The Terminus XR is my first SOG and I totally agree with you. I sanded the flipper and thumb studs and wow what a difference. Great EDC.

@cemetarygates82 9 месяцев назад

I just picked one of these up in the D2 version with G-10 scales and can confirm that they have updated the design to tone down the jimping on the flipper as well as changing out the pocket clip for one that is much slimmer and does not have the letter cut-outs. Thanks for the great review!

@andrewengstrom1516 4 года назад

Just got mine - in S35Vn, for an amazing deal at the SOG HQ in Lynnwood WA. Came VERY sharp, and EVERY knife I touched there and bought there (incredible holiday sales) were hair popping. I actually cut myself! I adjusted the pivot just a TINY BIT and got just the smooth I wanted, no play. I liked the stone wash on the crimson D2, but the scales were too meh and I really wanted that carbon fiber. I have NO use for the thumb studs, and they DO NOT work well with the new xr lock. They HAVE fixed the jimping a bit. I find myself just excited to have it. Feels rugged, looks sharp deploys sweetly. I got a Benchmade 940 from my bride - God bless her - but I LOVE FLIPPERS! so, this goes in my work outside pants and is a worker. Love it.

@BenKurth 5 лет назад

Like the knife. Like the coat. Glad you mentioned the brand name and a link. If someone was a OCD minimalist. The SOG XR and iPhone XR would make a great pair. Both destined in the US. Both manufactured and assembled in China. Nevertheless. Looks like I’ll be adding another knife and now a coat to my Christmas list. Thanks for sharing. Great channel. I’ve been looking forward to finding more info on the terminus XR. And you delivered.

@FFPM365 2 года назад

Hey GT, just thought it was worth bringing this blade to light again. They have remade the terminus xr and it’s so good. I picked one up at a bass pro and it’s got an updated low profile pocket clip, cryo d2, and that great xr action for only 50 bucks. The review above pretty much covers it but I was blown away at how fidget friendly the bar-style lock combined with a flipper would be. It’s basically got all the great stuff about a hi-end knife but for 54 bucks. Thinking about checking out their all carbon fiber s35vn version. Hope your travels are still going great!

Great review man! Just got the D2 steel version.. I’ll be doing a review on it very soon! Thanks 🤙🏻🍻👊🏻

@AngelicusEXperiment 3 года назад

I picked one up yesterday in D2, figured it'd be a good backpacking knife. Durable mechanism, good blade design, easy deployment even with gloves on, and high quality materials for about $50 with my employee discount at BPS/Cabela's. For EDC, I prefer liner locks, just because that's what I'm used to, but if I want something for whittling at the foot of a mountain, or digging into a sealed bag, this'll do just fine, and I expect it'll be durable enough to stand in for my fixed blade if I lose it on the hike, as long as I use it a bit more cautiously.

@SanDiegoFreddy 4 года назад

That super smooth and easy blade dropping when you unlock the XR is why there exists a little side to side play when locked. And that’s why the Benchmades don’t have that play. Not a terrible thing at all. Overall great knife and I plan on purchasing one even though I already have a Benchmade 940-1. The XR is an outstanding value.

@calebg7682 5 лет назад

This is the only SOG that has peaked my interest in years. I’d like to get my hands on one of these and try it out.

@calebg7682 5 лет назад

I will say that I think it’s a bit overpriced, though. At around $50, it could be a huge contender that would compete with anything else coming out of China (CIVIVI, Kizer Vanguard, Bestech, etc...). At $70, it has a bit stiffer competition. Still looks like a great knife, but the price is approaching a highly competitive territory.

@gideonstactical 5 лет назад

Caleb Gibson it is but for the steel, and XR lock I am ok with it.

@calebg7682 5 лет назад

gideonstactical Fair points. The XR lock with ball bearings looks awesome. BDZ1, however, is something I’m not familiar with. Honestly, I was excited when I heard they were using something other than AUS-8. However, all the hard data (chemical composition, etc...) I can find makes it appear that BDZ1 (which is not the same as BD1 or BD1N) is very similar to 8Cr13MoV. SOG seems to do a good job heat treating budget steels, though. I’m fine with the steel, just not sure it is worth any more money than AUS-8. Still planning to get one in hand to test it. Thanks for your review on this! I really appreciated it.

Thank you for this video, my Son gifted me one last Christmas, and I absolutely love it. Unlike the one in the video, my blade does not swing freely, and has no play back & forth, or up & down when deployed. My blade did not come dull, but I would not consider it sharp either, and will address that when I can afford a proper sharpening apparatus.

@ymee0 5 лет назад

I had to add a current comment in case anyone is currently looking at this knife. Everything is perfect about this knife except the XR lock. The springs broke in 3 different knives! Two were carbon fiber and came through amazon. One was G10 and came from knife center. I gave up after the third knife and went with a Skyline. I had to change the clip to deep carry, but it's totally worth it! Great knife. This knife has potiential, they just need to get the spring right!

