The largest and most massive folder ever produced by SOG Specialty Knives & Tools, the limited production Fatcat folding knife (model FC-01) is not intended for the mainstream. It is designed to be exceptional with never-before-seen details such as a dual tone satin and black TiNi-coated blade. Anyone who picks up this knife is amazed at the lightness and quickness, which can be attributed to the solid machined titanium handle.
The Arc-Lock is totally ambidextrous and has all of the attributes knife designers relentlessly search for, but rarely find. Surpassing conventional lock strength, it was tested at over 1000 pounds of force measured at the lock in an independent lab test. The spring-action securely retains the blade closed, and fingers are safely kept clear when unlocking. The Arc-Lock is self-adjusting over time and can be easily cleaned for long term optimal performance. All SOG products are guaranteed against defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the original purchaser.
Caring for Your Folding Knife
Keeping your knife clean, dry, oiled and sharp are the primary defenses against corrosion, wear, and potential injury. Be sure to clean the blade and handle after each use--however, do not soak your knife in water. A mild solution of soap and water should remove any dirt and debris that may have accumulated during use (avoid harsh detergents such as laundry or dish soap, and chlorine products). To remove any debris from inside the handle you can use a toothpick for any visible lint or dirt, or a Q-Tip for smaller amounts of dirt and debris.
After cleaning or after exposure to moisture be sure to completely dry your knife blade and handle, taking special care with any sensitive handle materials. Use a soft cotton cloth or chamois and a small amount of moisture-displacing oil (such as WD-40 or 3-in-1), on the blade only, to prevent water spots and oxidation from forming.
Fingerprints and weather are the primary causes of rusting or corrosion on a knife blade. To keep your knife looking its best, SOG recommends that you give your blade a light coat of oil after each cleaning, and prior to long term storage. Be sure to also apply a Paraffin-based oil to the pivot point, which will not only keep the action of your blade smooth but will repel dirt and debris which could impede the blade's action.

Review : SOG - FATCAT
I have little to add to the detailed review above. This knife is large, but is beautifully made and very functional. Mine opens as smoothly as a custom, and locks up tight. Everyone I have shown it to has commented on how light it feels (compared to how it looks). I have never owned a custom knife with better fit and finish. SOG actually places a protective tape over the bolsters to keep them perfect until bought. (It is easily removed and leaves no trace of adhesive.) The list price may seem high, but its market price is slightly over 3 hundred (Amazon is right on the money). This is about as much a semi-custom knife as a Randall, so its price is not high for the class it competes in. If you plan to wear your Armani, attach it to your belt (by the way a big plus is the clip for the sheath, so it's easy to attach, but stays put). If big is what you want, this is definitely your knife.
I think, explains the few grievance on SOG Specialty Knives & Tools FC-01 Fatcat Knife, Satin and Black TiNi not fitting or leaking.
Hope this SOG Specialty Knives & Tools FC-01 Fatcat Knife, Satin and Black TiNi review was helpful!
