SOG 2.8 in. Ultra XR Folding Knife, Carbon/Gold

he SOG Ultra XR - Carbon & Gold completely changed the way I think about everyday carry knives. I’ve owned plenty of knives over the years, but this was the first one I actually carried every single day without fail — mainly because of how unbelievably light and slim it is. Half the time I forget it’s even in my pocket, which is probably the highest compliment you can give an EDC knife. The design is what really sold me. The carbon fiber and gold accents give it a clean, modern look that feels more refined than tactical. It disappears in dress pants just as easily as jeans, and the deep carry clip keeps it low-profile. Despite the minimalist weight, it still feels solid and capable in hand. The XR lock is smooth and addictive to use, and deployment is fast and reliable. It’s one of those knives you find yourself flipping open constantly just because it feels so good mechanically. What says the most about this knife is that when I thought I lost mine for a couple of weeks, I immediately bought another one without hesitation. Then, of course, I found the original. Instead of regretting it, I was honestly psyched — now I have two of them. That probably tells you everything you need to know.

I own around 70 knives of varying types and quality. They range from 440c to CPM-M4 (the most expensive of my knives). The SOG Ultra XR is only my second CPM S35VN. I could not be happier with this edc. While I change up my carry, this is my current favorite. Every guy ought to need a knife on a daily basis. I have a white collar job and the extraordinarily light weight, ergonomics, and quality of this knife all make it a perfect edc.

This is my third time purchasing this knife.it is so light weight for an every day carry. The blade holds its edge great. I would highly recommend! You won't be disappointed.

Love this knife. Light weight and sharp AF. I lose it all the time because it’s so light I forget it’s there. Very sharp, and easy to open and close! I liked my original so much I bought another one!
