High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe SOG Terminus is a refined, all-purpose folding knife built for those who appreciate capable performance in a clean, law-conscious design. Crafted as a slip joint, it’s an ideal choice for areas with more restrictive knife regulations, giving you dependable cutting power without a locking mechanism. It’s practical, lightweight, and purpose-driven—exactly what you want in a knife you’ll carry often.
At the core of the Terminus is a 3-inch clip point blade made from CTS BD1 stainless steel. Known for its impressive edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance, BD1 delivers reliable performance across a wide range of daily cutting tasks. The straight edge offers clean, controlled slicing, while the clip point profile provides a precise tip for detail work. Finished in satin, the blade has a classic, understated look that complements the knife’s modern yet timeless design.
Opening is simple and intuitive thanks to the traditional nail nick. It keeps the profile streamlined while reinforcing the knife’s slip joint heritage. Smooth, controlled action makes deploying the blade easy, and the non-locking mechanism provides the legal-friendly functionality many users require without sacrificing usability.
The brown G-10 handle scales add both durability and style. G-10 is prized for its strength, lightweight nature, and resistance to moisture and temperature changes, making it an excellent material for a hardworking folding knife. The textured surface enhances grip security, even in less-than-ideal conditions, while jimping along the spine of the blade provides added thumb traction for improved control during more precise cuts. Every detail works together to ensure the Terminus feels steady and confident in hand.
Measuring 7 inches overall and 4 inches when closed, the Terminus strikes a near-perfect balance between compact carry and functional blade length. At just 2.9 ounces, it’s light enough that you’ll barely notice it in your pocket, yet substantial enough to feel solid and dependable when put to work. Its slim profile makes it easy to carry discreetly, whether you prefer using the reversible low-carry pocket clip or slipping it directly into your pocket.
This folding knife isn’t flashy—it’s focused. It’s designed for real-world utility, blending modern materials with a classic slip joint format. Whether you’re opening packages, tackling small projects, or heading outdoors for a weekend adventure, the Terminus is built to handle everyday cutting tasks with confidence and style.
When you’re ready to add a versatile, regulation-friendly folder to your rotation, you’ll find the SOG Terminus at the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the best online knife store for premium blades and trusted brands. Lightweight, capable, and thoughtfully designed, the Terminus proves that practical knives can still deliver standout performance and refined appeal.
