Sounds bad , but OP is brand new and has zero track record here .

Also, he says the problem won't show in photos ? And Midway is terrible ?

I'm not gonna panic quite yet . I've read mostly positive reviews otherwise . Most negatives just about the sheath .

 

[HexY3co]

Good looking blade. I think they stepped it up lately want to see more good stuff from SOG.

 

[BigMoney]

I have 2, I like the knife and the sheath. Throw the faux tek lock in the trash. I added a zip tie to the sheath for increased retention.

 

[el gigantor]

SOG is a company I keep forgetting exists. I hope your new knife is decent DocJD !

I like the SOG Kiku XR. But I’m hesitant on pulling the trigger.

I also ordered a Pillar last night; I've had me eye on it since it hit the market and at $99.00 and free shipping, it's a no brainer.

20% off sale and free shipping at SOG through 4/8/24...

I wore a Powerlock for most of 2 decades and beat a Flash2 for many years.

I have a soft spot in my heart for SOG, my late Dad gave me my first Paratool.

I wish them well.

I got 2 of them Doc. I think you'll like it.....

Received mine today . No flaws grossly detected .


Box and packaging is kinda big and elaborate . Nice for a gift maybe , but cumbersome to store for collector . I'm not keeping the box .

whatcha think of it Doc? besides the packaging..ya already covered that

 

[Jim the Bandsawyer]

Looks nice.

 

[mauser9]

Yeah does look nice. Thanks for tip on kiku xr. Like that one too.

 

[ShaiHulud]

The pillar has been an on again off again interest, ultimately off as I don't foresee any real use I'm my personal life

Really like the handle . Works well for me in every grip I use .

The blade has that nice SOG styling . Sexy ! Seems functional also .

Only thing that might have been better designed for function is that finger choil , on the blade .

Kind of square shaped and skimpy . Felt cramped and a bit unsafe , even for my medium finger size .

Wish they had either committed fully to a better finger rest or just extended the blade back all the way . Maybe some serrations there , to cut rope .

agree on the choil. I would have rather had a full edge rather than that choil.

 

[Fixedwing]

Mine arrived today in perfect condition with a nice even grind and a very sharp edge; I can find no faults or defects. The choil is a style choice; I have no issues with it. A large milled slab of S35VN, a kydex sheath, and micarta scales made in the USA for $99.00 shipped, what's not to like? Not all SOG knives are created equal.
