Pentagon Xr Lte - Black + Graphite

The SOG Pentagon XR LTE in black and graphite is a lightweight folding knife engineered for law enforcement, military, and civilian tactical professionals who demand reliability without excess weight. Built on decades of SOG's combat-proven design philosophy, this knife strips away unnecessary mass through advanced materials while retaining the robust deployment speed and blade geometry that make the Pentagon platform a field-tested choice for defensive situations. The LTE (Lightweight Edition) designation reflects a 35% weight reduction compared to the standard Pentagon XR, making it ideal for extended carry in duty belts, plate carriers, or everyday pockets where ounces matter.

The Pentagon XR LTE features a 3.66-inch blade forged from CTS XHP stainless steel and hardened via cryogenic heat treatment—a process that enhances edge retention and corrosion resistance beyond standard tempering. The wide spear-point blade geometry provides excellent cutting geometry for utility and defensive applications while minimizing tip brittleness. Carbon fiber liners reduce overall weight to just 0.44 lbs without compromising structural integrity, and the G10 handle scales deliver the ultra-grip texture essential for positive control during emergency deployment or wet-condition use. The folding mechanism is smooth and deliberate, characteristic of SOG's single-hand operation standard.

This knife benefits professionals who prioritize quick access and minimal burden—tactical medics, plainclothes officers, special operations personnel, and backup-knife users in high-readiness roles. The compact 11.05-inch closed length fits seamlessly alongside firearm accessories without creating bulge or tangling in gear. Law enforcement and military end-users will appreciate the balance between the Pentagon's proven one-handed deployment and the LTE's reduced inertia, which accelerates draw speed in time-critical scenarios. The black and graphite finish resists corrosion while maintaining low visibility in tactical environments.
