Firearms Redefined
This year has been a quiet and interesting Shot Show 2021. This amid the lockdowns and restrictions due to the pandemic. Shot was cancelled and reorganized into an online only event. During this week very few firearms, gear, or accessories released or announced. We do have SOG announcing their 2021 lineup for knives and multi-tools.

Terminus XR LTE
30% lighter than a standard Terminus XR, the Light Edition features updated handle and clip design, with carbon fiber liners to reduce weight. Terminus XR LTE features SOG’s super-strong XR Lock technology with and a TiNi coated, CRYO S35VN steel blade.

Kiku XR LTE delivers a statement of strength and nimbleness. With carbon fiber liners and spacer helping to shave 1.5 ounces off the standard version, this large-format folder is built around SOG’s ultra-strong XR locking mechanism, while the TiNi coated CTS XHP steel blade offers superior corrosion resistance and edge retention.
