SOG Specialty Knives, Inc. (commonly known as SOG) is a U.S. knife and tool manufacturing company famous for their production of the knife with the same name, SOG. The company was founded in 1986 by Spencer and Gloria Frazer. The company was inspired in its choice of name by the Joint Services Special Operations unit known as the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG) who developed their own knife during the War in Vietnam. Making changes to the original design of the MACV SOG Fighter, like resin-impregnating the leather handle, thicker stock and new exotic grind lines, Spencer and Gloria launched their product and company with a one-page, black and white ad in Soldier of Fortune Magazine.
