Model: SOG17410341 • UPC: 729857014144
Compact, visible, and ready for real work—the SOG Aegis FX in Rescue Red with Indigo accents is a purpose-built fixed blade you’ll actually carry. Its 3.70-inch drop-point, plain-edge blade is crafted from 4116 Krupp stainless steel, chosen for high corrosion resistance, reliable toughness, and easy field sharpening. A clean satin finish reduces drag through material and wipes down fast after food prep or wet-weather chores. The lightweight GRN (glass-reinforced nylon) handle sports aggressive texturing and a high-visibility colorway that’s easy to spot at camp, in the truck, or in a tackle box. A secure sheath (included) rounds out the package with safe, multi-position carry on belts and packs.
From camp kitchens and trail maintenance to hunting support and daily utility, the Aegis FX (SOG17410341) offers everyday capability in a compact, confidence-inspiring form factor.
Why the SOG Aegis FX (Rescue Red) Stands Out
Work-Ready 4116 Krupp Stainless
A proven, high-chromium steel that prioritizes stain resistance and toughness while allowing fast touch-ups with basic stones—ideal for outdoor and marine environments.
Satin, Low-Drag Blade Finish
The satin polish slices smoothly through cardboard, rope, and food, and cleans easily after fish cleaning or camp cooking.
Control-Oriented Drop Point, Plain Edge
A centered tip and generous belly deliver precision and strength, while the plain edge excels at clean, controlled slicing and feather sticks.
High-Visibility GRN Handle
The Rescue Red handle with Indigo accents provides all-weather grip with traction texturing, jimping, and ergonomic contours—easy to locate in low light or dense gear.
Carry-Ready Sheath
A durable sheath provides secure retention and multiple mounting options so the knife rides safely and draws smoothly in the field.

Performance You’ll Notice
Easy Maintenance Anywhere

Textured GRN scales, jimping, and ergonomic shaping help keep the knife locked in your hand during wet, cold, or gloved use.

Ideal Use Cases
Trail & Camp: Food prep, cordage, tent stakes, fire prep (tinder & feather sticks).
Fishing & Boating: Braid and mono cutting, bait prep; stainless steel is well-suited for damp environments.
Hunting Support: Field tasks, game processing assistance, and camp chores.
Everyday & Vehicle Kits: Reliable fixed blade with no folding pivot to clog with grit.
Carry & Setup Tips
Dial the Sheath: Mount vertically or with a slight cant on belt or pack straps to match your dominant hand.
Retention Check: Ensure the knife seats positively and draws without snagging; adjust placement as needed.
Practice with Gloves: Rehearse draw and re-sheath motions safely to build muscle memory for cold or wet conditions.
Care & Maintenance
Clean & Dry: Rinse after exposure to salt, citrus, or game fluids; dry thoroughly.
Edge Touch-Ups: Ceramic or diamond stones restore 4116 quickly; finish with a light strop for a hair-splitting edge.
Protective Film: A light coat of food-safe oil helps in humid or marine environments.
Sheath Hygiene: Rinse out grit and let air-dry to protect blade finish and retention.
