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. Our 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
Knife enthusiasts have long admired the elegant and simple lock-back design that has all of the right benefits for outdoor use...lightweight, safety, and durability.
This isn't your grandfather's lock-back knife. It features a sharp CRYO-hardened 5CR15MOV steel blade that resists corrosion and staining. The hardy and heavily textured glass-reinforced nylon handle ensures a strong grip in wet or dry conditions. The reversible pocket clip allows you to carry it any way you like.
CRYO 5CR15MOV Steel is, in SOG's opinion, a great value. It has the properties you want from stainless steel including corrosion resistance and stain resistance. CRYO hardening makes sure it will hold a sharp edge and its moderate toughness makes it ideal for users that like to sharpen their own knives.
Glass-reinforced nylon handles are perfect for outdoor use since their lightweight make for easy packing. The glass fibers integrated into the nylon matrix greatly enhance the handle's strength and durability during hard outdoor use. GRN handles have an inherent resistance to moisture that also makes them perfect for outdoor use.
The lock-back mechanism is a great choice for outdoor use due to its lightweight and simple design. Not much can go wrong due to its simplicity. But don't let the simple design fool you as this design is known for a solid and safe lock up. Something you can depend on when out in the woods.
