The SOG Altair FX delivers precision cutting performance with advanced metallurgy and ergonomic design. This fixed blade knife combines CPM 154 stainless steel with TiCN coating for superior edge retention and corrosion resistance.
What Makes This Different
The Altair FX features cryogenically treated CPM 154 steel, a premium powder metallurgy stainless that outperforms standard 440C by 15-20% in edge retention testing. The TiCN (Titanium Carbo-Nitride) coating adds surface hardness up to 85 HRC while maintaining the blade's flexibility. Unlike basic tactical knives with simple heat treatment, this blade undergoes sub-zero tempering for refined grain structure and enhanced toughness.Key Features
