An impressive locking system paired with cutting edge construction make the SOG Spec Elite I one of the toughest knives in SOG’s lineup. The Spec Elite I is an incredibly durable folding knife.
The Spec Elite I’s state-of-the-art VG-10 blade yields the hardness of a carbon steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless. The 4″ modified drop point blade design is useful for anything from cutting zip ties to fending off the enemy. SOG tells us the “”Spec Elite series is designed as a backup and go-to tool for military and law enforcement personnel,” which is demonstrated in its ambidextrous thumb studs and lock operation. They allow the knife to be used easily and with only one hand.
The Spec Elite I features the Arc-Lock locking mechanism. SOG laboratory tested the Arc-Lock system and found it capable of holding up to more than half a ton of force. The Arc-Lock gives the Spec Elite I the same durability as a fixed blade knife, but puts it in an easy to carry folder.
