Our 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 our 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 our well-proven means of delivering a knife blade to the open position with S.A.T. 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. More information on SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.™).
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. See the story of how Robert Hanna invented the new patent-pending Groove™.
SOG Assisted Technology SOG Assisted Technology works through the balance of opposing high-tension coil springs. As one opens the blade the force to propel the knife open becomes greater than the closing force and the blade will open on its own. The end result propels the blade out once the operator has initiated the one-handed opening action. S.A.T. works so well that right-handers can use their left hand equally well to open a folding knife (of course this works oppositely for lefties).
Cryogenic Heat Treatment SOG's unique cryogenic heat treatment process increases the toughness and wear resistance of our blades. Taking the knife slowly down in temperature to less than -300°F and then back to room temperature. This stress relieves the material on an atomic level and increases overall strength as well as edge retention. Knife edges stay sharp longer with significantly less micro-fracturing and edge-chipping. Its this dedication to making your knife SOG sharp that sets us apart from the rest. |

This was my favorite knife in a large collection until i got my flash 1. But it still has room in my pocket. I got this quite awhile back, probably two years ago. I think its a pretty neat knife, it got me into sog's big time. I love the big blade and the clip(which is very excellent and reversible) everything else about this knife is just as good. The blade when opened does move slightly side to side but this can be mended with a small allen wrench. I find that i don't use the thumb notch on the blade that much but it is good to have anyway. The blade came out of the box pretty sharp and it stayed that way for quite awhile.The arc-lock on the trident is pretty easy to use one handed and its comfortable(and actually more comfortable than the flash series). The cord cutting notch that's in the handle is great for kite string size cord but i don't use it for paracord really. I dont carry this knife as much as i used to because of the weight, which is actually pretty good for what you get.
