Sometimes you need a knife that can reduce the bulk without sacrificing its cutting power; that’s why SOG crafted the SlimJim. Sporting one of the slimmest profiles in the market, the SlimJim honors its name with a 0.25” thickness. This profile also helps it keep its overall weight to a mere 2.4oz. But just because it features a slender profile, it doesn’t mean that its performance is compromised. The blade measures a significant 3.18” in its standard form and 4.18” in its XL one. The composition is AUS-8 steel for a formidable performance in camping, fishing, and survival that can remain relatively affordable.
The handles are also entirely metal with a skeletonized build to shave the weight down even more. They also feature grooves and bumps throughout to help enhance grip since metal tends to be more slippery. Inside, you’ll find an assisted opening mechanism for a lightning-fast deployment. Once it’s open, the blade stays in place via a robust back lock. You can choose between a natural, satin, and black colorway for the whole knife and between a clip point or tanto shape for the blade. Once you’re done, you can slide it right into your pocket with its included low-profile pocket clip. Pick one up at the link below.
