SOG Kilowatt Folding Knife Black GRN Handle 3.4in AUS-8 Clip Point Blade SOGEL01

The SOG Kilowatt Folding Knife is a hardworking pocket companion designed with electricians, contractors, and serious do-it-yourselfers in mind. Built from the ground up as the first pocket knife engineered around the needs of wire stripping, the Kilowatt delivers far more than a sharp edge—it’s a tool that can step up when the job demands it.

At its core, the Kilowatt features a 3.4-inch clip point blade crafted from AUS-8 stainless steel. Known for its balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening, AUS-8 is a steel you can rely on day in and day out. The satin finish not only reduces glare but also adds a sleek, professional look. With a Rockwell hardness of 57–58, the blade is hard enough to hold an edge under repeated use yet forgiving enough to sharpen without hassle.

What sets the Kilowatt apart are its integrated wire-stripping systems. This knife includes three separate solutions to cover everything from fine multi-strand wires to heavier cable. A dedicated stripper bar handles wire sizes from 10–22 gauge, a spring-loaded UTP/wire stripper is built into the back of the handle, and for added versatility, SOG engineered a patent-pending hole stripper function that makes use of the blade itself. These features make the Kilowatt a unique crossover between a knife and a practical work tool, perfect for professionals who demand efficiency and compact carry.

The handle is crafted from tough black glass-reinforced nylon (GRN), chosen for its lightweight durability and resistance to impact. It features schematic-style grip patterns that improve traction while adding a distinct look. Other details, like the insulator thumb stud and high-voltage tower pocket clip, reinforce the electrical theme and make the Kilowatt stand out in both form and function.

Measuring 7.5 inches overall when open and just 4.1 inches closed, the Kilowatt balances portability with performance. Weighing only 3.3 ounces, it rides comfortably in the pocket without being a burden, and the fixed belt clip ensures secure, low-profile carry. A liner lock provides reliable blade security during use, making this knife as safe as it is practical.

The Kilowatt is more than just a folder—it’s a purpose-built tool for those who work with their hands, combining rugged utility with a bit of clever engineering. Whether you’re stripping cable on the job site or just need a dependable everyday knife, the Kilowatt is ready to keep the lights on.
