## Description

SOG TERMINUS XR POCKET KNIFE Setting a new bar for EDC, the Terminus XR folding knife has an evolved ergonomic shape with SOG’s new smooth XR locking mechanism. No matter how you carry it, the XR is easy to open with 3 different mechanisms. Sporting a SOG-sharp CPM S35VN blade, the knife retains a light weight with its G10 and carbon fiber handle. Sleek and balanced, the Terminus XR pocket knife is your perfect EDC. ABOUT SOG Our story begins in Vietnam, where members of a highly classified US special ops unit - known as MACV-SOG - carried a unique combat knife into the jungle on covert missions. Years later, in 1986, that knife inspired a young designer, named Spencer Frazer, to found SOG Specialty Knives. His mission: to reproduce the original SOG Bowie knife and pay tribute to the special ops unit that created it. What began as a single commemorative model soon became a full line of innovative tools - field-proven by US Special Forces, even honored as the Navy SEAL knife of choice. Today, SOG knives are carried with confidence into the most demanding situations. Forged out of tradition, hardened in the field, honed for you.

Review: Nice pocket knife - First impressions: Nice. Not too big or too small. The grind lines on the blade are even and consistent. The jimping on the back of the blade and the flipper is slightly aggressive, not sharp just aggressive. I may ease it a little with an abrasive buff pad if it seems to be too much. The initial factory sharpening was one of the sharper jobs for a factory edge. It cut paper pretty well. But on a closer look with a 3x magnifying headset the bevel had plainly visible grind lines and only the very edge was buffed. There were also some visible micro chips or divots on the cutting edge. OK, time to sharpen the S35VN blade. I marked the edge bevels with a marker to make it easier to see my progress and angles, then tried a nominal 20 degree edge bevel angle. Yup, the factory edge angle was a nominal 20 degree per side. So I didn't change the bevel angle, just sharpened the blade (for now). It wasn't that bad to do, but I don't know if that is because the steel is on the softer side for S35VN or because I wasn't changing the existing bevel angle or the diamond stones were cutting nicely. Or a combination of all of that. Then I tried a finer 'Sapphire' fine grit stone (1000 grit ceramic stone) and that worked pretty well too. I got the edge up to a 'frosted' look but not a mirror finish and then did a final hone with a leather strop and some stropping compound. The edge looks much nicer, the small edge chips are gone and now the blade is sharp-sharp. Makes a 'sssssnick' sound when cutting paper and cuts MUCH better than the factory edge. You can open the blade with the flipper or the thumb stud or by releasing the lock and 'flicking' it open. The action is pretty smooth, both opening and closing. I'm still not sure about the pocket clip. It is the newer slim black clip but it still has the SOG name in silver and that is easily visible. It grabs the pocket pretty tightly on jeans, I may bend the clip a little to loosen that or remove the clip entirely. Still undecided on this aspect. I tried it placed in my jeans pocket (not clipped to the pocket seam) and it was OK in there. Again, the jimping is aggressive and I think it will pretty quickly chew up the pocket. Now the good and the not so good. The knife bit me. I reached into my jeans pocket to take the knife out and the tip was somehow slightly 'exposed' and out of the handle. I felt a tiny little pressure on my palm and took the knife and my hand out of the pocket. I looked at my palm and there was a straight line about 1/4" long in my palm. Uh-oh, not good. Then some red welled up in the line. That's more not good. Time to apply pressure and find some way to bandage this and hope nothing internal got cut. As best as I can figure, the tip was exposed and punctured my palm. Easily. The blade is sharp and the tip is sharp. Once my hand heals up, I may try the knife more and will update this review if I have anything to add. Summary: Nice size and shape, both the blade and the handle and overall. The weight is good, but it is not a super lightweight knife. Good premium USA S35VN steel (supposed to be anyway). The lock seems good and solid. For under $100 (Prime Day it was less than that, only $70), I think it is a deal. RECOMMENDED 👍
Review: Not too bad? - Thi is my first SOG got it ima great deal here on desertcart so I said why not. Good material S35vn blade steel, combo lament CF & G10 scales. The knife is a little rough around the edges, the stainless steel liners are a little sharp, and the jimping is very aggressive. The detent is a little heavy, but once you break it it’s fine. Overall it’s a solid knife with good materials. I know since GSM Outdoors bought them, there knives have gotten better. It’s a nice little knife for the cost I got it. Soood no blade play smooth action and sharp. Would I have paid full price for it probably not. But what u got it for I don’t mined the cost. Overall I would give it C+ or B if you can catch it on sale.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife
*by A***R on February 7, 2026*

This is a very nice knife. It's the perfect size and is balanced well. Very slim in the pocket. I really didn't think anything was too sharp on the knife except the blade which was razor sharp. Quality and materials are top notch. Easily my favorite EDC knife now.
