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.

SOG has undergone a major rebranding and it is working. This is not the same SOG, it is a new and extremely improved SOG. The Tellus FX is no exception to this, a new design that's available in a fixed blade (this one) and a folding version. I am impressed enough with this version that I will soon be getting the folder too. The sheath is also an improved redesign, the belt clip is an easy adjust type where you can adjust for regular belt carry to scout carry and almost every angle of carry in between. The knife fits in smugly with barely any wiggle, but still easily removed when you need it. Another positive is how sharp it comes right out of the box, it is extremely shaving sharp. Feels good in the hand, very good ergonomics. All of this for less than $50, crazy value. Can't wait to get my folder.

Great knife. Good steel, better (more stainless) than the alternatives I was looking at for humid environments. I already had good experience with Buck 440c. It came sharp and ready to use. The sheath is good. The fancy clip is bit floppy but no issues with the screws (once I found the proper torx bit). I actually removed the clip and its mounting fixture. This way the knife and sheath are quite slim and carry well in a front pants pocket.

This knife is excellent, and feels great in the hand. The sheath is good, and the knife comes out of it with just the right amount of force. The clip "system" on the sheath is weird. Way over engineered and under manufactured. Yes, it pivots to all positions you might want, but the clip itself is too big, the gap that would slip over a belt is too large so it flops around on your waist, and the way it clips on to your belt or pack makes it a. very hard to get onto your belt, and b. very hard to get back off. It's just a bad over complicated thing that is not particularly sturdy, and hard to use. There's also a lot of plastic in the pivot materials, and I'm bound to jump into the truck and catch this on something and break it. I want to be able to edc this thing, but it's a pain the neck to put on and take off whatever I'm wearing.

Very well made and I really like the sheath design. Innovative clip arrangement. Blade is razor sharp out of the package and the stone wash finish is really nice. Flat grind should be durable as a 440C steel which has been considered a top tier stainless steel for years for all but the most snooty knife-know-it-alls out there. Scales are solid and modestly flat. The knife is not bulky. I have a couple higher-end SOG knifes with hollow grinds, but I feel this one hits a sweet spot where I have a really good knife that I wont be afraid to actually use as intended and worry about damage. Reasonable price is also a plus.

This is a real bummer of a package deal. The knife itself is excellent. It seats well into the sheath although it would be nice for the safety of however you carry this if there was some level of backing to guide the blade into the sheath. I love the heft and balance, especially for the price. Feels wonderful in the hand. The belt clip? loop? orange metal clippy? the heck is this literal nonsense that is completely useless? be prepared to buy a uticlip or something if you want to securely attach this to anything. Really like the knife, not willing to spend the extra cash to make it carry-able. Not super stoked on the color options, but that's just me.. Really sharp out of package as are most SOGs in my experience.

Very nice knife. Sharp and ready to use.

First, for the price it is fantastic. It is taller than the images convey (31mm edge to spine) So it is beefier than it looks. I have/had Esee, Becker, KBar, Cold Steel, Bradford, ect. I prefer steels like M390, CPM3V and M4 but 440C is perfectly. acceptable. For the money, this is a great knife. Feels great in hand, even better through deer skin or shooting gloves. I have ordered two more. The sheath is fine, though the clip design is a bit silly. I do my own Kydex and though not necessary, it is worthy of making a Kydex sheath for. My new budget fixed blade favorite. Only suggestion, make a classic satin blade w black scales/sheath (the gray is nice though).
