The Agency follows a SOG tradition of recreating and modernizing historic classics. This unique knife was shrouded in secrecy and originally created for special CIA operatives in the early days of the Vietnam War. It was designed for clandestine and counter insurgency teams who lived in the jungle for months at a time and saw vicious close quarter combat. Never before reproduced, the beautiful flowing lines of blade and handle have been retained. We vastly improved the construction and quality with modern materials like flawless stain finish and epoxy filled leather washers that were unknown at that time. An exquisite design of the highest caliber, the SOG Agency captures the mystique of a positively unique fixed blade.
Also available in Black Tini Finish. |

gorgeous blade

Reviewer: SOG Agency
the agency has beautiful lines thru' both blade and handle. Although represented as a special ops close combat type of knife, the blade thickness could be a little more beefy (1/4") and the false edge should be sharp (it is not), the sheath, although thick leather, is fit too closely to the blade, allowing the edge to cut the thread near the tip. Overall, a beautiful, well balanced blade, reminiscent of the renowned Randall #1 fighter, and worth the price.

Seconding the last review; although I like the blade as is, single edged. A nice design, and the last reviewer's comments on the randal #1 comparison and the too-short sheath are both spot on, IMHO.
I'll be fitting an aftermarket kydex sheath to her, and calling it good; it's a well balanced and attractive blade.
