SOG Aegis AT XR: Building on Success
This review compares the original SOG Aegis and its successor, the Aegis AT XR. The original Aegis is praised for its lightweight design (1.9 oz for the mini) and AUS8 steel, making it a popular backpacking and bug-out bag knife. The newer Aegis AT XR, while a capable redesign with D2 steel and a 3.13-inch blade, is heavier (4.4 oz) and departs from the original's ultra-lightweight formula. The review highlights differences in blade shape, handle material, and the controversial safety mechanism on the AT XR.
