Now when you say SOG in reference to knife it could refer to an original SOG knife, a copy of a SOG knife or a knife company named SOG.

Any history on the work shown?

the knife company SOG(SOG Specialty Knives and Tools, Inc.) traces its roots back to this knife. the knife was designed by Ben baker and manufactured through CISO. here is a link to the SOG web page at the bottom of the page is a PDF file of an article done in fall 1991 Fighting Knives magazine

the knife in the photo is one of the 3700 serial number pieces. It was a captured VC war trophy processed through the Long Binh post
