The SOG Stout FLK delivers precision cutting performance in a compact folding design that fits seamlessly into everyday carry rotations. This 2.10-inch folding cleaver combines the durability of cryo-treated D2 steel with ergonomic G10 construction for reliable field performance.
What Makes This Different
The Stout FLK features a unique cleaver-style blade profile that maximizes cutting surface area while maintaining the portability of a folding design. The cryo-treated D2 steel undergoes sub-zero temperature treatment to enhance edge retention and structural integrity beyond standard heat treatment processes. This stonewashed finish reduces glare and provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to polished blade surfaces.
Key Features
- 2.10-inch cryo-treated D2 steel blade with stonewashed finish for superior edge retention
- OD Green textured G10 handle scales with stainless steel liners for secure grip
- Cleaver-style blade geometry optimizes cutting efficiency for utility tasks
- Folding mechanism reduces overall carry length while protecting blade edge
- Textured handle surface maintains control in wet or gloved conditions
- Presentation box included for storage and gift presentation
- Compact profile suitable for pocket carry and EDC applications
Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across cutting tasks from food preparation to cordage work. The D2 steel composition maintains sharpness through extended use cycles while the G10 handle material resists environmental degradation. The cleaver profile concentrates force effectively for chopping motions while the folding design enables safe transport.
