S.O.G Instinct Fixed Blade Knife 2.30" Satin Polished 5Cr15MoV Steel, Black/Silver G10 Handle, Includes Sheath

The S.O.G Instinct fixed blade knife is a compact, purpose-built carry for hunters, outdoor workers, and anyone who needs a reliable blade within arm's reach. Built around a 2.30" blade of 5Cr15MoV stainless steel with a satin polished finish, the Instinct is designed to be worn, clipped, and carried in multiple configurations—making it genuinely versatile without being oversized or awkward in the field.

What sets the Instinct apart is its flexibility. The G10 handle (black and silver) is shaped for real work, not just display, and pairs durability with secure grip even when wet or gloved. The fixed blade design means no fumbling with folders or mechanisms when you need the knife to work. Multiple carry options come standard: a multi-angle adjustable clip for belt or boot carry, lanyard attachment points for neck carry, and several vest and pack mounting options. This adaptability makes it suitable across a range of users and activities—from camp chores to field dressing to everyday outdoor tasks.

S.O.G engineered the Instinct as a do-it-all compact fixed blade, not a specialty tool. The 5Cr15MoV blade holds an edge well and is straightforward to maintain. At 2.30", it's small enough to carry all day without printing or catching, yet large enough to handle serious work. The satin finish resists glare and shows use without looking abused. A sheath is included, designed to accommodate the various carry options the knife supports.
