Great edc
I carry at least 3 knives on me a day. This is one of them and I must say very well built. If you are considering this knife don’t hesitate.
Nice for the Money
Gritty feeling lock out of the box, would hang up in spots during opening and closing. For some, that'd knock off a star on this review, but I didn't mind taking it apart and cleaning everything.
It had dirt and grit in the bearings. I cleaned everything gently, oiled the bearings and put it back together. Adjusted the pivot and now it swings beautifully, is perfectly centered,…

and not a hint of blade play.
It's a lot of fun, very fidgety and intuitive to use. Blade grind was a little uneven, but plenty sharp. Great deep carry pocket clip. Handles have that great micarta feel. Cool knife! The one I'm reviewing is the Terminus XR Blade HQ exclusive green micarta w/ black d2 blade for $46.99.
Needs work
I wanted to really like it. Still want to. Unfortunately, out of the box it needed work. I couldn’t get the action to fire right. Didn’t matter if it was flipper or thumb stud. Felt like dirt or mud was stuck in the pivot. Decided to disassemble, clean, and oil everything. Works better now. Shouldn’t be an issue straight out of the box. Probably my last SOG purchase.
I wish I could give 1/2 stars. 3.5 out of 5 for me.
This is such a good looking knife that I purchased it the second I saw it listed. Being my introduction into SOG knives, I was almost disappointed when it arrived.
Pros:
- Micarta is good quality.
- Handsome knife
- Solid construction
- Good even grind
- Decent action (after spending 40 minutes breaking it in)
Cons:
- Out of the box, was almost…

non functional
- thumb stud sucks
- "weak" pocket clip
The micarta is done well and the fit and finish seemed to be pretty good a budget knife. Functionality out of the box, for me at least, was terrible; so much so that I almost immediately returned in.
The XR lock would not properly engage, and kept getting "snagged" up something. It basically felt like the pivot was made out of sand paper, or like the knife was buried in mud for a year. I couldn't get the action to fire properly using either the flipper tab, or the thumb stud (which I do not like, and will be sequentially replacing). Every time I would try to deploy the blade it would only open from 50% to 75%.
After working the action for about 40 minutes, I was finally able to get it to work somewhat to my liking. It actually took me partially disassembling the knife to get it to function properly. It does work pretty flawlessly now, but you shouldn't have to do that.
I see a lot of people complaining about the "billboard" of a pocket clip. That does not bother me. What does though is the flex in clip itself. While it is secured very snuggly, the clip does seem to flex side to side.
My next issue is just me being a little nitpicky. The factory grind is almost perfect with just a tad too much of a blade heel at the sharpening choil. That's nothing you can't fix with a quick re-profiling.
All in all it seems like I'm hating on this guy a little too much. It really is a good knife, but I probably will never buy a never product from SOG.
More than a new look
I saw the Nick S. Review of this knife and wasn’t wowed especially after hearing him talk about some of the rough edges specifically on the flipper tab.
Clearly the smoothed out the rough spots and the black blade with green micarta looks great (though a little slick). Proportionally a slightly longer blade could have balanced out the dimensions but I’m still pleased.…

The pocket clip mounting in the base is great but the clip is a touch short (and tight). And for the love of all things large and small please with the bill boarding it cheapens the look of this knife.
Finally the shining star (beyond the color way) the XR lock is so buttery smooth out of the box. The way the blade pops up just a bit when opening makes for a smooth and satisfying wrists flip open. And the same happens when closing. That little jump start to the blade movement when you disengage the lock makes it snap closed under the weight of the blade. I’m not a big fidgeter but I love opening and closing this knife. So much so I’m not even going to go on about how bad the flipper action is (like moving through mud)… just ignore the flipper tab.
Over all very pleased. D2 steel with Micarta and this perfect XR lock makes for a decent value.
Best Terminus XR Version
I own the normal red one and the gold XR LTE version, and this one is by far the nicest, Micarta feels great and the finally cleaned up the sharp edges on the flipper
