The SOG Terminus XR LTE delivers premium cutting performance in a compact 2.95-inch folding design that balances everyday carry convenience with tactical reliability. This knife features CPM S35VN steel with TiCN coating for superior edge retention and corrosion resistance.
What Makes This Different
The Terminus XR LTE stands apart with its premium CPM S35VN steel blade, a powder metallurgy steel that maintains sharpness significantly longer than standard stainless options. The cryogenic treatment process refines the steel's grain structure for enhanced toughness, while the graphite TiCN coating reduces friction and provides additional corrosion protection. The hybrid G10 and carbon fiber handle construction offers exceptional grip texture with reduced weight compared to all-G10 designs.
Key Features
- CPM S35VN steel blade with cryogenic treatment for superior edge retention
- Graphite TiCN coating reduces friction and enhances corrosion resistance
- 2.95-inch clip point blade optimized for precision cutting tasks
- Black G10 and carbon fiber handle scales for lightweight durability
- Ambidextrous pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry options
- Liner lock mechanism provides secure blade lockup during use
- Thumb stud deployment for one-handed opening capability
Field testing demonstrates the Terminus XR LTE maintains cutting efficiency through extended use cycles. The CPM S35VN steel composition resists chipping under stress while the ergonomic handle design reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cutting operations. Law enforcement professionals and outdoor enthusiasts report reliable performance in wet conditions due to the TiCN coating's hydrophobic properties.
