SOG SEAL XR 12-21-02-57 S35VN Steel/Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon Handle Folding Knife

Outstanding quality, built for hard use and completely ambidextrous. Can't imagine anyone who wouldn't love this. It's a little heavy but you could baton with it. The action is smooth as glass. Sculptured G10 scales give you a solid grip even with wet hands. Thinking about buying another for the safe just to look at since the one use daily gets rough use but will last a lifetime. One hand open and close. Probably the best engineered and overbuilt knife ever made and S35VN steel is rust resistant and holds a great edge. If I could only have one knife this would be it.

DE MUY BUENA CALIDAD ROBUSTA

This knife is nice. It is very heavy-duty for a folding knife. The width of the blade is thick and with the counterweight metal piece in the opposite end of the knife, it is rather heavy in weight for a pocket knife. Compared to my other large folding knife, CRKT Triumph , this is a bit longer, heavier, and wider in size. I needed something that wasn't assisted opening for states that have a law against having that. The pocket clip is rather tight. The surface has a grippy texture. The balance is good. The bottom end has a metal stub that I think is meant to break car glass. The flipper stub on the blade helps you to open the knife. It does project out at the opposite end of the pocket clip, but it's not going to open up inside your pocket. If you carry the knife on the outside of your pants, then it's not an issue. There's a hole in the blade if you want to open the knife with it, but there's enough resistance to make that difficult. The build quality is great. It's sharp from the factory. I didn't need to do any further sharpening. The locking mechanism is great. Easy to unlock and close.

Excellent hard use knife, especially if you have to wear gloves. There are some complaints about the gimping, but I find it useful as the purpose intends. It’s there for grip, specifically with gloves. I myself find no problem gloves or not, just know that they are there and don’t expect to not feel them. This knife completes any job I need it for, with a bit of extra concentration needed for detailed task. Easy opening, stays sharp, and pretty simple to disassemble and clean. The glass breaker chisel point is useful without being so sharp it snags clothing or your hand when reaching for it or other items in the pocket. Kinda reminds me of another big black polymer tool low on looks but completely reliable to get the job done in any condition, which is also dead simple to disassemble and clean. One of SOG’s best next to the Kiku. I’ve had the micarta/carbon fiber one for years and it has been a solid performer in the daily carry. Not sure if they offer a deep carry clip? But it works for me as is, sooo… The Seal XR is a beast of a knife in size and build. This will take some room in the pocket but works. Great value for the money, I bought a used one, one complaint when received is that the pivot was dripping in what smelled of bar/chain oil??? A good cleaning and recondition solved this. Looks amazing, locks up solid, steel is CPM S35VN, don’t see a need to go another $100 for magnacut, easy deployment and trusted tool in the EDC carry. If your looking for a sleek beast of a knife this could be for you. Fit and finish is smooth, no lines or nubs to remove upon arrival. Carry on all…

Fantastic. I bought this almost a year ago. I carry it regularly and use it all the time. I don’t do anything harsh with it like prying, or plunging it into course material. Just regular everyday use cutting the things that life demands. This thing still shaves my arm hair a year later. None of the parts have worked loose, the belt clip is still rock solid. I’m impressed with the continuous performance I’ve gotten from this knife, yes it’s big, big enough to use for defense. I’m 100% certain if that day comes it won’t let me down just like it hasn’t to this point. I highly reccomend.
