SOG Ultra XR Carbon Fibre / Graphite Folder — The Ultimate City Carry Knife

At Gladius EDC, we know the best gear is gear you’ll actually carry. The SOG Ultra XR Carbon Fibre / Graphite Folder is exactly that — an ultra-thin, featherlight blade built for modern city life. At just $159, it’s a premium folder that slips effortlessly into your urban routine.

Why It Stands Out

Ultra Lightweight

At around 34 grams, the Ultra XR practically vanishes in your pocket — until you need it. Whether you’re opening packages, slicing fruit at your desk, or tackling daily tasks on the go, it’s always ready yet never in the way.

Premium Steel

SOG chose CPM‑S35VN — a top-tier, American-made blade steel with excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. Keep it sharp with minimal fuss, and rely on it for crisp, clean cuts every time.

Minimalist, Multi-Function Build

The Ultra XR is designed for true minimalists: slim carbon fibre handles, a graphite titanium-nitride coated blade, and — best of all — a deep-carry titanium clip that doubles as a money clip. Carry a few notes or cards with your blade and leave the bulky wallet behind.

Perfect Fit for Alpaka

Love your Alpaka pouch, sling, or wallet? The Ultra XR slots right in. Its slim, flat profile means it pairs beautifully with compact organisers — whether you’re carrying your essentials in an Alpaka Zip Pouch, Elements Tech Case, or a Hub Sling.

Ambidextrous XR Lock

Open it one-handed, left or right. The XR Lock keeps things safe, smooth, and secure — built for real-world daily use around the city.

The Ideal Urban EDC Knife

We stock the SOG Ultra XR because it’s the definition of modern city carry:

• Legal-friendly size for most urban settings (always check your local laws!)

• Sleek enough for office or casual carry

• Pairs perfectly with Alpaka organisers and minimalist pouches

• Tough enough for daily tasks, yet so light you’ll forget it’s there

• Clip doubles as a discreet money clip when you want to keep things ultra streamlined

  
  

A Few Things to Know

• This is a slim, minimalist folder — not built for heavy outdoor work or bushcraft.

• The handle edges can feel sharp when brand new — a quick smoothing or some pocket time sorts that out.

• The ultra-thin build may have a tiny bit of blade wiggle — normal for knives this light and minimal.
