{"product_id":"sog-stout-flk-folding-knife","title":"SOG Stout FLK Folding Knife","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: normal !important;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from a collaboration between SOG founder Spencer Frazer and renowned Danish custom knifemaker Mikkel Willumsen, the \u003cstrong\u003eSOG Stout FLK Folding Knife\u003c\/strong\u003e is a purpose-built EDC folder that punches well above its compact dimensions. The FLK sits at a closed length of 95.8mm and a total weight of just 116g, making it genuinely pocketable without sacrificing the rigidity and steel quality you'd expect from a serious working knife. At its heart is a 66mm clip point blade ground from CRYO D2 tool steel, cryogenically heat-treated to SOG's own specifications to land a Rockwell hardness of 58-60 HRC, a sweet spot that balances meaningful edge retention with the toughness needed for everyday hard use. The result is a knife that carries the DNA of a custom collaboration but is built to be carried, used, and relied upon day in and day out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSOG Stout FLK Folding Knife Key Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel - CRYO D2 Tool Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel well regarded for its wear resistance and edge-holding ability. SOG's cryogenic heat treatment process refines the steel's grain structure to push performance to 58-60 HRC, delivering a blade that stays sharper for longer under real working conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Geometry - 66mm Clip Point, 3.8mm Thick:\u003c\/strong\u003e The clip point profile offers a fine, controllable tip well suited to detail work and general cutting tasks. At 3.8mm thick, the blade has genuine backbone without being unwieldy, and the straight edge makes field sharpening straightforward.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Finish - Stonewash:\u003c\/strong\u003e The stonewash finish reduces surface friction for smoother cutting performance, and the matte, scuffed appearance resists showing everyday scratches and wear, keeping the knife looking presentable with minimal maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Construction - G10 and Stainless Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e The handle combines G10 fiberglass laminate scales with a stainless steel liner, delivering a grip that is both lightweight and exceptionally rigid. G10 is impervious to moisture, temperature extremes, and most chemicals, making it a reliable handle material for outdoor and working use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Mechanism - Frame Lock:\u003c\/strong\u003e The frame lock uses a portion of the handle's steel liner to lock the blade open, providing a secure, mechanical lock-up with a minimal parts count. It is a proven, field-reliable system that is easy to operate single-handed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpening Mechanism - Thumb Hole and Kick:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual opening options via a thumb hole and a blade kick allow for fast, ambidextrous deployment to suit left or right-handed carry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePocket Clip - Reversible Deep-Carry, Tip-Up:\u003c\/strong\u003e The deep-carry clip positions the knife low in the pocket so only the clip is visible, keeping a low profile during everyday carry.
