Compact, capable, and built for the field, the SOG Ether FX Knife is a fixed-blade EDC that punches well above its weight class. At just 60g (2.1oz) with an overall length of 180mm (7.1"), this is a knife designed to be carried all day without you noticing it's there — until you need it. The blade is CPM-S35VN stainless steel, a premium powder-metallurgy steel respected in the industry for its outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, ground into a 79mm (3.1") drop point profile with a clean satin finish. Whether you're skinning game, processing camp meals, or reaching for a general-purpose field blade, the Ether FX is a seriously well-specified tool for the money.

SOG Ether FX Knife Key Features

  • Blade Steel - CPM-S35VN Stainless Steel: A high-end powder-metallurgy stainless steel offering excellent edge retention, fine-grain structure for sharpenability, and strong corrosion resistance. Hardened to 58-60 HRC, which sits in the sweet spot between edge-holding performance and practical toughness for field use.
  • Blade Profile - Drop Point with Satin Finish: The 79mm (3.1") drop point profile is a proven, versatile geometry well-suited to hunting and general outdoor tasks. The satin finish reduces glare and provides a degree of surface protection.
  • Blade Thickness - 3.5mm (0.14"): Enough spine stock for rigidity and controlled batoning of light material, while still maintaining the slicing geometry needed for detailed work.
  • Jimping and Dimpled Blade: Full jimping along the spine provides a positive thumb grip for controlled, precise cuts. The dimpled blade flat adds an additional high-traction surface contact point for a secure two-handed grip when needed.
  • Handle - Skeletonized Blaze Orange G10: G10 is a fibreglass laminate handle material known for its durability, moisture resistance, and grip texture even in wet conditions. The skeletonised design keeps weight down, and the removable scales allow the knife to be used as a compact, stripped-back companion blade when pack weight matters. Blaze orange colouring aids visibility if the knife is set down in the field.
  • Lanyard Holes: Built-in lanyard attachment points allow for retention lanyards or paracord wraps, adding security and customisation options for field carry.
  • Sheath - Kydex with Universal Mounting System (UMS): The included Kydex sheath is rigid, weather-resistant, and retains the knife securely. SOG's Universal Mounting System provides a range of carry and attachment options, making it adaptable to belt, pack, or vest carry setups.
  • Weight - 60g (2.1oz): Exceptionally light for a fixed-blade knife with this specification level, making it a low-burden addition to any kit whether you're hiking in or packing light for a day hunt.

The SOG Ether FX is a genuinely capable fixed-blade at a practical carry size, built from materials you'd expect to see on knives costing considerably more. For hunters, bushcrafters, and outdoors people looking for a reliable, lightweight field knife they can depend on every trip out, it's a hard combination to beat.

What steel is the SOG Ether FX blade made from, and why does it matter?

The Ether FX uses CPM-S35VN stainless steel, hardened to 58–60 RC. This premium steel offers excellent edge retention so the blade stays sharp longer between sharpenings, along with strong corrosion resistance — making it a solid choice for wet or demanding outdoor environments like hunting and bushcraft.

How light is the SOG Ether FX, and can the handle be stripped down further?

At just 60 grams (2.1 oz) with an overall length of 180mm, it's already a compact carry. The skeletonized G10 handle scales are removable, letting you reduce weight and bulk even further when you need the most minimal fixed blade possible — handy as a backup or companion knife on longer trips.

What mounting options does the Kydex sheath support?

The included Kydex sheath features SOG's Universal Mounting System (UMS), which provides versatile carry and attachment options to suit different setups and preferences. This makes it practical for hunters, hikers, and bushcrafters who need flexible placement on packs, belts, or MOLLE-compatible gear.

What grip features does the Ether FX have to improve control during use?

The Ether FX combines several grip-enhancing features: full jimping along the blade spine for thumb control, a dimpled blade face for a secure finger contact point, and textured skeletonized G10 handle scales. Together these give you confident handling during precise or demanding cutting tasks outdoors.
