Built for serious field use and refined through consultation with professional end users, the SOG Seal XR - Partially Serrated Folding Knife is a no-compromise folder that earns its place on a belt in the bush, at camp, or on the range. At 9.2 inches (23.4cm) overall with a 3.9 inch (9.9cm) clip point blade ground to a mid-height saber profile, it strikes a deliberate balance between piercing capability, slicing performance, and blade durability that general-purpose outdoor knives rarely achieve. The steel of choice is CPM S35VN, heat treated to Rc. 59-61, which offers a measurable 15-20% improvement in toughness over its predecessor S30V while remaining easier to reprofile in the field. Finished in Black Cerakote for corrosion resistance and a non-reflective profile, this is a folder built to handle whatever Australian hunting and outdoor conditions can throw at it.

SOG Seal XR - Partially Serrated Folding Knife Key Features

  • Blade Steel - CPM S35VN: A premium American-made powder metallurgy stainless steel offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and 15-20% greater toughness compared to CPM S30V. Hardened to Rc. 59-61 for a strong balance of durability and sharpenability.
  • Blade Grind - Mid-Height Saber: A saber grind retains significant blade thickness behind the edge for durability, while the mid-height geometry maintains solid slicing performance. The clip point profile adds controlled piercing capability without sacrificing everyday utility.
  • Black Cerakote Finish: A ceramic-polymer coating applied to the blade that provides strong corrosion resistance and a matte, non-reflective surface - practically important in both wet field conditions and low-light environments.
  • XR Lock Mechanism: SOG's proprietary locking system rated to withstand up to 1,500 pounds (680kg) of force. It provides a secure, rattle-free lockup with a smooth and positive release, and is fully ambidextrous in operation.
  • Blade Deployment - Ball Bearing System: The blade opens quickly and smoothly on ball bearings, with multiple deployment options including the XR mechanism, a thumb hole, and a kick. Suitable for either hand without modification.
  • Partial Serration Edge: A partially serrated edge combines the clean cutting of a plain edge with the aggressive bite of serrations, giving the blade greater versatility across fibrous materials, cordage, and general field tasks.
  • Handle - Glass-Reinforced Nylon (GRN): A composite handle material that is lightweight, structurally tough, and unaffected by moisture, temperature variation, or UV exposure. Diamond texturing on the scales provides positive grip retention even when wet.
  • Jimping: Multiple sets of jimping machined into both the blade spine and the handle provide tactile grip reference points and prevent the hand from shifting under load or in slippery conditions.
  • Exposed Pommel: The pommel end of the handle is designed to function as a pry tool, glass breaker, or impact device - adding functional versatility beyond the blade itself.
  • Carry and Dimensions: Closed length of 5.3 inches (13.5cm) and a weight of 8.2 oz (232g). Includes a reversible low-carry belt clip to accommodate left or right-hand carry preferences without tools.
  • Country of Origin: Designed and manufactured in the USA.

The SOG Seal XR Partially Serrated is a folder that has been engineered with real-world use at the forefront, from its premium steel selection and purposeful grind geometry through to its ambidextrous architecture and robust locking system. For hunters, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts who demand a reliable and capable folder that performs across a broad range of field tasks, this is a knife worth carrying every day.

What steel is the SOG Seal XR blade made from, and how does it perform?

The blade is made from CPM-S35VN steel, hardened to Rc 59–61. Compared to CPM-S30V, it offers 15–20% improved toughness along with better ease of machining and polishing. The Black Cerakote finish adds corrosion resistance and a non-reflective surface, making it well suited to demanding everyday carry and outdoor use.

How strong is the XR Lock on this folding knife?

The XR Lock is rated to withstand up to 1,500 pounds of force, making it an exceptionally robust locking mechanism for a folding knife. The blade also deploys smoothly on ball bearings and can be opened via the XR system, a thumb hole, or a kick, giving you multiple reliable options for one-handed deployment.

Is the SOG Seal XR suitable for left-handed users?

Yes, the SOG Seal XR is fully ambidextrous. The reversible low-carry belt clip can be configured for either side, and the multiple opening mechanisms — including the thumb hole and kick — are accessible regardless of which hand you use, making it a practical everyday carry option for both left- and right-handed users.

What are the key dimensions and weight of the SOG Seal XR?

The Seal XR has a 3.9-inch clip point blade, a closed length of 5.3 inches, and an overall length of 9.2 inches when open. It weighs 8.2 oz, which is on the more substantial side for a folding knife. The glass-reinforced nylon handle keeps weight manageable while remaining durable and impervious to the elements.
