The SOG Stout FLK delivers maximum cutting power in a compact folding design, combining the aggressive geometry of a cleaver with the portability of a tactical folder. This 2.40-inch blade transforms everyday cutting tasks with its unique profile and premium D2 steel construction.
What Makes This Different
The cleaver-style blade profile sets the Stout FLK apart from traditional folding knives, providing significantly more cutting surface and chopping capability in a pocket-friendly format. D2 tool steel offers superior edge retention compared to standard stainless options, maintaining sharpness through extended use. The hybrid G10 and stainless steel handle construction balances lightweight carry with structural integrity under heavy use.
Key Features
- 2.40-inch D2 tool steel blade with plain satin finish for corrosion resistance
- Cleaver-style blade geometry maximizes cutting efficiency and food prep capability
- Black textured G10 scales with stainless steel liners for durability

Field testing demonstrates the Stout FLK excels in food preparation, utility cutting, and outdoor tasks where traditional blade shapes fall short. The cleaver profile generates more force per cut, reducing effort required for tough materials. Weather resistance comes from the satin finish and G10 handle materials that resist moisture and temperature extremes.
