    What does S.G.CO mean? It is stamped on the blade of a World War II era knife said to be used by D B Cooper, creator of King Kong, to escape from Russia.

    		I can find no reference to S.G.Co. so I will assume that S. is the first initial of the founder of the Gerber kinfe Co..

    This is pure speculation.

    		Nope, the founder of the Gerber Knife Company was named Joseph. But apparently, there was an S G Co. that made knives:

    		I contacted a WW II knife historian and he has no answer.

    Excellent work Lanfranco.
