When you want a knife that blends sleek styling with everyday practicality, the SOG Adventurer LB Blackout rises to the challenge. This folding knife is designed for those who expect their gear to work hard without adding extra weight or bulk. With its all-black construction, it delivers a discreet, modern look that’s equally at home on the job, in the outdoors, or as part of your daily routine. Lightweight yet dependable, it’s the kind of knife you’ll forget you’re carrying until it’s time to put it to work.
The blade is crafted from 5Cr15Mov stainless steel, measuring 3 inches in length. Known for its resistance to corrosion and ease of maintenance, this steel offers consistent performance for daily cutting tasks. Whether you’re slicing open packages, cutting cord, or tackling light utility jobs, this drop point blade gives you strength, versatility, and control. A black titanium nitride finish enhances durability while adding a smooth, tactical appearance that pairs perfectly with the Blackout theme. The plain edge ensures clean, efficient cuts across a wide range of materials, making it an excellent choice for everyday tasks.
Ease of use is a key feature of this knife. Ambidextrous thumb studs allow quick, one-handed opening for right- and left-handed users alike. Once deployed, the blade locks solidly into place with a classic lockback mechanism. This style of lock is widely appreciated for its reliability, ensuring your knife stays secure during use. When you’re counting on your blade to stay put, the lockback design delivers the confidence you need.
The handle is made from black GFN, or glass-filled nylon, a tough, lightweight material designed to endure repeated use without wearing down. Its ergonomic shape provides a comfortable grip, while the subdued, all-black finish offers a no-nonsense look that’s as functional as it is stylish. A lanyard hole at the end of the handle gives you added carry flexibility, whether you prefer attaching a fob for quick access or threading paracord for personalization.
When it comes to carrying, the Adventurer LB Blackout excels. At just 2.1 ounces, it’s remarkably lightweight, so it won’t weigh down your pocket. Measuring 4.25 inches closed, it disappears easily into your carry without being intrusive. The deep-carry, ambidextrous, tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife discreet, secure, and ready for use, and it can be switched to either side to match your carry preference. At 7.25 inches overall, the knife offers plenty of reach and usability without stepping into oversized territory, making it perfectly suited for daily tasks.
