Originally, 39 were made and 38 of these were delivered to the Naval Advisory Detachment for missions on the North Vietnamese coastline. They then were issued to OPLAN 37 ALPHA in 1964. Of the 38 issued, 36 were lost in operations and the two were never seen again.The SOG SCUBA/Demos 7.25 inch, AUS 8 steel blade is a rugged .230 inches thick and is double-edged, featuring a unique full-serration along the spine.
