Description:

The SOG Altair XR Squid Ink is a tough pocket knife. Suitable for EDC, but also for camping trips. Thanks to the GRN handle, the knife is lightweight yet very strong.

The Altair XR, as the name might suggest, is enhanced with the XR-lock. This is a great locking mechanism for both left and right-handed use. The great thing about the XR-mechanism is that the blade slightly sticks out from the handle when you pull the lock back. With a slight movement of the wrist you can easily release the blade from the handle. So that's another way to open the knife, besides the thumb stud.

In terms of materials SOG clearly thought about how this knife will be used. The handle is made from GRN. This is a strong type of plastic, reinforced with glass fibres. The blade of this SOG knife is made from 154CM steel. This is a good stainless steel with great sharpness retention. 154CM is also easy to sharpen.
