The knife depends on the situation...But I do find SOG knives to be of better quality.
Those knives have been used in the Dartmouth College conflict. The SOG knives haven't been used in many conflicts, this is one of some conflicts where a SOG knive has been used.
I tend to favour SOG, Buck, and Old Hickory knives, personally.
Wikipedia states, "The SOG knife was designed for, and issued to, covert Studies and Observation Group personnel during the Vietnam War." And thus the S-O-G.
One can find information about a SOG knife at the SOG knives official website. They have information including a buyers guide, maintenance tips and warranty details.
One can purchase a Tactical Tomahawk from the following stores online; Tactical Tomahawk for sale on amazon, Tactical Tomahawk Black on SOG, and Tactical Tomahawks and axes on The Budk Catalog.
Whatever they buy on their own. Knives aren't an issued item, so, if you want one, you bring your own. I carried a SOG Seal 2000 knife.
The US Army issues several types of knives, and in addition to that soldiers can carry their own knife or knives. Most popular and widespread models are Buck M9 field knife, which also doubles as a bayonet, Kabar and Ontario military knives. During Vietnam era SOG bowie was issued as a standard knife.
Brime de Sog's population is 215.
The Ka-Bar was never adopted by the Army... there is no actual "issue combat knife", although soldiers will purchase them on their own.. some purchase the Ka-Bar.. I preferred the SOG SEAL 2000, personally. The Ka-Bar can be thrown.. however, it's not ideally balanced as a throwing knife (as most combat knives aren't), and would take a good of practice specifically with that knife to get it down.
No, "sog" is not a recognized word in standard English dictionaries.
For which purpose? When it comes to kitchen knives, Cutco Knives are superior to anything else on the market, and are less expensive than comparable brands. For combat knives, you can't go wrong with Ka Bar or SOG. If you're looking for something like a Swiss Army knive, the original - Victrinox - is the best, hands down. Can't really give much more of an answer without knowing what exactly you're using it for.
