Page 2 - SOG Terminus XR LTE Carbon Reviews

The Gold TiNi was my first SOG knife purchase. I've since purchased the dark grey TiNi, S35VN, and two fo the black G10.
Four ways to open the knife = awesome! Fit and finish is excellent for this price point. Carbon fiber frame is next level!
S35VN steel is perfect for EDC and back packing. Bearing action is the best I've found for this price point.
SOG always interrested me mainly due to thier story. In the past the knives never really grabbed me enough to drop the money but now since the pivot and the new SOG era designs have really got my attention and now I own several!

Great knife, perfect for everyday carry. Another great product that I have got to experience.
Thanks

Perfect daily cary - light weight - no sharp edges when putting your hand into your pocket.

Size too small for my hand, but beautiful and functionally perfect

Perfect in every way except overall very thick. It is so wide I notice it in my pocket a lot more than the Kershaw Leek. Great blade, and mechanism for opening and closing. Very glad to have it.

Got this for $ 115 bucks, great deal on a great knife. It's very sharp already and really light to carry, hardly know it's in my pocket. Buy it, you wont be disapponted.

Great knife. Perfect edc. Razor sharp ergos are phenomenal

Excellent knife, great customer service, nice alternative to the SOG Trident mini which was discontinued!

Received this as a birthday gift in August. It has replaced an older SOG as my EDC and love the upgrade. Very light and sloid. Recommended.

I love this knife. I just got into pocket knives and started with the bugout and mini-bugout. I love the bugout but it is a bit small - this Terminus is almost as light, but slightly more substantial in the hand, while still being extremely lightweight, and carrying very easily in my pockets. I love it.

Great EDC choice. Lite but sturdy. Like the flipper!

I’ve had this knife four days and I’ve fidgeted with it opening and closing hundreds of times. At first it was nearly impossible to open with the thumb stud or lock and a flip. The flipper tab failed to open completely most of the time. I oiled it a lot and found I could open it using the thumb tab and flipper tab at the same time; like spinning a top. It has loosened up considerably. The excess oil that has dripped out is dirty and feels gritty. The knife is light and the blade is sharp. The handle is box like; there is no contouring to its design. The edges of the liners are not rounded or smooth; they feel sharp to the touch. The lock springs are strong and hard to pull. The lock tabs feel like they’re riding on sandpaper. The angle on the back end of blade allowing the lock bar to hold it closed needs to be adjusted so it doesn’t require as much force.

I really want to like this knife because it is going to be my edc. I don’t want to sound like a “brand” snob, but it isn’t in the same league as my mini griptilian. There is no comparison to the smoothness of my grip when opening. Though its just cosmetic, the contouring of my grip handle gives it a feel of elegance. It does have a significant advantage over my other knives. I can’t carry a blade over 3 inches long. Most knives with shorter blades have shorter handles to go with them. My grip’s blade is just a little shorter, but the handle is 1/2 inch shorter. That extra length in the terminus handle makes a big difference in the way it feels in my hand.

This knife has a great weight for EDC, and both opening/closing is seamless. Kudos!

So light you forget you have it. Great quality. Can’t stop opening and closing.

I've been looking for a light weight, sharp, flipper pocket knife and found what I was looking for. Highly recommended for EDC knife.

Pros: Very streamlined comfortable for the pocket. Light weight. Cons: Finger release is not easy to work with. Pull mechanism is tight. Doesn’t flow like other Sog knives I’ve had

I bought 3 of these one by one as the new steels and materials came out. I love them all, but this TERMINUS XR LTE with CF is impressive. These knives have an incredibly long break in time but once dialed in they are amazing; I will say they are not too far off from the box, it is simply an intricate design.

Hello,
just unpacked brand new knife bought because of a positive review on everydaycommentary.

Unfortunately, I find that no matter whether the knife is open or closed, moving parts jingle when you move the knive back and forth. I think this is the locking mechanism.
I do not have this effect with my other knives (ZT, Spycerco, Benchmade).
Is this normal or can it be eliminated?
Regards

I wanted a knife I could carry wearing shorts that wouldn’t weigh much. This is an Awesome knife. So light I forget it’s there. Came a little stiff but after a couple weeks opening and closing it, It is really smooth now. Holds an edge amazingly well. Easy to sharpen. I use a lansky diamond sharpening system and a couple times on Both sides it is razor sharp. I now carry this more than my benchmade

An elegant knife for EDC. It is extremely light and easy to carry. The carbon fiber scales give it a very upscale look. If they (the scales) have a down side it is they are very smooth and I find getting a good grip to retrieve the knife a bit tricky. Should get better with practice.
