    1 vintage U.S. Vietnam War
    Seven Inch Recon combat knife by Japan Sword
    .
    This is one of the rarest SOG knives--
    arguably the rarest, as only 3 or 4 are known to exist
    .
    This fine vintage SOG fighting knife would make an exceptional addition to any collection.
    John Gibson comments on his site about this model:
    "Seven Inch Recon made by Japan Sword and so marked on the ricasso. It has a blue blade and comes with the original scabbard. Only a couple of these are know to exist."
    The knife blade measures 7".  This knife measures 11 3/4" overall.  The blade is blued.  The ricasso is stamped 'JAPAN   SWORD'.
    The sheath, of course, is original to the knife.
    Product Condition
    Exceptional
    .  The blued finish is 85%.  There is no rust and no pitting.  The handle is exceptional.  The sheath is 98% at least.
    The listing represents the opportunity to add one of the most rare, if not the rarest SOG knives, to your collection.
