SOG Terminus XR G10 Daily Carry Rugged EDC Ambidextrous Pocket Folding Knives | G10 Handle | Wear-Resistant D2 Steel Blade

This is a really good knife for the price. The size is nice, its very fidget friendly, and the blade is tough enough for most peoples needs. I have used it for whittling and it stays sharp. I have other (much more expensive) knives with crossbar locks, but this crossbar lock is the easiest to use. I have read other reviews that complained about the plastic for the lock slide, but it is by far more comfortable than metal stub used on my Kershaw or Kansept knives. For the price, you really can't go wrong. It's a nice knife to have around in your car, kitchen, pocket, or tool box.

Very well made, I have a few SOG knives. Very sharp, fits in the pocket very well.

I liked mine so much that I bought one for my father in law. Its a perfect daily use knife. It has a nice flipper lever and smooth action. The blade is super sharp, but wont hold an edge quite as long as some other materials. I dont mind putting in a couple minutes a month to keep the edge tuned up. I have always gone back to SOG even after trying much more expensive alternatives. Theres something about their engineering that is right in the goldilocks zone.

Good — Blade comes razor sharp (literally shaves hair from arm). And assuming typical D2 hardness, should stay that for awhile (may have to edit this in future).Meh — TheG10 scaling is o’kay, and actual texture feels fairly good in-hand. Though could be a fraction thicker in body; at least 1mm, if not 2mm overall, without it getting too thick for unobtrusive pocket carry. Just a little more body within hand would make it perfect.Bad — the resistance spring to the bar-lock is pretty strong. Strong, though not quite too strong for my nearly 60yo hands. But It’d be way too strong for my over-80yo father. As it is I need to set my hand a certain way to push the bar, then reset the hand for a comfortable carry. Though, depending on your hand strength and size, YMMV.On top of which the serration on the bar are fairly sharp to my, admittedly, non-callused thumb. Maybe if the spring weren’t as strong, the serrations might be o’kay. Or vice-versa. But the two combined make it very uncomfortable to deploy the blade. As is, this is NOT a figgit friendly knife.The pocket clip is pretty thin/narrow. I’m used to my smaller Spyderco knife clips having more width. That , and the good grip G10 handle material has, might be why the knife is pretty hard to deploy/pull clipped from pants pocket. The lack of surface area along with a strong spring makes for a very very tight grip. It really yanks up on the jeans pocket. I think I’m scared to clip it to nicer slacks, which don’t have the rivet reinforced corners to the pockets and are made with more delicate fabric than denim.At least in my hands this is not an easily deployable knife. In fact to make it easier, I reach over with my non-dominant hand to hold down pocket to keep it from riding up when I pull up with my dominant hand. Else I’ve sort of have to yank it back and worth, and up a couple/three times to work the clip off the denim ridge of pocket. My Spyderco and CRKT knives (of which I have 4-5 of each), while usually securely held, smoothly pull out of my pockets one handed (though I admit one or two of them are a little too easy to pull out).But $42 (Black Friday sale) for a D2 bladed G10 scaled SOG knife? Couldn’t pass it up. And the drawbacks aren’t enough, at that price point, I won’t be sending it back.

Great knife for the money. This is now my EDC knife.

Great knife and easy to open and close.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve had this for a couple weeks. I’ve practiced my knife throwing with a couple trees, made a few cuts, and even chucked the knife in the local river. It came out unscathed!This is the best EDC Knife I own, bar none.

I was looking for a small, robust knife and saw this SOG on sale. The unique red G10 handles caught my eye, and the XR lock sold me. The action was smoother and stronger than I anticipated. I love the clip point blade with the Cyro D2 steel, which I feel performs better than the regular D2 I have on other knives Though light, this knife feels sturdy and the ergonomics mean my extra large hands have good purchase on the handle. Very recommendable.
