SOG Knives Collectors' Review/Take: The SOG Government, ancestor of the Government Agent and the Gov-Tac, is said to be the 13th knife that SOG produced. A nice camping knife to have, the SOG Government incorporates a stainless steel pommel designed to be used as a field hammer - very handy feature indeed for hammering in those tent stakes or nails. It is was also rolled out during the same period in a tactical version, the Recon Government, which features a gun-blued darkened blade instead of the satin finish that the Government has. SOG came out with confusing names for the consumers - Government, Government Agent and the Gov-Tac...
Only the true collectors with the right knowledge will be able to discern between the three knives. Specifications: Blade Length: 6.25 in. Overall length: 11.25 in. Blade Steel: 440A Stainless Steel Blade hardness: Rc.57-58 Blade finish: Satin-finished Weight:8.5 oz. Other things of interest:Discontinued from production, first knife with a pommel to use as a field hammer. Rarity index:8.5/10(10 being the most rare). 5 - Knives that are on the borderline of being discontinued or have been discontinued for less than 6 months 6 - Products from 6 onwards are either discontinued or limited edition.
Still can be found at a few online shops though. 8 - Knives that need lots of researching to find. Not available anymore in online knife shops and pop up (if you're lucky) >4 months for one at a time.9 - Knives holding this rarity are the shadowy kind. You can't find any information on them at all (not even from online knife shops that have not taken down thatknife'sproduct page).
If you see one for sale grab at all cost. 10 - The rarest of all knives. If you hadn't been here you wouldn't even have known that it existed. Should you have one of these you better lock it up in a triple-combinationsafe and treat it like a family heirloom...
