The SOG Specialty Knives & Tools M37N-CP Seal Pup is a lightweight fixed knife that’s corrosion resistant and tactical enough to be part of the SEAL series. Made of AUS-8 steel with an attractive powder coated finish, the 4.75-inch partially serrated, fixed blade has a clip point shape that delivers a quicker and deeper puncture and makes quick work of any task. The ergonomically contoured and well balanced handle has a black finish and is made of glass-reinforced nylon that will fit comfortably in your hand. The raised diamond pattern on the handle provides a no-slip, secure grip during inclement weather. SOG’s unique cryogenic heat treatment process results in an overall increase in toughness and heightened wear-resistance. A black nylon sheath is included with a hook and loop closure and belt loop attachment to keep the Seal Pup safely protected and close to you at all times. This knife has an overall length of 9-inches, blade thickness of 0.19-inches and weight of 5.4-ounces. The SOG Specialty Knives & Tools M37N-CP Seal Pup Knife comes with a limited lifetime warranty that protects against defects in manufacturing and materials. Each SOG product is created with the help of company founder and chief engineer, Spencer Frazer. Known for their uncompromising style and performance, these knives and tools showcase innovation, dependability and a unique, futuristic style that has garnered awards and recognition worldwide. SOG products have also won favor among law enforcement, military and industrial customers that rely on their tools to perform flawlessly in the toughest, most adverse conditions.
After surviving one of the most extensive test and evaluation programs ever undertaken by the U.S. Government, including knives from most U.S. cutlery manufacturers, the SOG SEAL Knife triumphed. The SEALs are one of the most specialized elite military groups in the world today. SEALs must undergo one of the most rigorous training programs devised to produce the consummate warrior.

Only a select few endure and earn the right to wear the SEAL Trident on their uniform. The SEAL knife evaluation program included: tip breaking stress, blade breaking limit, sharpness, edge retention, handle twist off force, two week salt water immersion tests, gasoline and acetylene torch resistance, chopping, hammering, prying, penetration tests, cutting six different types of rope and line, plus an intense hands-on competition in the field.
The high performance SEAL Pup from SOG Specialty Knives and Tools (model M37-N) carries on the tradition of supplying the world’s elite military forces. It features a straight-edged powder coated blade with a long cutting edge, ergonomic handle with deeper finger grooves, and added blade spine rasp for notching, filing, and thumb placement. It’s complemented by a nylon carry sheath with accessory pouch. All SOG products are guaranteed against defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the original purchaser.
SOG’s unique cryogenic heat treatment process increases the toughness and wear resistance of our blades. Taking the knife slowly down in temperature to less than -300 degrees F and then back to room temperature. This stress relieves the material on an atomic level and increases overall strength as well as edge retention. Knife edges stay sharp longer with significantly less micro-fracturing and edge-chipping.
Keeping your knife clean, dry, oiled and sharp are the primary defenses against corrosion, wear, and potential injury. Be sure to clean the blade and handle after each use–however, do not soak your knife in water. A mild solution of soap and water should remove any dirt and debris that may have accumulated during use (avoid harsh detergents such as laundry or dish soap, and chlorine products).
After cleaning or after exposure to moisture be sure to completely dry your knife blade and handle, taking special care with any sensitive handle materials. Use a soft cotton cloth or chamois and a small amount of moisture-displacing oil (such as WD-40 or 3-in-1), on the blade only, to prevent water spots and oxidation from forming. Fingerprints and weather are the primary causes of rusting or corrosion on a knife blade. To keep your knife looking its best, SOG recommends that you give your blade a light coat of oil after each cleaning, and prior to long term storage.

Awesome knife â HORRIBLE, worthless sheath UPDATE: After 16 months I downgraded this review from five to three stars because the sheath it comes with is just plain awful. The retention snap is difficult to open or close The molle strap is thin, flimsy and loose and overall the sheath is bulky. SOG offers the KYD-M40 Kydex sheath that comes with the SEAL Pup Elite separately for about $22 to $30 when you can find it in stock. With the better sheath this combination is only a few dollars cheaper than the SEAL Pup Elite. The even better…
It is very lame that SOG traded quality and integrity of the brand … It is very lame that SOG traded quality and integrity of the brand for cheap Chinese manufacturing. I used to be a very big fan of SOG product I (have several of them and few SOG PUPs) – not anymore. #1 knife that you see on the picture on top with a gray blade is a original design SEAL PUP made in Japan. I got that knife long time and it served me well for several years and through several deployments to Afghanistan and multiple hiking trips also. It sustained a lot of abuse but stayed sharp…
Not the same SHEATH as shown in photos! It’s USELESS For the price, this is still a great survival knife-hence the 3 stars. You’d be hard pressed to find a seal pup anywhere for cheaper. That being said, what is shown in the product images is not the same product as you will get! This knife is not made in Seki, Japan anymore, nor Taiwan (as shown in the photos), but these are Chinese made. The quality seems about as good out of the box as my other one that is made in Taiwan. Sharp but could be sharpened for a razors edge. My biggest issue is the…
