The SOG Pentagon XR delivers professional-grade cutting performance with its premium CTS-XHP steel blade and tactical folding design. This knife combines advanced metallurgy with ergonomic engineering to meet the demands of law enforcement, military personnel, and serious outdoorsmen.
What Makes This Different
The Pentagon XR features a cryogenically treated CTS-XHP blade steel that maintains a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard stainless steels. The black TiNi coating provides superior corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection for tactical applications. Unlike basic folding knives, this model incorporates SOG's XR lock mechanism for secure blade lockup under heavy use.
