I just got a SOG Baton Q2 knife in the mail today. I think this is going to become my new everyday carry, I really like the design.

It is essentially a fixed blade folding knife, which you would think is a contradiction. But the knife blade and handle themselves are fix and its actually the sheath that folds down and away. I never saw a knife like this before. I generally dont like folding knives as they can under certain circumstances fold on you while using them and potentially cause a huge injury. But fixed blade knives tend to be big and not really well suited as an every day carry. This one seems to solve that problem giving you the convenience and size of a foldable knife while still being fixed blade.

Really really impressed with the innovation on this knife considering knives are so rarely innovative.

@freemo How does it give you the size of a foldable knife while still being a fixed blade? Unless the knife as a whole is even smaller than a normal foldable knife?

@trinsec well it is much thinner than a typical folbable blade, but also much longer. so while the volume is about the same the overall length is probably twice that of a folding knife with the same blade size.
