In 1986, designer Spencer Frazer founded SOG Specialty Knives to reproduce that Bowie as a tribute, and the company soon grew into a full line of tactical knives and tools. Its SEAL Knife 2000 became one of SOG's best-known designs, and the SEAL Pup scales that knife down to a size you can carry all day. The Pup was first made in Seki, Japan, and production later moved to Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAUS-8 Steel, Serrations, and a Sealed Handle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe blade is Japanese AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 57 to 58 HRC, which balances toughness, rust resistance, and easy sharpening. A hollow grind gives it a keen slicing edge, and the serrated section near the handle saws through rope, webbing, and fibrous material. The gray powder coat cuts glare and adds another layer of corrosion protection. The glass-reinforced nylon handle wraps fully around the tang, so no bare metal touches your hand in the cold, and its textured grip holds even when wet. The Kydex sheath locks the knife in with a positive click and mounts on a belt or MOLLE gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeer Camp, the Ranch Truck, and Beyond\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOwners report using the SEAL Pup for deer and hog hunting, fishing, camp meal prep, and yard work like cutting small branches. One rancher keeps his in the truck for cutting the net wrap off round bales, and another owner used his to scrape half an inch of ice off a frozen windshield. Many reviewers bought theirs during military service and still use them years later, which speaks to how well the design holds up. One honest note: heavy use will wear the powder coat off the edge area over time, which is normal and doesn't affect performance.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67133323608305,"sku":"67133323608305","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/SOGM37K.jpg?v=1791392098","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/sog-seal-pup-knife","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
