Here's the *second* ever knife that SOG produced! One of those good old SOG knife models. Building on its branding with the US Special Forces, SOG produced the 'Trident' knife in honour of the US Navy SEALs. This knife bears a striking resemblance to the original S1 Bowie, except that it uses a different blade steel and micarta handles - a very much modern make-over of the S1 Bowie. The Navy SEAL emblem can be found engraved on the right side of the blade. Unlike other old SOG bowies, the Trident does not have 'S.M.CA' or 'EDM.WA' engraved below the SOG logo which some other knives may have.
The Seki-Japan made SOG Tridents hae been discontinued, but a similar version is currently being produced in Taiwan (renamed as 'Trident 2.0'), along with the majority of SOG's fixed blades. The model we are talking however was produced in Seki, Japan. Older versions of the Trident can be identified by the "Seki Japan" engraving on the knife and the thicker white (oldest versions have aged yellow) washers on the handle
