Up for grabs is a SOG Seal full size knife. I'm paring down my inordinately large collection of edged things, and the only real reason i have this one is because it was the model for the knife in counterstrike.
Features:
* 6" partially serrated AUS8 blade. (7" if you count the after-bolster-but-before-serration bit) It's been used a little, so the finish is work at the tip. The false edge has been partially refined with a belt sander.
* 5" glass-reinforced nylon handle. Full tang and a lanyard loop. 12" overall length
* Kydex sheath with a belt loop and attachment slots for your webbing system of choice.
Paypal works great; your item will go USPS priority mail with a tracking number.
I'd like $50+ shipping -- medium flat rate is $12, so it'd be $62 total.

I have eight SOG knives including the newer upgrade of this knife- the Seal Team 2000 and the Seal Pup Elite which is the upgrade of this knifes little brother the Seal Pup, both in AUS8a steel.
Rumor has it that this knife won out in a series of rigorous tests in the (eighties?) for the bid for the SEALs issue knife.
My Seal Team 2000 is my go to knife for most things and is actually on my hip right now from some yardwork I was doing a few minutes ago. My EDC folder is also a SOG.
Unlike the SOGs being produced in Taiwan now, I'd be willing to bet that this one is one of the ones still made in Sekei Japan.
SOG makes some good stuff, knives that won't let you down when you need them.

Indeed. It has "SEIKI - JAPAN" stamped on the blade above the handle. This is a first-gen SEAL -- I bought it in 1998-ish.

How is a seal going to use a knife with those big flippers?
