The SOG Instinct NB1012-C delivers precision cutting performance in a compact 2.3-inch fixed blade design. This tactical knife combines 5Cr15MoV stainless steel construction with ergonomic G10 handle scales for reliable field use. The satin-polished clip point blade maintains its edge through demanding tasks while the included sheath provides secure carry options.
What Makes This Different
The Instinct features a full-tang construction that extends through the entire handle assembly, distributing stress evenly across the blade and grip. Unlike folding knives that introduce potential failure points, this fixed blade design eliminates moving parts for maximum reliability. The 5Cr15MoV stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to carbon steel alternatives while maintaining excellent edge retention through heat treatment processes.Key Features
