Ok, now I'm confused. I thought this did not come without the gut hook and serrations. Brigade Quartermasters shows a plain edged model with no guthook.

Gents I would think the main difference is that the one in Hoodoo's link is the SEAL Revolver.
The one that you are looking at here is the Hunter revolver and as such the hunter has a gut hook and other bits

Leon, I think most people knew that. The question is about the revolver in general. I think lots of people thought like I did, that there were only two configurations, one with the gut hook and straight edge, and another model with a partially serrated blade. I even went to the SOG website once and could only find those two configurations.

Ok, here's what BQM told me. They only have the partially serrated version. Evidently it was originally available without serrations but no longer.
Must be an older version. I did a search on google for a plain edged SEAL Revolver and there are a TON of links. click here
The funny thing is that most of them are listed as being made out of AUS-6 stainless steel...... weird

Sorry I am a little late on responding, been very busy. I have been reading the forums every day but could not respond until now.
There was never a "plain edge" clip point (SEAL) model produced, the pictures of a plain edge were taken of a "prototype" that was never made.
Except for one and it was a prototype, wish I knew where it was...
So................to sum it all up, there are no plain edge blades except the Hunter with gut hook and the Tanto blade on the Double Action models..............maybe there will be though, I sure hope so.
Socintel, as you said, there are a TON of links that list the Revolver series as having AUS-6 steel, I sent many emails to many sites to ask them to correct this, I could not reach them all.
All the SOG Revolver knives have AUS-8 stainless steel. Thanks a bunch for all the interest and please contact me anytime if I can help.

I'm so relieved someone finally sorted this all out; I could not for the life of me work out why I had been interested in a kniife with a gut hook and was sure the one I'd originally looked at didn't have this or serrations either.
Robbie you must get sick and tired having to explain all of this to folks, thanks for the patience,
Cheers,

Thanks Robbie. At least I know I'm not going insane now.
No body is crazy, glad I could help, just wish I could provide a blade shape for everyone because the Revolver is a very handy and versatile knife.
The clip blade, satin finish "SEAL" model (shown below) is the closest blade design to the drop point mentioned here on these forums.

I still can't figure out for the life of me why I did not think of this idea (Blade/saw in a straight knife design) 30 years ago when I could have used it so much more.
Thanks again for the interest.

Hello, Robbie is a personal friend of mine and I'm glad to see everyone giving the Revolver a try. I have one and it's part of my regular outdoor gear. Robbie told me about this forum so I'll be reading probably more then posting for awhile. Thanks
