Meet SOG's Seal XR Flipper Knife. This knife is large, meaty, and dressed head to toe in grip-enhancing jimping. The nearly 4" blade is Cerakote coated for added durability. The XR lock all but cements the blade in place for maximum lockup, and can be operated at either side. The pocket clip is reversible, making this tool completely ambidextrous. Ideal for use with gloves and ready to meet all your cutting needs. The tactical design is finished off with a strike pummel.
Not a SOG fan but this one is worth every penny and exceeds expectations.As good as any $200 ZT or Benchmade. The design, size, heft, and locking mechanism is top notch. One of my absolute favs. Stop wasting time reading this review and just order the damn thing!
Great knife!

Saw this knife profiled on the SOG Knife Banter a few weeks ago. Exactly what I was looking for as an EDC knife. This is well designed and built. Opening and closing are a breeze and done easily with one hand. The XR lock is solid. The ergonomics of the handle and the FRN (fiberglass reinforced nylon) handle material work well in my hand. Easy to retain the knife in the hand and do big cuts like cardboard boxes as well as small trim jobs. The gimping on the blade really help for the small cut jobs. Who can argue with S35VN steel. Fits well in the pocket. I am lukewarm on the strike pummel, but that feature is in keeping with the tactical nature of the knife. I thought it might be heavy in the pocket but after carrying for a week not so. In addition to its high quality design, construction, and functionality, its just a cool looking knife. Glad I purchased it.
Heavy Duty...

This thing is a hefty beast of a knife. It closes with one hand as smooth as it opens using the SR locking mechanism switch. Very heavy, but built really solid. The jimping all around the handle locks the knife in your hand but not so rough to cause any hot spots. Feeling the quality of this knife in my hand makes me wonder which SOG XR is next on my list...
Wow, real quality

The craftsmanship of this knife is hands down up there with any high dollar flipper available.Well worth the money. This thing is solid as a tank and comes very sharp. Action is the smoothest of any knife I own. My new favorite blade in my collection by far.
Best offering from SOG

I have had this knife for a bit and i absolutely love this knife. The flipper action on the XR lock makes me wonder why Benchmade can't deliver a great flipper for their axis lock. Very durable and it fills the hands a little better than my Cold Steel Recon. The factory grind came even and sharp out of the box and was perfectly centered. I highly recommend this knife for tough tasks like cutting coax lines.
Excellent
