4.51 / 5.00Tester Review:
I had an opportunity to test the SOG Trident Folder knife. This knife is flat out awesome. It has a great design. Finger grips, belt clip, lanyard hole, safety latch and the S.A.T. which practically opens the knife for you once you start the motion. The safety gives you the comfort of knowing the knife will not open on you by accident but is positioned and marked in red for quick deployment. It also has a cutting grove which worked great. I tried it on some webbing and a seat belt and it went through with no problem. My particular knife had a tiger stripe blade which just set off the knife.
I would recommend this knife to anyone. It is one of the best I have seen.

- Description
-
The SOG Trident uses our well-proven means of delivering a knife blade to the open position with S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology™) Now using our 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, etc. without having to open the blade. The handle also includes a Digi-Grip™ variable pattern for coarser grip in areas that require it. Our bayonet style clip is easily switched for right/left hand carry or removed for pouch storage.Download User Guide

SOG Assisted Technology
SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.) works through the balance of opposing high-tension coil springs. As you initiate the opening action, the force propelling your blade open becomes greater than the force keeping it closed. The result is a blade that springs open instantly once it is engaged, seemingly on its own.

Durability Quality Cost Design Good knife
I have had this knife for over a year now I bought it for myself for my EDC I carry it with me everywhere I go the knife has held up very well the AUS-8 blade holds up great it is light weight thanks to the glass reinforced handle I can hardly tell it is in my pocket the assisted opening works great it comes out very fast and lets you know that it means business!! sadly the rope cutter does not work that good it has a hard time making a smooth cut but then again why would you use the rope cutter when you have a knife blade right there? the lock is great it is very strong and easy to disengage when you are ready to close the knife the pocket clip is very cool the one complaint though is that some times when you are trying to pull it out of your pants pocket it gets hung outer than that this is a great knife it defiantly holds up to the day to day challenges like i said i use it every day and that is not babying it ether i really use it good knife i recommend it thank you.

SOG Unconditional Pocket Clip Warranty
Pocket clips can be broken if they are accidentally caught on foreign objects while wearing. To help prevent such occurrences, SOG recommends that you wear your knife in your front pocket, with the knife inside your pocket.

Damage to a knife handle because a clip has snagged is not considered "normal," and any such damage will be assessed under warranty. Learn more about replacing pocket clips in Knife & Tool Care.
