2002 SOG X42 Field Knife; 5” BG-42 Steel

2002 SOG X 42 Field Knife 5” Blade BG-42 Steel- no longer produced

Per SOG “What would it take to make the ultimate field knife? We think that we have answered this question with the introduction of the X-42 Field Knife. It is constructed from an exotic, stainless steel called BG-42 that custom knife makers have raved about. BG-42 is extremely hard, durable, and takes an incredible edge. The drop point, flat ground blade is perfectly shaped and balanced for hunting, fishing, and camping chores. The full tang handle is a sandwich of Zytel glass reinforced slabs and steel while the finger grips and handle’s geometry provide a secure feel with or without gloves. The X-42 Field Knife’s black leather scabbard is designed for a friction fit with retention strap." Made in USA.

This knife is listed used. I bought it at an estate auction. It shows no obvious signs of use, but judge for yourself. The leather sheath is unique; a fold over leather sheath sandwiched between a riveted protective strip. The X 42 is a well designed outdoors knife, good balance with a performance BG-42 blade.
