a favorite of everyone in the knife community.
