SOG Tellus ATK Clip Point Framelock Knife

Description

The SOG Tellus ATK pairs a 3.5-inch stonewashed 440C clip point blade with a glass-reinforced nylon handle and a frame lock.

440C was for decades the benchmark stainless in production knives, and it still earns its place: high chromium for corrosion resistance and enough carbon to take a fine edge, with the advantage of sharpening back without special abrasives. The clip point drops the tip below the spine for control while leaving a long belly behind it, which is why it suits both detail work and general slicing. Glass-reinforced nylon keeps the weight low, and stonewashing means the blade arrives already textured so use marks disappear into the finish rather than showing.

A frame lock uses the handle slab itself as the locking bar, so there is no separate liner inside. That makes for a simpler knife with fewer parts and a lockup that grows tighter under pressure rather than looser.
