When Survival Knives Can Really Come In Handy
The longevity of SOG knives is what makes them so amazing. They are created to hold up against various temperatures, humidity, as well as dryness. Therefore they function in the rain forest and desert without a problem. Serving numerous uses, deciding on the right one needs a good idea of where one is heading and what they may need to do while on an adventure.
SOG is short for Studies and Observation Group. It was a classified ops team employed throughout the Vietnam War. The SOG survival knives and spring assisted knives ended up being issued to soldiers of that division. They beared no markings, which in turn played very well for any involved in undercover missions. This guaranteed all prisoners or war would not be traceable back to the united states as well as its allies. They are no longer put to use in military service.
Replications are set with marks that reference the war in which the SOG knives were born. Blades that evoke the feel of the genuine ones feature a hard dark case for your handle.
They are now employed during daily adventures such as going camping, jungle expeditions, along with sports buffs. Many are actually as small as credit cards. Those are good for mini activities. Other types serve the purpose from hunting to preparing food, taking good care of the details it requires to clean up an animal after a hunt.
The knives are fixed, folding, and assisted. Each and every style had a unique purpose. The jungle type blade is known to chop, hammer, as well as saw. Machete style knives are good emergency tools. They are utilized to cut down the grass, bamboo, as well as wood that's useful in creating shelter. This will come in handy for swinging vines. Foldable knives are great for carrying in pockets. Since they're small, they squeeze into smaller sized places. They are ideal for camping and also may be used to cut rope and gut fish. Several possess one-handed opening capabilities. Some are made so they don't need to be opened up for cutting small rope or simply lines.
Enthusiasts learn that that originals garner a pretty penny. Specialty knives do big business. SOG knives aren't any different. Even those that are scratched have a good price. Since they had been specifically made for such a short time, they hold some value.
Though it may not matter to some, you will discover blades which service those who are ambidextrous. Having the capability to use a cutlery with either hand is critical during periods of war.

A few collectors will find that questioning their supplier might be a possibility to purchasing online. Either way, contributing to the collection shouldn't be too complicated for people who hold the resolve.
Having a fixed blade survival knife while hiking in California?
What are the laws for having a fixed blade large survival knife in California?
I am pasting an answer I gave for another question about transporting a knife to a campsite. Essentially, the state law allows you to carry a knife as long as it is not concealed (i.e. must be visibly carried on your belt or whatever). No switchblades or knives in your boot and such. Local municipal laws may vary. If you're hiking in L.A., don't carry a knife; anywhere rural, you should be fine. Check with local law enforcement before you go or ask the Park rangers.
"Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
As long as the knife is not a switchblade, dagger, ballistic knife, etc., there should be no special precautions needed. California law states that fixed blade knives not be concealed upon the person when carried. That means you can't have a knife hidden in your boot, or inside your shirt where no one else can see. It must be carried (when on your person) visibly on the belt. If you are headed camping and have a blade in your pack, you should be fine. If an officer pulls you over for a traffic violation and asks if you have any weapons, calmly state that you have a legal blade for camping in your pack. Without catching an attitude, and with all due respect, state that you understand the knife to be legal to carry and that you are en-route to your camping location. You may want to call ahead to the park or camp ground to which you are headed and ask if they have any specific limitations on what campers can bring. If you are headed to any government building or 'public meeting', California law prohibits blades longer than 4 inches. If, however, you live in LA, they have a local ordinance against any knife over 3 inches.
Oh, and you shouldn't have any throwing stars with you, either. You're gonna have to fight any rabid squirrels up close with your knife.
BTW, what kind of 'survival knife' are you talking about?
