SOG - Adventurer Folding Knife

The SOG Adventurer LB is a great, slim, lightweight folding knife. It’s something to slip into your pocket and forget. It’s not flexy-bendy, despite its lack of internal liners. That’s compensated by the teeter-totter of the locking bar which serves as a full-length back spacer and adds rigidity to the plastic scales. It’s not something you’d use on the ranch, but it’s good for ordinary cutting tasks. The color is subjective, but I like the ‘dusk purple’ - the almost dark yet almost pastel, saturated purple looks great with the black blade. I can snap it open with the thumb stud just fine. Being a lockback, closing it requires two hands every time. That is unless you want train one hand to go through the gyrations of sliding way back, pressing the lock bar hard, shaking the blade past the détente or using your thigh on the blade-back. Seems a lot easier to just use two hands like in the old days. I really like the similar SOG Altair XR, but it costs five times as much. ??? Comparing the two knives, the blades are almost the same length and same drop point shape, but a much better steel on the Altair. The size and weight are almost identical. But I couldn’t justify paying five times as much. All-in-all, the Adventurer LB is a good economical choice for a useful light pocketknife. And the color looks cool, so there ya go.

i have only used it for a short period of time but its very light and it has stood up to the test

First knife I've bought for myself. Solid mechanics and a very sharp blade. Purchased 2 more for my longtime friends to celebrate our 50th year camping in Vermont. Thanks SOG!

My only complaint is a bit stiff on release; & the release placement isn't ideal for for single handed operation...

Very cool knife sharp and light butt super durable blade

The Adventure LB-Dusk Purple + Black knife great every day carry (EDC) knife!! Good balance and a proper weight for all your every day and outside adventures. The blade is a good combination of keeping an edge and putting a fine edge on it metal. The price on the Adventure LB- Dusk Purple + Black is at a decent price point. Different handle colors add to the temptation of the Adventure LB too.

Nice knife for the price. Sharp right out of the package. Tight no wobble. Gave to my son’s girlfriend, purple is her favorite color. Would recommend. From northwest Pa.
