The SOG Seal XR folding knife delivers premium S35VN stainless steel performance in a tactical package built for demanding applications. This 3.9-inch clip point blade combines superior edge retention with the reliability expected from SOG's military-inspired designs.
What Makes This Different
The S35VN steel blade sets this knife apart from standard tactical folders that typically use lower-grade steels. This premium steel maintains sharpness significantly longer than 440C or AUS-8, while the black Cerakote finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and reduces reflective surfaces. The ergonomic black and green handle construction offers secure grip control in wet conditions where standard G10 scales might slip.
