Chances are your father or grandfather carried a folding knife with a lock back design. This classic and simple mechanism is known for being lightweight reliable and durable. It's also safe to use with a solid lock up that prevents accidental closures and unexpected openings while in your pocket. SOG's updated design features a Ti-Ni coated CRYO hardened 5CR15MOV blade that has the corrosion and stain resistant properties of stainless steel along with moderate toughness for good edge retention and ease of sharpening. The glass reinforced nylon handle is textured for a secure grip while being lightweight and strong. The versatile deep carry pocket clip is an ambidextrous design.
