Good little knife
It's a nice little knife. 4 stars because it is definitely lighter duty compared to the vision xr, which I really like. The blade is nice steel, smooth easy functioning. Good pocket folder that won't scare anyone when you pull it out. Good for the office and around town.

SOG is Right. The Best Terminus
The Perfect Pocket-Knife (INDEED) The weight, dual clutch technology, style and quality is better than my 2 other Terminus. (my new favorite daily) the handle is so good, I thought it was metal. Do not stop manufacturing this pocket/knife. Try different color handles.

STURDY SHARP
Excellent knife!!! Super sharp, very very sturdy mechanism. The lock is flawless and it opens with just a twitch.

Awesome knife
I have bought every single iteration of this knife platform I'm able to find this far. Not only is it great, but it makes the bug out and most Spyderco folders look like junk....they are. Not only is this platform reliable and durable but it's deployable in 4 ways or more!! The build quality is stupendous for such a cheaply priced knife! I really think the knife community really needs to relook at this whole design platform harder...sog knocked it out of the park with this and I love it! In a world where you have Spyderco and Benchmade junk that's overpriced with questionable quality sog is a fresh breath of air!

CF scales
The S35VN blade is beautiful and sharp right out of the box. Lock up and action are great with a smooth operation. Only reason for the 4 stars is the CF scales make it feel cheap in the hand and slippery even with the grooves cut. Looks are awesome but the feel wasn’t there.

Happy with Terminus XR
Nice EDC folder, very sharp, beautiful, and very solid with a good feel in the hand. It's predecessor was lighter and thinner, but perhaps too thin. With that knife the blade started to wobble after extended use. This knife won't do that, it has two metal strips for the handle supported by G10 and carbon fiber. The blade is very sharp though in general I tend to prefer D2.

An excellent knife at an affordable price point
I had the Terminus XR with the softer metal and green g10 scales and I loved that knife. Lost it in the woods 😔 and bought this as a replacement. Handles just as well. Action is buttery smooth. Best of all the s35vn steel is so much better at cutting / edge retention. Absolutely worth the extra $40 in my opinion. Now that I've seen what all the hype is about I doubt I could ever go back. The G10 scales are a little unrefined with harsher edges then I would like but I imagine that's what keeps the price down. New favorite amongst my collection and this is certainly one of the cheaper ones I own. Another banger from SOG. 👍

Bugout contender, GOOD but not quite great
This version is the best value of all the Terminus XR variants. Love the blade and scale upgrades over the G10/D2 version, sharp out of the box, multiple deployments. ALL 3 variants of the Terminus XR come gritty and poor action out of the box, but smooth out after an hour of fidgeting with them. Carbon fiber is also sharp on several corners on both variants I got and should be smoothed/sanded down for a better experience. If you're used to other crossbar locks, this one is different with how the detent/XR lock works and pulls in/pushes out the blade since it has a flipper. Overall a good value for the offering

Great knife - Good EDC
I like this knife. It's light and came sharp. I like the feel in hand and the jimping on the top of the blade. I normally prefer something slightly larger. I use my knives mostly for packaging and banding in a shipping/receiving job. Overall recommended.

The last EDC you'll buy
This is my first premium SOG. As a career firefighter a good folder is essential. And this one is GREAT. Solid, low profile, and light enough to forget you have it...until you need it. All 3 opening actions are flawless. Great finish on the cryo S35VN. Carbon G10 handle is beautiful as well. Blade is razor sharp out of the box, and maintains a sharp edge. I liked this version so much I sprung for the terminus XR LTE as well - same blade and handle but insanely light. I use the LTE for my off duty EDC and the XR for my on duty carry. Aside from the weight difference, this heavier XR S35VN has a nice mechanical "click" on opening/lock that the XR LTE lacks because of its carbon liners. A click that I prefer while on duty. Always nice to hear its ready on a blind open. I was a little weary trying a SOG initially with its China steel, but I've been overly impressed with both knives performance and wish i had given them a shot earlier. You wont be disappointed.

TERMINUS XR - S35VN
I enjoy the SOG Terminus XR S35VN knife. The flipper edge caused some problems with my finger because the metal had some sharp edges. Used a file to remove the metal burr. Three ways to open the blade which is extraordinary. Like the pocket clip which ambidextrous. It would be great to include a T6 Torx driver that could be used to change the pocket clip from the right to the left side. I am left handed and the button to close the blade is very easy to use. Like features of the pocket knife, Glad that the pocket clip was for deep pocket carry and narrow about 1/4-in at the top curved edge, The knife feels good in my hand, Great lock on the blade which was the main feature that caused me to purchase the knife.

SOG Terminus XR - S35VN fits the bill
5 stars because it checks all the boxes. I bought it for EDC use. I have no plans to fight my way clear of marauding hordes but I wanted a knife I could have confidence in. It probably doesn't compare to a knife 2 or 3x the price. I don't feel that would be a reasonable comparison. I wanted a knife to use, I have no plans to abuse it, but I want it to work first time every time. At the same time, I want a kniife that doesn't cost so much that I have to worry about it. So far so good. My all-time favorite EDC was the AirSoG. If it had a clip I'd still be carrying it. Replacing that knife in my pocket is something other knives have failed to do. The Terminus is still clipped in my pocket.
