The handle features ample contouring and texturing that provide a comfortable and solid non-slip grip. It’s available in two colorways – Blackout and Flat Dark Earth (FDE). The handle is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and hardcoat anodize d (MIL-A 8625 Type III). Ambidextrous design allows easy operation with either hand. Hard anodized 7075-T6 aluminum hand is easy to hold, even with gloves. SOG Pentagon OTF’s oversized slide button allows for multiple interface points. The Pentagon OTF has an overall length of 9.08” when open and measures 5.28” when closed. The blade has a fuller (often erroneously referred to as a “blood groove’) on each side for added aesthetic appeal. Titanium nitride is a functional coating that protects the blade and provides lubricity. It features a 3.79″ flat-ground plain double-edge spear-point blade made of CRYO CPM ® S35VN stainless steel with a hard, wear-resistant stealthy matte black PVD coating. The SOG Pentagon OTF is a hefty knife that’s built for hard-use duty. If you want to clean out the inside of your knife you can use compressed air. Never put gun oil or any liquid directly into the handle. Tuf-Glide won’t attract dust, dirt or debris or gum up the action, ensuring reliable operation. I recommend the use of a dry lubricant such as SENTRY Tuf-Glide™. Regularly lubricate the blade with a light lubricant. Remove any residue left after cutting before retracting the blade. Maintenance of an OTF knife is really not that different from that of a folder. They’re a great adult fidget toy too, as many who own one will attest. And double-action automatic OTF knives allow for easy one-handed blade closure, as well. They can’t accidentally close on your fingers.
They allow for quick one-handed deployment. This can be critical is self-defense uses. A key advantage is that they allow you to maintain a full, firm grip on the knife during deployment.
DEADLOCK OTF MANUAL
OTF knives have several advantages over side-opening folders, whether manual or automatic.
DEADLOCK OTF FULL
You simply pull the blade to the full extension and then give it a sharp tug to reengage the blade to the deployment track. Resetting the blade is easy and takes only seconds. What will happen is the blade will disengage from its track if it comes in contact with an object while deploying or retracting. The blade doesn’t have enough force during deployment to penetrate through an object. Double-action OTF knives have a mechanism that automatically deploys and retracts the blade. The blade on single-action OTF knives must be manually retracted after deployment. OTF Automatic knives fall into one of two types - single-action and double-action. The double-action is smooth and authoritative. Dynamic locking system ensures secure, rattle-free lockup and no re-calibration.
SOG Pentagon OTF has a 3.79” CPM S35VN double-edge dagger-style blade. SOG was recently acquired by GSM Outdoors. The new SOG Pentagon OTF is a fitting addition to the company’s now extensive line. Named after the elite Vietnam-era Special Forces military group known as the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam - Studies and Observation Group (MACV-SOG), the company’s first knife was a replica of the original MACV-SOG Counter Insurgency Support Office (CISO) issue Bowie knife. SOG was founded in 1986 by designer and toolmaker Spencer Frazer. SOG is no newcomer to the tactical knife game. It’s guaranteed to withstand thousands of openings and closings without blade rattle or the need for factory re-calibration. The Pentagon OTF is engineered with SOG’s patent-pending Dynamic Locking System ™ blade lockup. The Pentagon OTF proves that the wait was well worth it. SOG waited to release one until the company could do it right. It’s SOG’s first OTF knife and was several years in development.įans of SOG knives have been clamoring for the company to come out with an OTF knife.
DEADLOCK OTF PROFESSIONAL
It’s designed with the professional in mind for demanding use. The Pentagon OTF is a new American-made double-action out-the-front (OTF) automatic knife from Studies and Observations Group (SOG). A fundamental part of intelligent behavior is planning. Planning is thinking about a goal and then organizing the activities to achieve the goal. With a plan, you can see how much you have progressed towards your goal and how far on your map to the next destination.
