SOG’s everyday carry lineup sits outside the brand’s two primary mechanism platforms. These are the folders, slip joints, and compact blades designed for pocket carry without the XR crossbar or SAT piston lock—ranging from entry-level lockbacks to USA-made premium folders.
USA-Made Premium — Banner & One-Zero Au
The Banner runs CPM S35VN steel on an aluminum handle with SOG’s Arc Lock mechanism—fully made in the USA. The One-Zero Au pairs a USA-made CTS XHP blade with an aluminum handle and a refined action built for daily carry. The Arcitech is a gentleman’s folder on VG-10 steel with jigged bone scales and a titanium bolster.
Slip Joint Folders — Terminus, SJ Cleaver & Stout
The Terminus Slip Joint runs D2 steel on G-10 scales in a traditional non-locking format with a half-stop detent. The SJ Cleaver uses a wide, flat cleaver grind for slicing tasks. The Stout SJ runs a shorter, broader drop point. Both the SJ Cleaver and Stout SJ are built on 5Cr15MoV steel with G-10 handles.
Budget Lockbacks & Compact Carry
The Aegis FL and Aegis FLK are lightweight lockback folders running 8Cr13MoV in a GRN chassis. The Adventurer LB is a lockback with a 3.5" blade at entry-level pricing. The Gambit is a compact fixed blade with a full-tang design and hard sheath for neck or belt carry. The Rapid Edge is a replaceable-blade utility folder for users who prioritize a fresh edge over sharpening.
