I haven't bought a SOG in a couple years. Nothing I've seen that really catches the eye specially for the price they smack ya with for the quality. 👊💀🍻
I love SOG knives wish I would have gotten a NW ranger before they discontinued. Imma get this one too I personally like the Pocket clip. I like the budget FL Aegis alot too
Yeah it seems like SOG is still sneaking in the budgets on us still. I guess they have to have a certain collection for places like Walmart and Lowes. I hope we get to see a XR-V2 one day. They need to ride that wave as long as possible. Great video as always 🍻
As you say for that price, you can get a pretty decent Ganzo or SanRenMu that will be better finished.I just received a Brother 1509 lock back with VG 10 and blue micarta covers for under €31.00, fit and finish perfect, I put it through it's paces today with a load of work on seasoned almond wood, hard stuff, a little strop at the end of the day and it was shaving sharp. Back in the day, I wanted a SOG Twitch but I have heard so many people complain about SOG, I have never bothered
Right on chris...I love VG10!! Yeah...I was the same way until the Terminus XR came out but i have people saying they have issues with it as well. I have 2 and they are both great!!
Ik you posted this 4 years ago but im thinking of getting this exact knife. The original SOG is a bit too big for my needs, but this is basically perfect and compared to the other options that are like £80 and £100 this one has good quality (from what I’ve found/heard) and personally I think really good looks. After 4 years do you still have this? Does it need a lot do sharpening or is there anything I should know?
@ I got about a £50 budget. So like $65. Got any recommendations? I just want a knife that locks, is full black, doesn’t have a Frame/Linear lock and isn’t automatic. Oh and isn’t really tiny or overly big It’s like 4:47AM for me btw, and thanks for the really quick reply :) ima head to bed so if you respond I’ll reply in like 10 hours, thx man
I'm with you. At first glance it's not a bad looking knife but not something I would ever actually buy. Now if I were to win a giveaway it would get some pocket time. Probably as a take to work knife that I wouldn't mind loaning out if needed.
I doubt that the full size would make any difference. Might get a little bigger area and size of thumbstuds. It kind of seems if it isn't an XR model it is same old SOG. Kind of a shame because it isn't a big problem to get good bearings on it. I detest that clip. Does anyone make a replacement clip for when I get my Terminus. Very good review as always. Oh well was hoping they had improved across the entire line. Guess it is XR or old SOG. Have a good day. Keep your blade sharp and your mind sharper things are getting crazy again.
I havent heard of a replacement clip for them. I will tell you that I have another SOG review coming and it has a little different tune to it!! Thanks Rick!!
I tend to agree this one really doesn't do it for me I do like sog I have the snarl which I enjoy and I have one of their flashlights which I really enjoy but this one just isn't my thing great review
@@BigRedEDC Well I still have a open mind, just don't want to spend more on there higher models. With out holding and checking out first. I only buy online and burned my self many time not liking what I bought
I do like the knife I agree with you about that one part at the handle I don't like I know it's just for looks also but I agree with you everything else I like about it if a request I don't know the name of it but I seen Spyderco has a fixed blade knife
Nice review, but it just doesn't do it (for me)...just too much clutter and hate that clip. You just like the Terminus better cuz, it has an axis-lock, haha. I'd really like to see you review their Tomcat 3.0. I would call it their flagship model, made in Seki, Japan. If it's like my old model (which won Knife of the Year in 1988), then it really is competition for a manual Microtech SOCOM and a lot sharper. Also, it has a curved Axis-style lock that IMO might be the best currently on the market. SOGs Made in Taiwan and especially Japan are incredible! I do believe there is a market for their cheap Chinese models, but should be relegated to places like Walmart.
@@BigRedEDC Yes, please! either you or Tier 1 will be the first, I'm guessing. If you would like, I'd be happy to send you my old one for a comparison to see if the new ones are as good as mine. And then, perhaps sending it on to Tier 1. I will pay postage. Stay safe Bro and two fingers down (I can't find an emoji for it), but you know what I mean.
@BigRedEDC I'm not even sure it's really all that functional, but SOG claims this is the purpose of the carriage. I guess in a pinch in a real apocalypse, one would care about this feature. Lol

Yeah...that's a good point! Thanks brother!!

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

Good point! Thanks for watching brother!
We're with you, the newer XR series really looks to be leaps and bounds ahead, though this is still certainly a fine user of a knife. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Despite your reservations I'd like to see if it's up to the task!
Don't care about the pocket clip as long as it works for me.😁
Fair enough Tom! Thanks for watching!

Great little knife, they are what they are, I got a Trident folder for Christmas, and I feel the same way.
Right on Mike!! Thanks for watching my friend!

Sorry, I do not have it anymore. I didn't have it long. Just wasn't for me.

LOL...A free knife is a good knife...right Greg!?!?! Good use of it for sure!! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Rick!!
Man awhile ago Walmart had it and every time I just stopped and looked at it and kept going should have grabbed it!!!!!!!
Right on Pete! Thanks for watching brother!
It would make a good secondary for the "can I borrow your knife" requests.
For sure Randy! Thanks for watching
Ganzo had a version of that knife, the pattern of the handles a little different and the clip is plain. F713M.
I will take a look.
You can adjust the tumbstud.
Yes...indeed you can! Thanks for watching!
Awesome knife
Thanks for checking it out Kevin!
Nice looking design
Thanks for checking it out!!
Awesome Jb great review thanks for the info
Any time Unclecow! Thanks for watching
I tend to agree this one really doesn't do it for me I do like sog I have the snarl which I enjoy and I have one of their flashlights which I really enjoy but this one just isn't my thing great review
Always appreciate you checking out my reviews Jeremy!!
SOG is like that aunt you dont want to be around! SOG just haven't change my mind from a cheap brand with many QC issues!
I like what I have seen of the XR Line so far. I also have another SOG review coming that is pretty decent!
Thanks TOJO!
@@BigRedEDC Well I still have a open mind, just don't want to spend more on there higher models. With out holding and checking out first. I only buy online and burned my self many time not liking what I bought
@@Mrtojo I fully understand that!!!
Nice little knife but I am not sure 🤔
I hear ya brother!! Thanks for checking it out!!
BigRedEDC You’re very welcome
I do like the knife I agree with you about that one part at the handle I don't like I know it's just for looks also but I agree with you everything else I like about it if a request I don't know the name of it but I seen Spyderco has a fixed blade knife
Thanks Bill. Yeah Spyderco has a few fixed blades. If you remember which one, please let know.
That "part" of the handle is for bayonet mount. Not for lanyards

I will definitely have to check out the Tomcat 3.0! Thanks MeanGene!

i'm really not too crazy about lockbacks. lacks fidget factor, and other locks are strong enough
Right on! Thanks for watching!
I would like to see auto and push button lock
Right on Talbert! Thanks for watching
Great review
Thank you very much!!
Great review, but just not digging this one personally.
I hear ya Time! Thanks for watching.
Not crazy about this one. Dang it SOG!! I want to believe...your making it hard. Lol
I know brother!! I will tell you that I have a budget SOG review coming that has a better tone!
@@BigRedEDC I ordered the Terminus because I think I will like that one. I saw your video and am giving them another shot.
Right on!!
Does anyone read the packaging anymore. The carriage is designed for bayonet mount. NOT FOR LANYARDS.
I just dont see many people doing bayonet charges anymore.
@BigRedEDC I'm not even sure it's really all that functional, but SOG claims this is the purpose of the carriage. I guess in a pinch in a real apocalypse, one would care about this feature. Lol
A tool box knife
For sure Joe! Thank you for watching
