The SOG Traction Clip Point is a lightweight, no-nonsense EDC folding knife that delivers dependable performance in a slim, pocket-friendly package. Designed to be your go-to blade for everyday tasks, this manual folder combines practical features, smart ergonomics, and SOG’s well-known quality—all in a sleek, understated form.
At the core of the Traction is a 3.5-inch clip point blade crafted from 5Cr13MoV stainless steel. This steel is built to resist corrosion and hold a fine edge, making it a reliable choice for everyday cutting needs. The satin finish adds a smooth, clean look that complements the knife’s overall streamlined profile. With its precise tip and curved cutting belly, the clip point blade excels at slicing, piercing, and detail work. Whether you're opening boxes, trimming cord, or handling daily chores, it’s a blade that adapts to the job.
Deployment is simple and intuitive thanks to ambidextrous thumb studs. They’re easy to access with either hand, making the Traction a great choice for left- or right-handed users. Once open, the blade locks securely into place with a classic lockback mechanism—proven, strong, and easy to use. It’s the kind of safety feature that gives you confidence during use, especially when you’re working through tougher materials or applying more pressure.
The handle is made from durable black GRN (glass-reinforced nylon), which offers strength without the weight. Textured for a positive grip, it feels secure in the hand even when wet, while the contours and finger grooves help you maintain control during longer tasks. At 4.5 inches closed and just 2.3 ounces, the Traction is comfortable to carry all day without adding bulk to your pocket or gear.
Carrying the Traction is just as thoughtful as using it. A reversible, low-carry, tip-up pocket clip makes it easy to customize your carry style, keeping the knife discreet and secure no matter how you prefer to wear it. Whether clipped to your pocket, waistband, or pack, the low-profile design ensures it stays out of the way until you need it.
Measuring 8 inches overall with a blade thickness of .1 inch, the SOG Traction strikes an ideal balance between slim and sturdy. It’s built for quick, confident handling and long-lasting performance in a variety of situations. With its practical design and solid construction, this knife is ready to be your everyday backup—at work, around the house, or out on the trail.
The SOG Traction Clip Point is available at the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, and through the best online knife store where selection, service, and speed come together to make your shopping experience second to none.
