Inspired by bowies MACV-SOG used in Vietnam
Every element of this limited-edition fixed-blade knife reflects the standards that established SOG's reputation from the very beginning - from its corrosion-resistant 6.1-inch AUS 8 steel blade to its protective polished black PVD finish and ergonomic stacked leather handle - delivering a perfect blend of performance, durability, and classic aesthetics.
AUS-8 Steel
AUS-8 stainless steel offers an ideal balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance for a warfighter Bowie knife. It withstands hard impacts without becoming brittle, sharpens quickly in the field, and resists rust in harsh environments. Its dependable performance makes it a trusted choice for demanding tactical and outdoor use.
Leather sheath and sharpening stone
The 40th Anniversary Bowie arrives with a classic black leather sheath that provides you with easy access to the knife and a safe place to stow it when not in use. The sheath features a pouch with a snap enclosure that contains a sharpening stone.
Stacked leather handle
Stacked leather handles are a hallmark of classic Bowie knives, prized for their timeless appearance, secure grip, and all-day comfort. The compressed leather washers naturally absorb shock, reduce hand fatigue, and provide excellent control in wet or dry conditions. They also develop a rich, distinctive patina with years of use.

You must be 18 or older in order to purchase selected items and we are legally obliged to verify your age prior to dispatch. We have integrated OneID® into our checkout as the most straightforward method of doing this. OneID® helps you connect to your bank so that you can use that information to verify your details in a fast, private and secure way. Instead of uploading documents and taking selfies, it only takes a few clicks to confirm your name, age, address or any information you need.
Should you wish to by-pass OneID® at checkout, we will request an alternative means of verifying your age, most commonly a form of photo ID such as a driver's licence.
Our couriers are also legally obliged to verify the age of the recipient at point of delivery. All age-restricted items are marked as such and dispatch via the AV service with Parcelforce, and you must be able to produce photographic identification proving the recipient / purchaser is over 18 years of age. Because of this, the courier may not be able to leave your order in a safe place or with a neighbour if AV is not completed. They are also unable to leave your parcel at a Post Office.
