TELLUS FX

Great quality knife made of 440C stainless steel. For those unfamiliar with this particular metal, it has 1% carbon and 17% chromium. Chromium content of 12-13% is typically enough to make a steel stainless, so plenty here in this knife. Unless you store it wet or drop it in the ocean, pretty much rust proof. The size is much bigger than i expected but this is a positive as it makes for a very rugged, robust, and useful knife. Sheath is excellent, but as others noted the belt clip system is overly complicated and adds no value. Handle material feels dense and strong, with no sharp edges biting into your hand. Excellent grip. All three colors are eye pleasing. I’d recommend this knife to anyone who just wants a solid, well made and attractive knife to carry outdoors during hikes or camping. At $40-45 it’s an absolute bargain, considering many cheap knockoff brands sell for twice as much.

I purchased this as a camping knife for general camp tasks, I've put it through some testing on my day hikes, and it functions well, I didn't notice any hotspots on my hand after use, it retained its edge and was easy to touch up with a sharpening stone after extended use. the Sheath is decent and I like the fact that it can be used ambidextrous and in multiple positions. I will probably purchase one for my son prior to my next camping trip.

Very well made and I really like the sheath design. Innovative clip arrangement. Blade is razor sharp out of the package and the stone wash finish is really nice. Flat grind should be durable as a 440C steel which has been considered a top tier stainless steel for years for all but the most snooty knife-know-it-alls out there. Scales are solid and modestly flat. The knife is not bulky. I have a couple higher-end SOG knifes with hollow grinds, but I feel this one hits a sweet spot where I have a really good knife that I wont be afraid to actually use as intended and worry about damage. Reasonable price is also a plus.

This knife is excellent, and feels great in the hand. The sheath is good, and the knife comes out of it with just the right amount of force. The clip "system" on the sheath is weird. Way over engineered and under manufactured. Yes, it pivots to all positions you might want, but the clip itself is too big, the gap that would slip over a belt is too large so it flops around on your waist, and the way it clips on to your belt or pack makes it a. very hard to get onto your belt, and b. very hard to get back off. It's just a bad over complicated thing that is not particularly sturdy, and hard to use. There's also a lot of plastic in the pivot materials, and I'm bound to jump into the truck and catch this on something and break it. I want to be able to edc this thing, but it's a pain the neck to put on and take off whatever I'm wearing.

First, for the price it is fantastic. It is taller than the images convey (31mm edge to spine) So it is beefier than it looks. I have/had Esee, Becker, KBar, Cold Steel, Bradford, ect. I prefer steels like M390, CPM3V and M4 but 440C is perfectly. acceptable. For the money, this is a great knife. Feels great in hand, even better through deer skin or shooting gloves. I have ordered two more. The sheath is fine, though the clip design is a bit silly. I do my own Kydex and though not necessary, it is worthy of making a Kydex sheath for. My new budget fixed blade favorite. Only suggestion, make a classic satin blade w black scales/sheath (the gray is nice though).

Great knife. Good steel, better (more stainless) than the alternatives I was looking at for humid environments. I already had good experience with Buck 440c. It came sharp and ready to use. The sheath is good. The fancy clip is bit floppy but no issues with the screws (once I found the proper torx bit). I actually removed the clip and its mounting fixture. This way the knife and sheath are quite slim and carry well in a front pants pocket.

This is a real bummer of a package deal. The knife itself is excellent. It seats well into the sheath although it would be nice for the safety of however you carry this if there was some level of backing to guide the blade into the sheath. I love the heft and balance, especially for the price. Feels wonderful in the hand. The belt clip? loop? orange metal clippy? the heck is this literal nonsense that is completely useless? be prepared to buy a uticlip or something if you want to securely attach this to anything. Really like the knife, not willing to spend the extra cash to make it carry-able. Not super stoked on the color options, but that's just me.. Really sharp out of package as are most SOGs in my experience.

SOG has undergone a major rebranding and it is working. This is not the same SOG, it is a new and extremely improved SOG. The Tellus FX is no exception to this, a new design that's available in a fixed blade (this one) and a folding version. I am impressed enough with this version that I will soon be getting the folder too. The sheath is also an improved redesign, the belt clip is an easy adjust type where you can adjust for regular belt carry to scout carry and almost every angle of carry in between. The knife fits in smugly with barely any wiggle, but still easily removed when you need it. Another positive is how sharp it comes right out of the box, it is extremely shaving sharp. Feels good in the hand, very good ergonomics. All of this for less than $50, crazy value. Can't wait to get my folder.

This knife is of good quality for its price point. I have used it successfully for processing deer, bear, and elk.

Un excelente cuchillo para lo que es. SOG tuvo un acierto para un cuchillo como el Tellus FX, ideal para trabajo pesado, más no intensivo. Para mí que saldo esporádicamente al campo y tengo varios cuchillos, es una opción más que buena.

Compré este cuchillo principalmente por el conocimiento de la marca. Actualmente tengo una colección de casi 100 cuchillos de todas las gamas de calidad. Estadounidenses, españoles, suecos e ingleses, principalmente. Y esa colección la inicié con cuchillos de excelente manufactura de la marca SOG. Al ver que estaba disponible este producto no dudé en adquirirlo. Excelente decisión. Con agradable sorpresa veo que SOG sigue produciendo excelentes cuchillos. Este no es la excepción, y se siente de muy buena calidad de fabricación, muy buenos materiales, buen agarre firme, cómodo y además muy agradable a la vista. La hoja de acero Cryo 440 vino afilada saliendo de la caja, pero con un poco de trabajo con afiladores de carburo de tungsteno y cerámica, se obtuvo un filo realmente soberbio, con una punta extremadamente filosa y puntiaguda. La funda se ve bien y es muy práctica. Por el precio muy accesible adquieres un excelente producto de una marca muy prestigiosa. Lo recomiendo al cien por ciento.

The blade easily earns five stars. It has an excellent stonewashed finish and a sharp, consistent edge, making it particularly effective as a camp knife for food preparation. For bushcraft, its performance is only average—Scandi grinds are generally better suited for wood carving. It’s also not suitable for batoning, as the martensitic stainless steel is too hard to withstand lateral impact; the edge can chip if you try to use it like a chopping axe on hardwood. The handle is comfortable but slightly thin for extended use (over 30 minutes). Hot spots may develop, so a work glove can help. The sheath offers solid retention and protects the blade well. The main drawback is the orange UMS system with the stainless steel clip. While the concept is excellent, the included stainless Torx 8 hardware is poor quality. The bolts won’t stay tight, putting you at real risk of losing the knife. The execution of the UMS clip system is disappointing, and a design flaw like this can create unnecessary safety concerns for users.
