SOG SEAL Pup Elite Serrated Black Fixed Blade Knife

AUS-8 is a reliable stainless steel that balances edge retention with corrosion resistance. It is relatively easy to sharpen in the field, which is a significant advantage for a survival tool that may see heavy, extended use.

Yes, the included hard nylon sheath is MOLLE compatible, meaning it can be easily attached to vests, packs, or belts that utilize the MOLLE webbing system.

The spine rasp provides a textured surface for your thumb to rest on, giving you better control during fine cutting tasks. It can also be used for light filing or notching wood when you are building shelter or preparing fire starters.

The Zytel handle features deep finger grooves and scored grip lines designed specifically to maintain traction. Even when wet or muddy, the material provides a secure, non-slip grip that helps prevent the knife from sliding in your hand.

Serrated edges do require a specific tool, such as a tapered diamond rod or a specialized sharpening stone, to maintain properly. While they are slightly more complex to sharpen than a plain edge, they are essential for quickly cutting through tough materials like rope, webbing, or seatbelts.
