SOG Pentagon Blackout OTF Automatic Knife

Pentagon Blackout OTF

The SOG Pentagon Blackout is an out-the-front (OTF) automatic knife, meaning the blade fires straight out of the end of the handle instead of swinging open on a pivot. A thumb slide on the handle face deploys the blade and pulls it back in, so you can open and close it one-handed while the other hand stays busy. SOG designed it for professional, law enforcement and tactical carriers, and the all-black finish keeps it from catching light on a belt or in a pocket.

Features

• Double-Action OTF Mechanism — Push the switch forward to fire the blade and draw it back to retract it, with spring power doing the work in both directions.
• 3.79-Inch Spear Point Blade — The point sits on the blade's centerline, which gives a strong, controllable tip for piercing as well as slicing.
• CRYO CPM S35VN Steel — A powder-metallurgy stainless steel that has been deep-cold treated, chosen for holding an edge while resisting chipping and rust.
• Black Titanium Nitride Finish — A hard ceramic coating over the steel that cuts glare and adds a layer of wear and corrosion protection.
• Dynamic Lock-up System — SOG's self-adjusting lock takes up slack as parts wear, keeping blade play to a minimum over time.
• Hard-Anodized Aluminum Handle — The anodized surface is hardened against scratches, and the scales are knurled with a fine diamond texture for grip with wet or gloved hands.
• Ridged Thumb Slide — The deployment switch has raised contours and a center dish so your thumb finds it by feel.
• Pocket Clip — A black SOG-branded clip at the butt end holds the knife tip-up in a pocket or on a waistband.
• Made In The USA — Manufactured in the United States.
