Stonewashed 4116 Krupp Stainless Steel • Forest GRN Handle with Moss Accents • Sheath Included
Model: SOG17410241 • UPC: 729857013482
Designed to be the fixed blade you actually carry, the SOG Aegis FX pairs compact dimensions with real capability. Its 3.70-inch drop-point blade is cut from 4116 Krupp stainless steel, a tough, highly corrosion-resistant alloy that sharpens easily in the field. A durable stonewashed finish hides wear and reduces glare, while the ergonomic Forest GRN (glass-reinforced nylon) handle with Moss accents delivers a confident, all-weather grip. The package is finished with a purpose-built sheath for secure, flexible carry on belts or packs.
From camp kitchens to trail fixes, fishing chores, garden duty, and everyday utility, the Aegis FX (SOG17410241) is a lightweight fixed blade that earns its keep every day.
Why the SOG Aegis FX Stands Out
Proven 4116 Krupp Stainless Steel
Balanced for toughness, stain resistance, and quick touch-ups—ideal for outdoor and food-prep tasks where easy maintenance matters.
Stonewashed, Low-Glare Blade
The stonewash finish disguises scuffs from cardboard, rope, and wood while keeping reflections to a minimum for a professional look.
Control-Oriented Drop Point, Plain Edge
A versatile drop-point geometry centers the tip for precision, and the plain edge makes clean slices, feather sticks, and detailed cuts simple.
Forest GRN Handle with Moss Accents
Glass-reinforced nylon scales are light yet durable, with traction texturing and contouring that lock into the hand—wet, cold, or gloved.
Carry-Ready Sheath Included
A secure, low-profile sheath provides positive retention and multi-position mounting so your knife rides exactly where you want it.

Performance You’ll Notice
Easy Maintenance Anywhere
4116 takes a fine edge fast with basic stones or pocket sharpeners, so you can restore bite at camp or in the garage without specialty gear.
Secure Grip in Tough Conditions
The GRN handle’s traction pattern, subtle palm swell, and jimping provide confident control for push cuts, notching, and careful food prep—even when wet.
Everyday Versatility
The plain-edge drop point transitions smoothly from slicing apples and trimming paracord to opening feed bags, cutting irrigation tubing, or breaking down boxes.
Ideal Use Cases
Trail & Camp: Food prep, cordage, tent stakes, fire prep, light carving.
Fishing & Boating: Line and braid cutting, bait prep; stainless steel suits damp environments.
Yard & Shop: Garden ties, packaging, rubber hose, plastic strapping.
Travel/Vehicle Kit: Reliable fixed blade without a folding pivot to clog with grit.
Carry & Setup Tips
Configure the Sheath: Choose vertical or slight-cant carry on belt or lash to MOLLE/pack straps.
Retention Check: Ensure a positive seat and smooth draw; adjust placement for your dominant hand.
Practice with Gloves: Rehearse draw and re-sheath motions while gloved to build safe muscle memory.
Care & Maintenance
Clean & Dry: Rinse after salty/acidic exposure (fish, citrus) and dry thoroughly.
Edge Touch-Ups: Use ceramic or diamond stones; finish with a light strop for a razor edge.
Light Oil: A thin, food-safe oil helps protect the edge in humid climates.
Sheath Hygiene: Rinse out grit and let the sheath air-dry to preserve retention and finish.
