Al Mar SF-SOG Special OPS with black Micarta handles and marked SEKI-JAPAN. It is mint with the great original sheath and box. The blade is 8" and it is 13" overall. Model 4008-B. It is full tang with a thick 1/4" blade of 6A stainless steel. The sheath is black leather and mint. Al only made a few knives larger than this one.
During the Vietnam conflict, the U.S. Army's Special Forces commissioned a combat knife for members of its S.O.G. (Studies and Observation Group) teams. These were made in Okinawa and bear no maker's markings. This is Al Mar's homage to that knife and the forces that used it. It is made better than the original!
Initiated by Colonel Nick Rowe, creator of the Special Operations Command's SERE (Survive, Escape, Resistance, Evasion) School at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, capable of meeting the stringent demands required in combat/survival situations.
MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command, Vietnam - Studies and Observation Group) was an unconventional warfare task force engaged in highly classified operations throughout Southeast Asia. The U.S. Army's Special Forces (Green Berets), Air Force Combat Controllers, Navy SEALs and other units channeled personnel into MACV-SOG through Special Operations Augmentation (SOA), which provided their "cover" while under secret orders to MACV-SOG. The teams performed deep penetration missions of strategic reconnaissance and interdiction which were called, depending on the time frame, "Shining Brass" or "Prairie Fire" missions.
