Featherweight profile. Full-size performance. The SOG Knives & Tools SlimJim (SJ32-CP) is an ultra-thin, daily-carry folder purpose-built for clean slicing and discreet pocket carry. Its 3.18-inch clip-point blade is crafted from AUS-8 stainless steel and treated with SOG’s Hardcased Black finish for added wear and corrosion resistance with a low-reflective look. A rugged, bead-blasted stainless steel handle keeps weight down without sacrificing rigidity, while the deep-carry pocket clip tucks the knife out of sight until you need it.
If you want a knife that disappears in-pocket but shows up big on performance, the SlimJim SJ32-CP is your sleek, no-bulk solution for everyday utility, travel kits, and ultralight adventures.
Why the SlimJim SJ32-CP Stands Out
Hardcased Black AUS-8 Blade
Proven AUS-8 stainless balances toughness, edge retention, and easy field sharpening. The Hardcased Black finish adds abrasion resistance and muted, tactical styling.
Straight-Edge Precision + Clip-Point Control
The plain edge makes clean, predictable cuts through cardboard, rope, and plastic, while the clip point gives accurate tip control for scoring, piercing, and detail work.
Ultra-Slim, Everyday-Friendly Chassis
The bead-blasted stainless handle is thin yet strong—ideal for business attire, gym shorts, or lightweight backpacking where bulk isn’t welcome.
Secure Lockup, Confident Use
Purpose-built locking mechanism provides solid blade stability during push and draw cuts; a safety switch helps prevent accidental closure in the pocket.
Deep Carry, Low Print
A sturdy pocket/belt clip rides the knife low for discreet EDC and quick access when it’s time to cut.
Always follow local laws regarding knife ownership and carry.
