SOG Stout Slipjoint Cleaver Knife

The SOG Stout is a compact folding knife made for everyday carry, featuring a wharncliffe blade. Designed through a collaboration between Danish knife designer Mikkel Willumsen and SOG founder Spencer Frazer, the SOG Stout combines a stonewashed CRYO heat treated D2 steel blade with a sturdy stainless steel frame and a durable G10 handle. This EDC knife offers smooth, effortless opening and closing, clicking securely in place for confident use.

With a sub-3-inch blade and slip joint mechanism, the SOG Stout SJ is travel-friendly and compliant with laws in most regions that restrict one-handed opening or locking knives. This makes it a universally accessible option for knife enthusiasts, but specifically for people in the UK who need a reliable pocket knife that doesn’t fall foul of any laws. Plus with this ones non-pointy looking blade, it’s an even better option for daily carry.

Building on the popular Stout FLK, the SJ features a D2 steel blade with a discrete stonewashed finish, G10 grip handles, and an ambidextrous clip for versatile carry. The slip joint mechanism safely holds the blade open with spring resistance and requires manual pressure to open and close.

The choice of D2 blade steel is excellent. It’s a hard wearing semi stainless metal that offers ease of sharpening along with durability that reduces the need to sharpen it in the first place. This model is cryo heat treated with ultra cold chemicals in order to enhance the durability of the already excellent steel further.
