SOG Elite XR Blacked Out

When you're on the hunt for a compact and featherweight everyday carry knife, the options are as plentiful as gadgets in a spy's arsenal. Some are so light they moonlight as money clips—quite the party trick. Today, we're diving into a knife that not only fits this ultralight bill but also flirts with the idea of doubling as a money clip. But should it? Let's find out.

Enter the SOG Ultra XR Blackout edition—a folding knife that's as sleek as a tuxedo-clad secret agent. With carbon fiber handles and an axis-style lock, this knife tips the scales at a mere 1.2 ounces. Yes, you read that right. It's lighter than a paperclip convention. Closed, it measures 3.6 inches, extending to an overall length of 6.4 inches when deployed. The carbon fiber boasts a marbled, almost shredded appearance, giving it an aesthetic that's both sophisticated and ready for action.

SOG Diverge XR

The budget knife market is packed with options—some good, some bad. When a company aims to compete in this space, it needs to focus on materials and quality. Go too cheap, and you get a subpar product; go too high, and you risk pricing yourself out of the budget category. Then there are knives that land in a strange middle ground—enter the SOG Diverge XR.

At around $60, the Diverge XR sits on the upper end of the budget spectrum (depending on how you define "budget"). On paper, it seems promising: aluminum handle, deep carry clip, D2 steel blade, and SOG's XR lock—a variation of the Benchmade Axis lock. It looks decent, and that’s exactly what it is: decent. It’s not exceptional, but it cuts well enough. Let’s break it down—the good, the bad, and the ugly.

SOG Aegis MT

SOG Specialty Knives and Tools over the years has made an assortment of multitools for different trades and recreations. One area they dabbled in is fishing multitools. The now discontinued Blacktip was very popular with users and was a collaboration with West Marine. The Blacktip was based off the PowerAssist tool and included a fish scaler, a sharpening groove and some standard tools.

Years later SOG has decided to try their hand at another fishing tool. This time around it's not based off a current model, but a completely new design. The SOG Aegis MT takes its name from their popular folding knife and the similarity ends there.

SOG PowerGrab

SOG Specialty tools and knives has been a multitool industry leader for decades. They may not have come up with the original multitool; but they have pushed the limits in temps of design and originality. 2017 was a good year for the company with several tools hitting the market. SOG went with some highly original designs like the Baton and Sync series but stayed true to their heritage with the Power Grab.

The Power Grab is what I could call an evolutionary design of the Power Lock series of tools. The Power Lock has such a following and it's clear why it's one of the companies best selling tools. The Power Grab is a full size multitool that is designed to handle tasks that most of the smaller guys cannot handle. With the Power Grab they went back to the drawing board and size is about all this tool and it's brethren have in common. Let's take a look and see what they got right, sets it apart from the pack and needs work.

SOG PowerAccess

While some manufacturers chose to either not release new tools for 2017 or simply chose to release some mediocre offerings, one company has single handedly delivered a host of new offerings. At SHOT Show in Las Vegas SOG introduced a host of new tools that were both innovative and forward thinking. The tool we will be looking at today is the SOG Poweraccess.
