I just got a couple of simple questions:

1. What do you call the coating on the Recon Bowie?

2. The Recon Government: What is the handle made of? Kraton??

 
Hi Snowman,

The coating on the Recon Bowie (as with other SOG knives similarly finished) is bluing that would be found on other products, such as rifle barrels. It is often called "gun bluing."

The handle material of the Recon Government, which is no longer in production, is Kraton. The Recon has been replaced by the Government Agent. The Government has a standard blade finish (lightly brushed), while the Recon, and now the Agent, are the non-relective model.

If you have any other questions, ask away!

(Thanks Mike for the photos...I'll have mine in the next day or two)

A very attractive little knife. Here is a quote from the SHOT Show flyer:

"In the palm of your hand, Sculptura is an organic shape that has the silky, contoured feel of a stream-worn stone or beach-tumbed shell. It is distinctive. It is unusual. It raises the standard of fine pocket knives. The essence of this masterpiece is our ambidextrous Arc-Lock assuring that its action is impecably smooth, swift, strong, and safe. Sculptura's two-inch, drop-point blade is more than capable of daily chores and its lightweight, ergonomic Zytel handle is comfortable to hold and manuever. Sculptura also has a stout clip for extended carry or for holding folded bills."

Hi Markus,

That was my first question, as well. It opens simply by pinching the blade on the spine and rotating it out. With the Arc-Lock, the action is easy and smooth.

Hi Smoke,

I'm certainly going to be adding one to my collection as well! Release date? I've not seen any schedule yet for the year. Sorry...I'm anxious, too.
