WINNER OF SEAL KNIFE COMPETITION
WINNER of one of the most extensive testing and evaluation programs ever undertaken by the US Government for the Navy, the SOG SEAL Knife surpassed all others to receive the highest performance honors and become the chosen blade of the US Navy SEALs. The US Navy SEALs are one of the most elite specialized military groups in the world. SEALs must undergo a rigorous training program devised to create the consummate warrior. Only a select few endure and are given the right to wear the SEAL Trident. The knife needed to accompany a Navy SEAL must be just as worthy. The US Government's knife evaluation program included incredible tests that evaluated the following:
* Tip breaking strength
* Blade toughness
* Sharpness and edge retention
* Handle twist-off limits
* Two-week salt water immersions
* Gasoline and acetylene torch resistance
* Chopping
* Hammering
* Prying
* Penetration performance
* Cutting ability for six different types of rope and nylon line
* Low noise and low reflection factors
* Intense hands-on training in the field
COMES WITH GROOVE SHIELD
SOG Seal Knife 2000 #S37
Over years of military experience an active duty Navy SEAL, witnessed a recurring theme: open blades are useful and necessary but dangerous to equipment and personnel. His own personal experience with this problem occurred while training off the coast where his platoon was deploying inflatable boats and themselves out of a fixed wing aircraft. Being new and the first one to the boat after it landed in the water, he began cutting away the rigging that attached the parachute to the boat with his knife.
He punctured the back of the boat and put his squad at a great disadvantage for the rest of the night. That experience, coupled with countless stories of injuries to people and equipment, led him to invent the patent pending "GROOOOVE!". He spent months drafting and testing prototypes. This new innovation allows rope/line to be cut without unsheathing the knife.
You can be assured that on this extraordinary knife, the SEALs have done their homework, so you don't have to!
