When a knife has to earn its keep in the field day after day, the details matter. The SOG Recondo FX Knife is a purpose-built fixed blade designed around the demands of working outdoors in tough conditions, delivering a robust and reliable tool that handles everything from camp tasks and food prep to demanding bush work. At 9.6 inches (24.4cm) overall with a 4.6 inch (11.7cm) clip point blade, it sits in a highly practical size class — long enough for serious work, compact enough to carry comfortably. The Recondo FX is built without compromise, pairing premium steel and a full-tang construction with a retention system that keeps pace with how seriously you use it.
SOG Recondo FX Knife Key Features
- Blade Steel: CRYO 440C stainless steel, cryogenically treated to achieve a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58-60. Cryo treatment refines the grain structure of the steel, improving edge retention and overall toughness compared to conventionally heat-treated 440C.
- Black Titanium Nitride (TiNi) Finish: A hard physical vapour deposition coating applied to the blade surface. TiNi significantly increases surface hardness and provides outstanding resistance to corrosion and wear, particularly useful in wet or coastal environments.
- Clip Point Blade Shape: The classic clip point profile offers a controllable, fine tip suited to detail work and piercing tasks, with enough belly for slicing. Blade thickness is 0.16 inches (4.1mm), giving a solid cross-section without adding unnecessary weight.
- Full-Tang Construction: The blade steel runs the full length of the handle, meaning the knife is one continuous piece of metal. This eliminates any weak joint between blade and handle and is the most structurally sound configuration available in a fixed blade.
- Overmolded Rubberized Grip: The handle material is moulded directly over the tang, creating a secure, textured grip that maintains control across wet, bloody, or muddy conditions. The ergonomic shaping accommodates multiple grip angles without fatigue.
- Kydex Sheath with UMS Compatibility: The injection-moulded Kydex sheath is ambidextrous and compatible with SOG's Universal Mounting System (UMS), allowing for a wide range of carry configurations and mounting positions to suit different pack setups and preferences.
- Tool-Less Tension Adjustment: The sheath retention can be dialled in without any tools, so you can set the draw pressure to exactly what suits you in the field. Tighter for active movement, easier release for quick access — adjusted on the fly.
- Overall Dimensions and Weight: Overall length 9.6 inches (24.4cm), blade length 4.6 inches (11.7cm), weight 5.3 oz (150g). A practical carry weight that won't be noticed on a full kit.
The SOG Recondo FX is a serious fixed blade that earns its place on the belt. Whether you're heading out for a hunt, working a property, or spending extended time in the field, it delivers the steel quality, retention system, and grip reliability that a working knife demands.
What steel is the SOG Recondo FX blade made from, and how hard is it?
The Recondo FX uses CRYO 440C stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58–60. This heat treatment process results in outstanding corrosion and wear resistance, making it well suited to demanding environments where edge retention and durability are priorities.
What mounting options does the Kydex sheath support?
The included Kydex sheath is UMS-compatible and ambidextrous, offering multiple mounting configurations to suit different carry preferences. It also features a tool-less tension adjustment system, so you can fine-tune the draw resistance without needing any extra equipment — a practical feature for uniformed professionals in the field.
How does the handle grip perform in wet or difficult conditions?
The handle is made from rubberized material with an overmolded grip design, allowing for secure holds at multiple angles across a wide range of environments, including wet or slippery conditions. Combined with full-tang construction, the handle provides solid stability and control during heavy use.
What are the key dimensions and weight of the Recondo FX?
The Recondo FX has an overall length of 9.6 inches, a 4.6-inch clip point blade with a 0.16-inch thickness, and weighs 5.3 oz. The black Titanium Nitride (TiNi) blade finish adds an extra layer of corrosion and wear resistance while giving it a low-profile appearance.
