Comments

GrizzlyAdams: The SOG Termius XR is so far as I can tell the best knife for the money if you want an "axis lock" style blade. I have a benchmade bugout and comparing to that this knife does really well for the price. Sure the benchmade is better in every way but the compromises are not bad on the SOG and the feature set is robust. Sure the XR lock is not as smooth as the Benchmade. The spring is stronger on the SOG so it takes more pressure to unlock it. Sure the scales are not as polished. Sure the D2 is not as good as S30V. Sure there is no lanyard hole on the SOG. But... do you use a lanyard hole? For my use the upgrades are not really a good use of my dollars. The scale finish isnt bad its just not as smooth. The XR lock works fine and can be flicked open and closed with ease. The pocketclip (since SOG updated it) is peachy keen. The SOG also has a flicker giving you one more way to open it than a bugout. The CIVIVI praxis has similar steel/scales but no crossbar lock, the kershaw heist would be the best direct competition to this knife but at the time of writing is $10 more and doesnt have a flicker tab on the back (though the heist has a lanyard hole). So my opinion, this is a sweet knife...

MarithMarith: The D2 steel blade is super sharp. The blade flips open quickly with the stud or the thumb catch, and locks positively. The XR lock releases the blade and lets it close safely. The G10 handle is shaped and surface-textured to feel really great in my hand. The whole package is operable by one hand and cuts really well. Great value for just around $50.

AmazonAddict: I like: the shape, swedge, and coarse stone wash finish of the blade, the lockup, lack of blade play, firm detent, and blade centering. It feels solid and durable.

The handle finishing and ergos are just ok. The frame is heavy. The XR lock switch is plastic and has in and out play - making a popping noise. The XR lock spring is strong, using it takes 2 strong fingers and it's harsh on your fingertips. You need to brace the end of the handle against your palm to get enough leverage. The red g-10 definitely looks and feels a bit cheap, , the g-10 edges are disappointingly sharp. My old Flash II's FRN looks and feels better. The flipper deployment is the best option, using the XR lock to deploy takes an strong, practiced wrist flick. The detent is strong, so the thumbstuds are difficult to use.

When I first got it, I could not deploy the blade with the XR lock alone and it did not drop shut, stopping at the detent point. After wiping off the contact points, fidgeting for a day, and tuf-glide it has gotten better. I can drop shut now. It's definitely still gritty, but hopefully will improve.

Overall the knife has some good points, but the ergos, look and feel of...

Elhaz Inverted: I own several SOG products and am familiar with what to expect at a price point. This is a quality EDC that hasn't left my pants pocket since purchased. I haven't experienced any of the negative that I've seen in the other reviews. It is comfortable and has a nice flipper action after a couple of flicks. The locking mechanism keeps fingers free and everything can be done with one free hand. I don't regret this purchase for the price and would buy another for myself or a friend at any given time. It's a little on the smaller side than what I was using for my EDC, and I wasn't certain if I would like the adjustment. I find that the less bulk and length in the pocket has so far been a positive and it hasn't failed to tackle any job I've needed it for so far.
Satisfied customer once again. Thanks SOG!

Paul F.Paul F.: I like this knife a lot. I love the XR lock, and the whole knife operates smoothly. It feels good in the hand, quality seems great for the price. The edge is good, though not quite razor sharp. My only complaint is that it’s a bit smaller than I’d hoped. Though, it’s fits in the pocket very nicely because of that. I have attached a picture of it next to my Sog-Tac XR for scale.
