The SOG Recondo FX delivers reliable cutting performance with its 4.6-inch cryo-treated 440C stainless steel blade and tactical ergonomics. This full-tang fixed blade combines military-grade construction with practical field utility for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts.
What Makes This Different
The Recondo FX features cryo-treated 440C stainless steel that undergoes sub-zero tempering to increase hardness and edge retention beyond standard heat treatment. The titanium nitride coating provides superior corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting tasks. Unlike basic fixed blades, the full-tang construction extends through the entire handle for maximum strength and durability under stress.
Key Features
- 4.6-inch cryo-treated 440C stainless steel blade with enhanced hardness
- Titanium nitride (TiNi) coating for corrosion resistance and reduced friction
- Full-tang construction for maximum structural integrity
- FDE overmolded GRN handle provides secure grip in wet conditions
- Plain edge design optimized for utility cutting tasks
- Satin finish reduces glare and maintenance requirements
- Fixed blade design eliminates mechanical failure points
Field performance centers on the blade's ability to maintain sharpness through extended use while resisting corrosion in harsh environments. The 440C steel composition balances edge retention with ease of sharpening, making it suitable for tactical applications, camping, and general utility work. The overmolded handle maintains grip security even when wet or worn with gloves.
