Our story begins in Vietnam, where members of a highly classified US special ops unit - known as MACV-SOG - carried a unique combat knife into the jungle on covert missions. Years later, in 1986, that knife inspired a young designer, named Spencer Frazer, to found SOG Specialty Knives. His mission: to reproduce the original SOG Bowie knife and pay tribute to the special ops unit that created it.

It’s a real problem: most tools for your firearms — most tools period — just aren’t meant to be portable. Too big. Too clunky. Too limited in use. Nobody wants to drag a toolbox with them, and that means your hunt, your competition — whatever you’re doing — could be ruined because you don’t have the right tools on hand. We looked at what was available and thought “there’s got to be a better way.”
