The SOG Pentagon XR Blackout is built for users who demand a folding knife with tactical performance and everyday carry practicality. This manual folder is a bold evolution of SOG’s Pentagon design, pairing premium materials with modern innovation for a knife that’s ready for any challenge. Its 3.6” CRYO CTS XHP stainless steel spear point blade is engineered for superior toughness, excellent edge retention, and outstanding corrosion resistance. The black titanium nitride finish not only gives the blade a stealthy, non-reflective look but also adds a layer of protection against wear and the elements.
Opening the Pentagon XR is fast and versatile thanks to dual deployment methods. You can use the blade flipper for quick, decisive action or take advantage of ambidextrous thumb studs for a controlled, deliberate opening. Both options work seamlessly with the precision-tuned pivot system, delivering a smooth, satisfying deployment every time. At the heart of the design is SOG’s XR lock, a robust mechanism known for its strength, security, and ease of use. Positioned for ambidextrous operation, the XR lock allows for safe one-handed closing without placing your fingers in the blade’s path.
The Blackout G-10 handle complements the knife’s tactical aesthetic with lightweight durability and a reliable grip. Its peel-ply texture ensures a firm hold even in wet or slippery conditions, while the ergonomic design fits comfortably in the hand for extended use. Reinforced with stainless steel liners, the handle provides strength and stability without adding unnecessary weight. At 4.77” closed and 8.38” overall, the Pentagon XR feels substantial yet remains slim enough for comfortable pocket carry. Weighing just 3.6 oz., it’s light enough for everyday use while maintaining a sense of ruggedness and confidence.
Carry options are versatile with a reversible tip-up pocket clip that accommodates both right- and left-handed users. This deep-carry clip keeps the knife secure and discreet, making it easy to keep close at hand without drawing attention. With a blade thickness of .12”, the Pentagon XR strikes an ideal balance between slicing precision and structural strength, making it a dependable companion for utility tasks, defensive situations, and everything in between.
Every aspect of the SOG Pentagon XR Blackout reflects the brand’s focus on innovation and practical design. From its high-performance blade steel to its intuitive lock and textured handle, this folder is designed for real-world use by those who demand reliability in their gear.
