The SOG Instinct Mini is a compact fixed blade designed for maximum utility in a minimal footprint. With its sleek profile, durable materials, and versatile carry options, it’s the perfect companion for those who want a dependable cutting tool that’s always within reach. Whether you’re navigating your daily routine or heading out for a weekend adventure, the Instinct Mini is built to handle it all with confidence.
At the core of this knife is a 1.9” clip point blade crafted from 5Cr15MoV stainless steel. Known for its corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening, this steel ensures the blade is ready for consistent, reliable performance. The satin finish adds a clean, refined look while resisting wear and reducing glare. A weight-reducing cutout in the blade further enhances the knife’s ultra-light feel without sacrificing strength or functionality.
Measuring just 4.8" overall and weighing a mere 1.6 oz., the Instinct Mini is designed to disappear on your belt, around your neck, or tucked discreetly in your pocket. Its full-tang construction delivers the strength and balance you need in a compact package, ensuring it’s up to the task when it matters most. The .16” blade thickness gives it a solid, confidence-inspiring feel despite its small size.
The handle is fitted with black G-10 scales, offering a secure, textured grip that feels natural in hand. Even in wet or challenging conditions, the G-10 material ensures you’ll maintain control during use. A lanyard hole at the base of the handle provides additional carry or retention options, giving you even more ways to keep the Instinct Mini close at hand.
For carry versatility, the Instinct Mini includes a black Kydex sheath with a belt clip that can be positioned for horizontal or vertical carry. It also comes with a black ball chain lanyard, allowing you to wear it discreetly as a neck knife for fast access. These thoughtful additions make it easy to integrate the knife into your daily carry setup, whether you prefer belt carry or a low-profile neck option.