@graydonwilkinson1458 3 года назад

@christiansands7172 4 года назад

I EDC a SOG flash II it's even got a glassbreaker....SOG is underrated imo and the fact they cryogenically treat their blades and hold a contract with the USA Navy Seals plus made right here in the USA says alot to me, I own several of their knives and am seldomly dissatisfied. Great customer service too they really try to go above and beyond.

Serious question I am a knife fan from the UK.

I don't normally post- this is a first for a knife. I really like my SOG XR LTE in S35VN. I've used and abused other SOG XRs in D2 for work, enjoy the way my Benchmade 940-1 feels and cuts, and the XLT has a great feel as well. The price is a good value (great compared to the butterfly tax) for the materials used and, unlike Benchmade, it's a well executed design. As far as the jimping, suck it up Butter cup. Seriously guys, if you actually work with your hands for a living you won't notice it. RU-vid heros be damned.

@adammaultasch6833 5 лет назад

Yea the blade steel for me would be the deal breaker. Wish they would have done one of there San mai blades on the one. Would have been special. I still think the Sog facet ct01 is my favorite Sog knife still to this day.

@farva37 4 года назад

I just got the S35VN version. The flipper is less than great, the cuts are way too sharp. Unlike the blade. (It wouldn’t even cut paper.)I had to adjust the pivot because it was so tight it barely flipped. It still doesn’t want to go sometimes and the “jimping” digs into my finger. Lastly, the clip sucks. It’s big, obtrusive and the letters catch when you try to remove it from your pocket. I’m still undecided as to wether or not I’m going to return it.

@Lex5576 3 года назад

I wish more knife brands would adopt Spyderco's ball bearing lock like the Manix 2 has. When those bad boys lock up, there's a satisfying "snap".........with a Benchmade Axis, you get that annoying "clackity clack, clackity clack", a cheap hollow sound, and the blade will rebound right back out of the handle when you're trying to close it if you swing it too hard. All just so Benchmade snobs can boast their blade swings so smooth.

generally I like this knife but I own too many knives not to be picky. 2 things that out of the box I’m not loving. 1- no big deal but it was not to my “sharp standards” but easily tuned up. 2- least favorite pocket clip I own and I don’t see any way for me modify that. Grabs the pocket ok going in, ok while in the hand using, but removing this knife from my pocket is just harder than it needs to be, my biggest ding on this knife. I wont buy another SOG with this style of clip there are just too many other knives to pick from.

I still use my old xl but can’t any longer promote anyone buying a newer one.they are past their best work.I have 3old xl’s and two mini’s all old,when they were awesome.sry can’t trust them .they made me look stupid to my kids for propping up a bad Christmas present.😢

Barry Bueler Love my spyderco knives esp the leaf shaped blades.... But did you ever notice the spyderco symbol has the same geometry as a star of david/seal of soloman /hexagram occult symbol of saturn? ..... the top of the star even peaks out cheekily at the spider pincers/legs...

Check out the domino a flipper cts cup steel leaf shaped blade one of my favorite I also wanna get the Yojimbo 2 but in a sprint run just bored of s30v it’s good but I have like 10 knives in it missed out on the 20 cv version sure I could get it for $200 but I’ll just wait I definitely wanna get all spyderco’s American made blades the Yojimbo 2 is the last one I can think of I believe it’s American made

Not quite a Ganzo, at 2 to 3 times the price.

is this benchmade bugout killer?

@southernknivesandoutdoors322 5 лет назад

ChillerHR I think so. The only thing going for the bugout is ultralight and s30v steel but I never liked the bugout to much. It just feels like a $5 knife from a gas station.

Now that it's available with s35vn it is. The LTE (carbon fiber liners instead of steel) I'd say beats the hell out of a LOT of benchmade's lineup.

I don't understand why SOG always gets shit for value for the money. I read that people won't pay $100 for a vg-10 blade made in seki Japan cause they think it's too expensive for that steel.... But I never hear anyone complain about Spyderco vg-10 and they charge for their seki Japan knives so much more money almost $200 for one.... They delica from Spyderco is around $80 or more and the visionary 1 you can find for $60 with vg-10 and tini coating with an arc lock.... If Spyderco made a vg-10 blade that's 4" like SOG has I promise you it will not be at that price range... I got a SOG vision arc for a deal but the original price is $100. I read people think it's expensive for vg10 lol I don't understand this. Sog really gives you a deal with their products and the seki SOG are top quality. I used to install security cameras for the store that sells military and police their gear and only auto Sogs and seki Sogs where there and most customers carried sogs instead of the other good brands they had including Spyderco.. Be aware of others trying to give their own opinion of what they think is value and just do research on your own cause what's trash for someone else might be perfect for you.
