Description:

Hi all. Here's an IMMACULATE SOG Scuba/Demo, vintage Seki City. With the stacked leather handles and brass furniture, it's just beautiful. Comes with everything seen in the picture. Happy to send more photos if you want them.

No best offers or asking "What will you take?" at this stage please. Seriously. Maybe in a month IF it hasn't sold. Free postage, or pick-up/drop-off in Brisbane.

With work I also won't be able to answer my phone during the day. I generally don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognise so it's best to send me a text first.

The following Information was taken from: http://www.sogknivescollectors.com

The SCUBA/Demo knife is a reproduction/replica of one of the rarest Vietnam military knives ever made to date... SOG has revived this knife by producing a copy that is made as close as possible to the original knife, except for a few shape changes. The fact that it is sharpened on both sides makes it illegal to own in some states and countries. It can't really be classified as a 'dagger' because the area forward of the serrations (aka teeth) is not sharpened. So basically it is a normal knife with sawback teeth on the other side, much like a Rambo style knife. This very design is a very unique and purposeful one, and an interesting one at that. Originally designed during the Vietnam War era a diving knife, the SCUBA/Demo has a straight edge to cut, and a serrated edge to saw through thick rope.

Nevertheless for those lucky enough to own it, it is a sight to behold. IMHO leather handles with brass makes this knife a very handsome and classic 'Vietnam era' knife. Another must have in the SOG collection. It is also the only old model that has its model name engraved on the knife - "SCUBA/DEMO" on centre right of the blade.
