SOG Terminus XR - S35VN, Black, Ambidextrous, Manual

I have bought every single iteration of this knife platform I'm able to find this far. Not only is it great, but it makes the bug out and most Spyderco folders look like junk....they are. Not only is this platform reliable and durable but it's deployable in 4 ways or more!! The build quality is stupendous for such a cheaply priced knife! I really think the knife community really needs to relook at this whole design platform harder...sog knocked it out of the park with this and I love it! In a world where you have Spyderco and Benchmade junk that's overpriced with questionable quality sog is a fresh breath of air!

The S35VN blade is beautiful and sharp right out of the box. Lock up and action are great with a smooth operation. Only reason for the 4 stars is the CF scales make it feel cheap in the hand and slippery even with the grooves cut. Looks are awesome but the feel wasn’t there.

SOG is one of the knives I've ever owned and the only knife I'll buy any more.

Nice EDC folder, very sharp, beautiful, and very solid with a good feel in the hand. It's predecessor was lighter and thinner, but perhaps too thin. With that knife the blade started to wobble after extended use. This knife won't do that, it has two metal strips for the handle supported by G10 and carbon fiber. The blade is very sharp though in general I tend to prefer D2.

I had the Terminus XR with the softer metal and green g10 scales and I loved that knife. Lost it in the woods 😔 and bought this as a replacement. Handles just as well. Action is buttery smooth. Best of all the s35vn steel is so much better at cutting / edge retention. Absolutely worth the extra $40 in my opinion. Now that I've seen what all the hype is about I doubt I could ever go back. The G10 scales are a little unrefined with harsher edges then I would like but I imagine that's what keeps the price down. New favorite amongst my collection and this is certainly one of the cheaper ones I own. Another banger from SOG. 👍

Excellent knife, perfect size for everyday carry and works flawlessly

Excellent delivery time ,very helpful customer rep and a all around great product

This version is the best value of all the Terminus XR variants. Love the blade and scale upgrades over the G10/D2 version, sharp out of the box, multiple deployments. ALL 3 variants of the Terminus XR come gritty and poor action out of the box, but smooth out after an hour of fidgeting with them. Carbon fiber is also sharp on several corners on both variants I got and should be smoothed/sanded down for a better experience. If you're used to other crossbar locks, this one is different with how the detent/XR lock works and pulls in/pushes out the blade since it has a flipper. Overall a good value for the offering

I like this knife. It's light and came sharp. I like the feel in hand and the jimping on the top of the blade. I normally prefer something slightly larger. I use my knives mostly for packaging and banding in a shipping/receiving job. Overall recommended.

Awesome knife for the price is for it for. A little sharp edges on the handle but great for the price
