About SOG
SOG (Specialty Knives & Tools) is a brand with a long tradition of manufacturing robust and reliable knives.
Character and philosophy
The design of the SOG Hidaka FX is based on a philosophy of strength, durability, and practicality. This is a knife that will not let you down when you need a sharp blade for heavy cutting and splitting tasks or when working with wood, ropes, or other demanding materials.
The drop point blade with a fine satin finish is shaped for maximum versatility—it is excellent for both precise cuts and heavy use with the tip and spine of the blade. CPM‑3V is one of the best steels for fixed blade knives overall—it offers extreme wear resistance, high toughness, and the ability to hold an edge for a long time even under hard use.
The ergonomic green Micarta handle provides a secure grip in every situation. Micarta is resistant to moisture, oils, and impacts, and together with the precisely shaped ergonomics it ensures comfort even during extended work.
The full-tang construction guarantees maximum strength and stability, so the Hidaka FX feels like a single solid piece—with no weak points. This knife is a true workhorse that can handle challenges far beyond what ordinary knives can manage.
