About the original
The SOG Hand Axe (SHAX) F09N-CP is a compact 11.1-inch hatchet with a 2.4-inch 420 stainless steel blade, a hardcased black finish, and a G10 non-slip handle, shipped with a nylon belt sheath. SOG Specialty Knives & Tools was founded in Lynnwood, Washington in 1986 by Spencer Frazer, who launched the brand with a commemorative of the SOG Bowie knife carried by the Vietnam-era MACV-SOG special operations group. The company's name and origin story trace directly to that reference. The SHAX sits in SOG's compact-axe line and retails around $25. The SS18 Supreme collab version is the same axe with a co-branded sheath, released at $78.
