SOG Tellus FX Full-Sized Fixed Blade Knives 4.2" Full-Tang CRYO 440C Steel Blade GRN Handle UMS Compatible Sheath

Great quality knife made of 440C stainless steel. For those unfamiliar with this particular metal, it has 1% carbon and 17% chromium. Chromium content of 12-13% is typically enough to make a steel stainless, so plenty here in this knife. Unless you store it wet or drop it in the ocean, pretty much rust proof. The size is much bigger than i expected but this is a positive as it makes for a very rugged, robust, and useful knife. Sheath is excellent, but as others noted the belt clip system is overly complicated and adds no value. Handle material feels dense and strong, with no sharp edges biting into your hand. Excellent grip. All three colors are eye pleasing. I’d recommend this knife to anyone who just wants a solid, well made and attractive knife to carry outdoors during hikes or camping. At $40-45 it’s an absolute bargain, considering many cheap knockoff brands sell for twice as much.

I was a little surprised about the large size but it's great to have in the car for emergencies.

Blade is nice and sharp and the handle is very comfortable. The clip mechanism is bad though and hard to get in the correct orientation to carry properly

Very good knife.

Love this knife and bought it 2x

Hands down the worst clip design of any knife I own. I bought this to carry right side horizontal. The bolts stripped immediately and it flexes so that you have to literally bend your belt & wiggle it in there for clip-on/off or run your belt through it to put on or remove. For vertical carry, it sits very high. Forget it if your gut hangs over your belt a bit. Rt side Horizontal carry is out of the picture now that the bolts are stripped and the bolts the two bolts that still have teeth just rotate without using incredibly narrow needle-nose pliers to hold the backside. The depth of the bolts is so minimal, the margin for error is zero, so extra bolts would help or not tightening the bolts at the manufacturer would mitigate this problem. It appears that you can customize it as you’d want to carry it but you ultimately cannot…May not be like this for all consumers but this was my experience with this sheath clip. Close, but no cigar…The sheath itself is fine as the knife clips and hold nicely and the knife itself is just fine. You get what you pay for.

The steel is very hard, not brittle hard but it holds an edge extremely well, it’s not a very “light” knife but it’s not the worst at 6.7oz, and as I was taught ounces = pounds and pounds = pain, but personally I like a heavier knife. All be it, it’s hard for me to not be biased towards any S.O.G. Knife due to them making just such good quality knives, I have owned this knife for about a year and with on and off constant use there are no hot spots on the handle.

A little heavy, but handle ergonomics are great. I wanted to take off the clip but it was put on too tight from the factory and you can’t back out the screws (any of them). It’s an okay knife, kind of sits in a pointless place in my collection but I would recommend if the design speaks to you, it does feel really good in hand. It would be much better if it were just a little lighter but it does feel stout and durable.
