SOG Seal Pup Elite SOGE37TK 4.85" Fixed Blade Knife TiCN Coating

The SOG Seal Pup Elite SOGE37TK delivers tactical-grade cutting performance with its 4.85-inch AUS-8A stainless steel blade and titanium carbonitride coating. This fixed blade knife combines military heritage with modern materials for demanding field applications. The partially serrated clip point design handles both precision cutting and aggressive sawing tasks.

What Makes This Different

The TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride) coating sets this knife apart from standard black oxide finishes, providing superior corrosion resistance and edge retention. While most tactical knives rely on basic powder coating, the hardcase TiCN treatment creates a surface hardness of approximately 85 HRC. The AUS-8A stainless steel core maintains an optimal balance between edge retention and resharpening ease, outperforming many 440C alternatives in salt water environments.

Key Features

• 4.85-inch AUS-8A stainless steel blade with 57-58 HRC hardness rating
• Black TiCN coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and reduced glare
• Partially serrated clip point design optimized for versatile cutting tasks
• Glass-reinforced nylon (GRN) handle with integrated grip lines for secure handling
• Included ballistic nylon sheath with multiple carry options
• Integrated lanyard hole for retention in high-stress situations
• Full tang construction for maximum strength and durability

Field performance testing shows consistent cutting ability through rope, webbing, and wood materials without blade deformation. The 10-inch overall length provides sufficient leverage for batoning tasks while maintaining portability for everyday carry. The GRN handle material resists temperature extremes from -40°F to 180°F without becoming brittle or soft. Law enforcement and military personnel report reliable performance in both desert and maritime environments.
