Review & Description
SOG Knives Trident Folding Blade Tanto Edge, SOG Trident - Sea, Air & Land The mission was to create an updated SOG folding knife based on historical proven design but launched from a platform of new technology. Somehow, when you see it, you immediately know it is a SOG. When you use it, you definitely know it is a SOG. At a casual glance it has elements of the original SOG Bowie, Tomcat, SEAL Pup, Flash, etc. Upon a closer look, it has features never before put into a knife. The SOG Trident uses well-proven means of delivering a knife blade to the open position with S.A.T. Now using patent pending Arc-Actuator, the Trident locks stronger and releases easier. There is also a built-in safety to lock the blade closed. When it shows red, you are ready to go. What also makes the Trident so unique is the patent pending Groove in the handle, which allows the operator to cut paracord, fishing line, etcetera without having to open the blade. The Trident's blade is an evolution as well. Taking key elements from previous blade shapes created a distinct hybrid of form and function. This knife has a tactile handle concept called Digi-Grip. With this variable patterning SOG can create a coarser grip in areas that will require it. Aggressive touch point scallops on the key areas of the perimeter complete the look. You will also appreciate the thought behind the bayonet style clip, which is easily switched for right/left hand carry or removed for pouch storage. The Trident embodies the spirit of the elite special forces throughout the world. Specifications: - Blade: 3.75" x .125" - Overall Length: 8.5" - Weight: 3.7 oz - Steel: AUS8 Stainless Rc 57-58 - Clip: Reversible SOG Bayonet Clip, Mfg No: TF-6, Manufacturer: SOG KnivesBlending elements from the Bowie, Tomcat, SEAL Pup, and Flash Series knives, SOG Specialty Knives and Tools has created a new breed of folding knife: the TF-6 Trident Knife with straight-edge blade and tanto edge. Designed for use by Navy SEALs, the TF-6 features SOG's grooved handle, which allows you to cut heavy cord and cable without having to open the specially designed blade. The TF-6's blade is easy to open and features Arc-Actuator technology, which helps the blade lock more strongly and release more easily.

SOG Assisted Technology Increases Speed, Safety, and UsabilityFast, safe, single-handed opening makes SOG Trident Series knives incredibly easy to handle in a wide variety of situations. When you go to unfold the TF-6's blade, SOG's patented S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) takes over. High-tension coil springs propel the blade open, so you can easily access it with just one hand.
S.A.T. knives offer security and peace of mind with their locking mechanisms that are stronger, more reliable, and easier to access than other knives'. For Trident Series knives, this means the blade is held in place with a reliable piston lock that can be quickly released with a sliding button. An additional safety lock offers extra security when the blade is closed, and for easy reference, the lock switch shows red when the knife is ready to be opened.
Cryogenic Heat Treatment for a Sharp, Dependable Blade
The TF-6 offers a full, 3.75-inch AUS8 stainless steel blade. Because the workhorse of any knife is its cutting surface, SOG's proprietary Cryogenic Heat Treatment process ensures that its blade will stay sharp over the long haul. This intensive process takes more than 48 hours and requires reducing the blade's temperature to less than -300 degrees Fahrenheit, then slowly bringing it back up to room temperature. The stress created by this process strengthens the stainless steel at the atomic level and increases the blade's overall durability and edge retention.
Ergonomic, Lightweight Design Ensures Comfortable Use
Even if your blade is sharp, it's hard to make precise cuts if your knife doesn't fit comfortably in your hand. That's why this knife's handle is ergonomically contoured. Crafted from tough, glass-reinforced Zytel, the handle is well-balanced and features SOG's unique Digi-Grip texturing, a feature that gives you gripping power where you need it most. Additionally, the grooved handle allows you to cut heavy cord and cable without having to open the blade.
At just 3.6 ounces, this folding knife is lightweight and easy to carry. A reversible, bayonet-mounted clip extends from the back of the handle, allowing the knife to sit low in your pocket for the most discreet carry possible. The removable clip is easily switched for right/left hand-carry.
This knife is backed by a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in manufacturing and materials.
