VINTAGE

SOG TECH I

Fabulous model featuring Hattori's design (again and again) for the blade!

The polished brass guard adds a touch of class and the Kraton handle a tactical touch

A crossroads of styles, this SOG TECH I (the II is larger) is a real winner!

Technically :

Produced in SEKI (Japan) in the late '80s/early '90s

15.5cm blade in 6mm-thick SK5 carbon steel!

Total length 26cm

Brass block guard

Kraton handle

Lanyard hole

The original holster was in near-useless condition; we asked Gary from KPK to make us one according to his inspiration, and the result is just great!

Bravo and thank you KPK!

And with a little paracord braiding to match...

Perfect point, edge and markings

On the other hand, the blade bears a few traces of oxidation and the handle seems to have been pricked / bitten?

Knife condition 7/10

Case replaced by a custom one

Rarity index 9.5/10

Original" rating condition 10/10

650/700

Delivered in a black nylon pouch with zip closure.

Our opinion: You may have noticed that it doesn't say COLLECTOR. In our opinion, the condition of the knife and the absence of the original sheath make it impossible to classify it as such.

Nonetheless, it remains a super Vintage, fun in this formidably efficient configuration!

However, in terms of long-term investment, it's hard to say whether this configuration will increase its value...!
