The US Navy SEALs are one of the most elite specialized military groups in the world. SEALs must undergo a rigorous training program devised to create the consummate warrior. Only a select few endure and are given the right to wear the SEAL Trident.

The knife needed to accompany a Navy SEAL must be just as worthy. The US Government's knife evaluation program included incredible tests that evaluated the following:

tip breaking strength
blade toughness
sharpness and edge retention
handle twist-off limits
two-week salt water immersions
gasoline and acetylene torch resistance
chopping
hammering
prying
penetration performance
cutting ability for six different types of rope and nylon line
low noise and low reflection factors
intense hands-on training in the field

This one holds the logo of the US NAVY SEALS on the right hand side of the blade.

Circa 1986-2004.

This is the *2nd* ever knife that SOG produced! One of those good old SOG knife models. Building on its branding with the US Special Forces, SOG produced the 'Trident' knife in honour of the US Navy SEALs. This knife bears a striking resemblance to the original S1 Bowie except that it uses a different blade steel and micarta handles - a very much modern make-over of the S1 Bowie. The Navy SEAL emblem can be found engraved on the right side of the blade. Unlike other old SOG bowies, the Trident does not have 'S.M.CA' or 'EDM.WA' engraved below the SOG logo which some other knives may have.

The SOG Tridents have been discontinued, but a similar version is currently being produced in Taiwan (renamed as 'Trident 2.0'), along with the majority of SOG's fixed blades. Note that the newer Taiwanese produced 'Trident 2.0' has a longer 6.4" length and a smaller thickness of .240".
