New 2015 SOG Specialty Knives

Yes, we’re already in April, but the sheer amount of new knives this year means we’re still showcasing them on the blog. The good news is that most of these knives are now on the market, so you don’t have to wait.

This week, we’re looking at the array of new products from SOG Specialty Knives.

SOG Fillet

First up are two new fillet knives: a 6-inch fillet and a 7.5-inch fillet. The steel is 5Cr15MoV. They come with hard-molded nylon sheaths.

SOG Instinct

Next is the SOG Instinct. The most basic version is a compact fixed blade without any handle scales. The overall length is 5.9 inches, and the whole knife has a satin finish. Since it’s meant to offer multiple carry options, there’s a smaller version and two with G10 handles.

It’s praised for its versatility.

The awesome BladeLight Folder gets two smaller versions. The blade on these is only 3 inches long, but it packs some super bright LEDs on either side. It’s suitable for use near water and makes a nice camping knife. There’s a satin and black version of the mini.

Fielder Assisted

The original Fielder has a classic look and feel, but the Fielder Assisted feels a bit more modern. It has G10 slabs against matte aluminum bolsters. The main difference is the assisted-opening mechanism. The blade on the standard Fielder Assisted is 3.5 inches while it’s only 2.75 inches on the mini.

PowerLock Traveler

The PowerLock Traveler is a multitool with a flip opening and locking mechanisms to give it some strength. The Traveler part of the name is because it’s been approved for carry-on according to regulations by the TSA. It comes in a satin and black version.
