The SOG Sideswipe is built for those who want a dependable folding knife that’s ready to go whenever they are.

Whether you’re heading to work, the trail, or anywhere in between, this knife is designed to handle daily cutting tasks with confidence and ease.

At the heart of the Sideswipe is a 3.4-inch clip point blade crafted from 7Cr15 stainless steel. This steel is known for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance, making it a reliable choice for real-world use. With a hardness rating of Rc. 55-57, the blade holds a sharp, straight edge while remaining tough enough for demanding tasks. The bead blasted finish adds a refined, low-profile look while helping to reduce glare and minor surface wear over time.

The clip point blade shape provides outstanding versatility. Its fine tip offers precision for detail work, while the curved belly gives you smooth slicing performance. From opening boxes to handling outdoor chores, the Sideswipe feels natural and efficient in hand.

Security is key in any folding knife, and the Sideswipe features a dependable lockback mechanism. It locks the blade firmly in place during use and releases smoothly when you’re ready to close it. This classic locking system is known for its strength and reliability, giving you peace of mind every time you put the blade to work.

The black aluminum handle keeps the knife lightweight at just 3.5 ounces while maintaining excellent durability. Aluminum offers a solid, confident feel without unnecessary bulk, and its sleek black finish pairs perfectly with the bead blasted blade for a modern, streamlined appearance. The handle’s ergonomic design promotes a comfortable grip, so extended use won’t feel fatiguing.

With an overall length of 9.2 inches when open, the Sideswipe provides plenty of cutting reach while still remaining easy to carry. The reversible low-carry pocket clip allows for discreet, comfortable pocket carry and gives you flexibility for left- or right-handed use. It rides securely and stays accessible when you need it most.

As part of the SideSwipe product family, this folding knife reflects SOG’s commitment to functional design and dependable materials. It’s built to perform without unnecessary flash—just straightforward capability and durability.
