Page 3 - SOG Terminus XR LTE Carbon Reviews

The lightest sharpest most useful pocket knife I have ever owned. I purchased a second to have for regular carry knife and one that I could really use heavily without concern about the wear.

Fit and finish is bad, locking mechanism is crooked and hard to engage if left handed. Don’t know how it got passed their quality department.

I bought this as an upgrade to the Terminus XR I have previously purchased. I like the lighter weight it is noticeably less in my pocket which makes a big difference at the end of the day. The XR LTE is my daily carry and receives heavy use day in day out. I love the flipper style action, and the S35VN steel stays sharp.

Very well thought out knife. One of the few that can be easily closed with one hand. Can open three ways, thumb flick, flipper, or wrist flick. Nice looking steel.

Excellent size, weight and quality. Plus the 3 opening options sets it apart from most every other competitor in its class. The combination of features and price make this knife an excellent value (so much so I have 2).

I'd carried a SOG Vulcan for years, and had some specific criteria I wanted in a currently-produced replacement. Flipper for opening, an axis/arc type lock, fairly specific blade length and shape, and a clip that didn't suck. I'd bought a normal version of the Terminus in OD and liked everything except for the clip geometry which was both hard to get out of my pocket and caught everything. So the XR LTEs with their clip far more similar to my Vulcan came out I had another reason to stick with SOG. Zero complaints, it ticked all my boxes, and the reduced weight of the CF scales is a definite perk. And I liked it enough I bought a brass scale one minutes after those were released. I imagine I'll buy a third down the line as a spare in case I lose the thing.

Great for EDC. Good size and weight for any occasion. Blade has retained edge nicely thus far. Easy, one handed open and close.

The Terminus XR LTE Graphite/Carbon Fiber is probably the best EDC you can own as far as size,strength,weight,and deployment.

Updates to this little flipper have been spot on. The new, unobtrusive (and subtly branded) deep carry clip give s the knife a much more refined look. The carbon fiber scales are super strong, light and do not flex (I'm looking at you Bugout), only potential negative is that the scales could get a bit slippery, but hey, it's carbon fiber, it comes with the territory... lock up is tight, pivot is buttery smooth.

IMO this is a perfect EDC knife for the real world- no it's not the most aggressive tactical looking knife in the world, but when you bust it out in the lunch room no one's going to call security. I will carry this wearing a suit, business casual, or jeans-- board room or bar room-- anywhere really. Great looking, great ergos, great steel, and just a touch over 2oz- Bugout killer! Small changes (good on you SOG for listening) make a BIG difference. Great job SOG, I predict this will be a huge hit.

If this was 20 bucks cheaper I'd say it's an instant classic and a no-brainer-- maybe when it hits retail outlets it'll be in the sub-$120 range. I needed a new EDC knife and considering that this is going in my permanent collection, I don't mind paying a little more from the factory. I'm really impressed.
