SOG Ultra XR Everyday Carry Slimline Ambidextrous CRYO CPM S35VN Stainless Steel Folding Knives | Titanium Pocket/Money Clip

If you want a small, extremely sharp knife with a premium steel that weighs next to nothing, this is the knife for you. Ten years ago I purchased the original (it was called "The Access Card" back then). It weighed over a half an ounce more than this one, and I literally carried it everywhere, every day. With the carbon fiber scales, and S35VN steel, this model is quite the upgrade. The access lock opening mechanism works flawlessly; but the blade is ultra thin and light, so it's not something that flies open with your typical wrist flick. And while I wouldn't use it to break down cardboard all day, it's nevertheless nice to have a good cutting tool, especially on those days when you don't feel like carrying around a beefier knife.

My EDC! So light you forget you're wearing it. I have almost put it through the wash a few times now since i sometimes forget its on my gym shorts! Great for wearing during a night run or when you don't want to be weighed down. Great blade, well made knife! Super glad I got it.. Only wish i would have seen this sooner. And the carbon fiber looks awesome!

The knife is super small, super slim and super lightweight. It is also very sharp and durable. I’ve had this knife for years and never had a problem with it. Never fell off the clip, never cracked or chipped! Awesome knife, I only buy SOG stuff. Their backpacks are top-notch as well.

So, I was going to return this knife, but this kife is really great for being in a new city where you basically need a money clip. I used it to carry ID and a CC, and it works great for that. Will I EDC this knife, no, and in fact, I also carried a Gerber 06 tanto auto with it, but it was a nice combo for being in a new city, and not knowing what to expect. I think this is a very good knife when you want to keep a low profile, and probably also have another knife, but the money clip part is very nice. Also, it's super sharp, so if it had to be used it would fulfill its duty, but I would consider this a backup knife, or a money clip/knife when you're in a new area. It's very lightweight, yet sharp, subtle, and gold lol; so you really can't go wrong with the combo. I will not be returning this knife.

I bought this thinking it was going to be awesome bc of the weight as well as the blade steel and the axis lock technology. I love the brand, and thought I would love this knife. It was light and looks are amazing, and deep carry pocket clip. But the thinness of the blade was questionable when it came to wanting it for thick boxes or anything plastic and thick as a trash can. There’s no liner in it, so the thin blade runs on the ultra thin handle. The handle is carbon fiber, so I know that’s tough, but left me questioning if I could use this repeatedly on boxes all day without damaging the knife. The ability to fidget with it too was very hard bc it ran on the handle and didn’t really open and close smoothly and fluidly. Awesome concept, maybe when they come out with a second gen, there will be a design overhaul, and it’ll be a little better for what I thought the price would lead it to be. For 40-50, maybe, over 100, not a solid enough build and usefulness. Great for someone who just needs some protection on a late night run bc there’s literally no added weight to you pants and it’s clip is very nice and snug. Love SOG, hands down, just not this model for me.

Am extremely happy with this knife. It's light, slim and very sharp. Have always been a fan of SOG knives.

I collect a lot of sub-$200 folders. At close to a hundie, this is a little more upscale than usual. Having made knives for 30 years, I feel I understand what quality should be available. What one certainly doesn’t want is a product whose quality is available elsewhere at a much lower price. This knife is worth significantly less than I paid for it. First, despite quite a bit of work on the action, I still can’t get it to flip open without herculean effort. There are grind marks/metal burns up near the tip. There is an actual sharpening flaw at the tip. The knife design is cool. The knife came sharp. It is hard as heck to operate one handed and, at this price point, shouldn’t have left QC with the errors. Caveat emptor. Two stars off for quality.

This is an awesome night. It has to be the skinniest knife that I have ever had and it is extremely sharp. I highly recommend it. I actually also love the SOG brand.
