SOG Pentagon OTF Blackout Knife 3.79" Blade Black

The SOG Pentagon OTF Blackout Knife is a purpose-built automatic deployment blade designed for tactical professionals, law enforcement, and military personnel who demand fast, reliable access to a cutting tool under high-stress conditions. Out-of-the-front (OTF) mechanisms excel in situations where one-handed rapid deployment is critical—vehicle extractions, equipment cutting, or emergency response scenarios where split seconds matter.

This blackout configuration eliminates reflective surfaces, making it ideal for covert operations and low-light environments. Built by SOG Specialty Knives, a manufacturer with deep roots in military and law enforcement supply, the 3.79-inch blade provides sufficient cutting length for utility tasks while maintaining a compact closed profile of 5 inches. The double-action mechanism (thumb slide activation) enables both rapid deployment and safe retraction, a critical feature for retention and safety in dynamic environments.

Operators in military units, SWAT teams, and first-responder roles benefit most from OTF knives during equipment deployment, technical rescue, and situational response. The compact 0.65-pound weight ensures minimal gear burden during extended operations or duty carry. Double-action designs are legal in most jurisdictions where single-action OTFs face restrictions, making this configuration suitable for a wide range of tactical applications.
