I've had the SEAL XR in FDE color for a few months now and it's already the most carried of my dozen or so folders, depending on clothing. I'll be honest, in jeans and most pants I wear, the 8oz isn't really noticeable. I guess if you wear really skinny pants it could be an issue. The tradeoff to me is when I pull this knife out I know it's going to tackle any job I need it to, within reason. If I'm in workout clothes I'll grab my Toor Suitor or SOG Ultra XR. I heard you mention the CS American lawman, checked it out and now I think that be my next purchase! Kinda checks all the boxes, S35VN, axis lock, nice choil.
The Cold Steel, American Lawman, in my opinion, is one of the greatest SDUEDC Folders of all time. You cannot go wrong with one; I own several. It's an awesome EDC. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Yours is also the second Gen version. It has a cerakoted blade instead of the first Gen TiNi. They supposedly improved the the liners after complaints of the liners rusting on the first Gen .
Oh yeah! 😎 I wish sog made the seal in tanto blade too, like their fixed blade seals! A video update on your favorite SOGs to date would be cool! You have a lot more now! The pentagon probably carries easier but the seal is a beast! ✌️🤟🤙
Actually, I haven't purchased any S.O.G. Folders, lately... I have been buying HD parts to customize my HD Springer Softail. But, I have found a couple new Folders to try out when they come in; stay tuned... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
If you want a super heavy-duty XR-Lock Folder from S.O.G., then, definitely get either the S.O.G. Seal XR or the Kiku XR; I absolutely luv both of them. I would compare the Seal XR to the Benchmade Adamas and Cold Steel 4-Max. But, it's much more fun to use and manipulate in your hand. It's the fastest opening and closing... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Awesome knife video Stiletto! That one is kind of like my Benchmade Adamas, big, thick, heavy and built like a tank. But that's what you want when you go into combat, trust me been there done that. (PEACE)WILD BILL From The Show Me State!
I don't have an Adamas. But, I have handled them. And, yes, it is a good comparison to that Benchmade Model. It's definitely my most heavy-duty Cross-Bar Lock Folder; I love this one. It's definitely, "Fit to Fight, Sir!" Peace, Stiletto :-)
Jimislash knows a good cutter when he gets it ,and what he recommends is going to be A-Okay 4sure although price some time matters ,because Jimislash breaks the bank so time 4 some knives but they do be the Bomb.
Yes, he's a cool guy! I like his videos and outlook on his folders. But, most of his Customs from Andrew are out of my budget, too; I get what you're saying. Right on, Jimislash, "ROCKS!" Peace, Stiletto :-)
