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. First 1000 pieces are numbered collectibles.

Agency is rated out of 5 by 1.Rated 2 out of 5 by Dann from Overpriced, not impressed with coating or steel. This is an honest opinion, and not a judgement on SOG knives, but my only experience with an SOG knife is not stellar: I bought one of the original 1000 serialized ones more than two years ago. I have spent less money on a pocket knife that has worn down much less, with 5 years of pocket use. Unfortunately the coating wears away very easily, and not in small bits either. It wears away simply by handling the knife. It's a good thing it comes with a sharpening stone too, because the edge does not hold particularly well either. After owning it for a while, I would pay $100 for this knife. : /Date published: 2014-12-06

SOG Unconditional Pocket Clip Warranty
Pocket clips can be broken if they are accidentally caught on foreign objects while wearing. To help prevent such occurrences, SOG recommends that you wear your knife in your front pocket, with the knife inside your pocket. If, for whatever reason, your clip bends or breaks and you would like to receive a replacement, fill out the Clip Request Form, or email/call SOG's warranty department. Damage to a knife handle because a clip has snagged is not considered "normal," and any such damage will be assessed under warranty. Learn more about replacing pocket clips in Knife & Tool Care.
