SOG Ultra XR
This really is a much better knife than I expected, and something I can see myself getting a lot of use from.
Since it came out, SOG’s Ultra XR has been one of those knives which I see pop up everywhere. It’s hard to find people have strong opinions against it, while many are either ‘meh’ or really love it. The thing about this knife is that it looks completely normal when you put it on a desk and take a picture, but when you touch it the knife seems to defy knife logic.
That’s because the hallmark of this knife is that it is very thin and very light. While the blade is an ideal 2.8” long, the entire knife package weighs 1.2oz with the clip on it. Bananas.

Noctigon KR4 in Deep Red
PublishedThis light is really awesome, but that’s the LED not the body. The KR4 itself has questionable quality attributes for me to recommend it, but a D4V2 in Deep Red, heck yes.
