Sleek New Slicers from SOG for 2023

Founded in 1986, SOG is anything but a newcomer to the EDC scene. But in recent years, they’ve reinvented themselves with a fresh look, dedication to modern day materials and features, while keeping their original design process driven by feedback from elite law enforcement, military, and tactical users. The result is a slew of excellent EDC knives and tools to satisfy most EDCer’s needs, from materials to colors to functionality.

In this roundup we’re highlighting some of the brand’s newest and most interesting offerings: The Terminus (an EDC knife we’ve awarded best in show), the ultra-sleek Ultra XR folder, and the Flash series of assisted knives and multi-tools. If you’re looking for practical tools with tactical roots as an upgrade for yourself or a gift for the EDCer on your list, don’t miss these.

This new release ushers in the ancient artform of forged Damascus steel to a modern classic in the popular Terminus XR knife. Unlike many other modern knives on the market, the Terminus XR Damascus uses true Damascus steel made the authentic way of folding layers of steel to create its iconic wavy pattern. 10Cr15CoMoV steel, which is equivalent to Japanese VG-10, is folded over to forge the blade, then cryogenically heat-treated for added performance. The result is a one-of-a-kind pattern on the blade resembling waves on the surface of the sea. When paired with its subdued G10 and Carbon Fiber handle, it achieves a classy look without compromising modern features and functionality like SOG's ambidextrous XR lock and rear flipper tab deployment. With a sticker price of under $100, this is a fairly affordable way to experience a one of a kind damascus steel blade in your EDC too.

Trending: SOG SlimJim Folding Knife

Sometimes you need a knife that can reduce the bulk without sacrificing its cutting power; that’s why SOG crafted the SlimJim. Sporting one of the slimmest profiles in the market, the SlimJim honors its name with a 0.25” thickness. This profile also helps it keep its overall weight to a mere 2.4oz.  But just because it features a slender profile, it doesn’t mean that its performance is compromised. The blade measures a significant 3.18” in its standard form and 4.18” in its XL one. The composition is AUS-8 steel for a formidable performance in camping, fishing, and survival that can remain relatively affordable.

The handles are also entirely metal with a skeletonized build to shave the weight down even more. They also feature grooves and bumps throughout to help enhance grip since metal tends to be more slippery. Inside, you’ll find an assisted opening mechanism for a lightning-fast deployment. Once it’s open, the blade stays in place via a robust back lock. You can choose between a natural, satin, and black colorway for the whole knife and between a clip point or tanto shape for the blade. Once you’re done, you can slide it right into your pocket with its included low-profile pocket clip. Pick one up at the link below.

Trending: Leatherman Wingman Multi-tool

Wingman: your best friend, your reliable partner, your go-to guy for all your needs. And since its debut in 2011, Leatherman's iconic multitool has become just that. The Wingman packs 14 essentials to solve all your everyday problems. Front and center are Leatherman's signature spring-action pliers, bolstered by two stainless steel handles on each side. A 420HC (high-carbon) stainless steel serrated blade tucks into one side, with a pair of scissors on the other. You also get a hefty complement of drivers and utility tools like a package/bottle opener and wire cutters.

All 14 tools fold into a compact package under 10 inches and weighing 7 ounces or about 200 grams. It's not as long nor as heavy as its big brother the Wave (10”/241g) making it more suitable for EDC. A multi-tool shouldn't ever fail you, and the Wingman is designed not to.
