The SOG Diverge XR 3" folding knife in forest green is a compact, ambidextrous EDC blade built for hunters, outdoors workers, and shooters who need reliable steel on their belt. The 3-inch sheepsfoot-style blade is forged from 2.4mm-thick D2 steel—a high-carbon material that holds an edge and resists corrosion better than softer stainless alternatives, making it practical for camp tasks, gear prep, and backcountry work.
Ergonomics matter when you're carrying a knife daily. SOG designed the Diverge XR with an anodized 6061 aluminum handle that's shaped for a secure grip and finished with textured surfaces so it won't slip whether your hands are wet or gloved. The ambidextrous thumb studs and flipper opener let you deploy the blade one-handed from either side, and the integrated pocket clip rides deep and discreet in shirt or pack pocket.
The XR locking mechanism keeps the blade locked in place during work and handles the demands of field use without play or wobble. Whether you're field-dressing game, breaking down camp gear, or maintaining your rifle and optics, the Diverge XR's compact size and sharp steel strike the balance between a working blade and something you'll actually carry every day. Forest green gives it the muted, utilitarian look that belongs in a hunting camp as much as it does in a truck cab.
