SOG Contractor

It can take a while but eventually you’ll find the pocket knife that’ll become a lifelong friend. So perchance you’re still looking here it is in the shape of the Contractor IV, one of SOG’s superbly made Industrial range of hard working knives. With a range of styles, each one specifically targeted at a range of trades, the most universally popular is the Contractor IV, the Hawksbill blade design suitable for a wide variety of purposes. Being one of SOG’s products the quality of construction really is without question, the maker’s working knives able to draw directly on their military knife technology and production.

Measuring 4¼” in length when folded and 7¼” when opened the SOG embossed G10 steel lined handle offers excellent levels of grip even when wet whilst a lanyard hole offers the user greater levels of tethered security. The 2¾” stainless steel blade is hollow ground, the razor sharp cutting surface culminating at a steep, downward point, the blade held securely in place via a substantial back lock mechanism. Easy opening is achieved deployed courtesy of a large, grippy thumb stud.

One of the oldest designs around, the style harking back to Roman times, the curvature of the blade usually means the point is rarely pointing forwards. A knife that’s been conceived for one handed use, the Sheepfoot blade is perfectly suited to pruning, grafting, precise cutting of fabrics and plastic sheeting, carving along with jobs where precise pressure needs to be applied. Reason being the overall size of the knife and style of the blade allows for easy, accurate control of the knife’s movement meaning the user can direct the depth and length of the cut with a far greater degree of accuracy than with a more conventional blade.

One of the most useful knives you’re likely to ever own, the SOG Contractor IV is imported by Highland Outdoors who can be contacted on 0845 0990252.
