SOG Trident - Sea, Air, & Land
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, etc., without having to open the blade. See the story of the invention of the patent-pending Groove™.

The Trident's blade is an evolution as well. Taking key elements from previous blade shapes created a distinct hybrid of form and function.

Check out the introduction of a whole new tactile handle concept called Digi-Grip™. With this variable patterning we 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 our bayonet style clip, which is easily switched for right/left hand carry or removed for pouch storage.

The Trident embodies the spirit of our elite special forces throughout the world. The only thing that it doesn't come with is testosterone...you have to supply that.

S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) is the brainchild of world famous designer Spencer Frazer: "I had this feeling that I could devise a whole new technology to help open a knife blade quickly." S.A.T. allows right-handers to use their left hand equally well to open a folding knife (of course this works the same for lefties). It is also advantageous as well in case someone has an injured hand or is not adept at opening a knife easily. Gary Drake, a top defensive tactics instructor who works with SWAT teams and other special ops, states that unlike a switchblade knife, S.A.T. allows for a positive knowledge of where the knife blade is. Switchblades can sometimes get hung up in loose clothing or not open fully for a variety of reasons. This is a problem for law enforcement personnel. With S.A.T., since your finger is on the knife blade, you know if there has been a mishap and can immediately correct it. There is also the "wow" factor. We find that people who get used to S.A.T. get accustomed to its practicality and will choose it over other companies' conventional mechanisms.

All of this magic is accomplished with a simple principle. There is a constant force to open a blade and a variable force that wants to close the blade. 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 beauty of this is that we have come up with several mechanisms to accomplish this," says Spencer. The Flash uses a piston lock, the Blink uses a lockback, and the Twitch uses a lockback with a pass-through lockbar. These are just a few of the mechanisms that we are working on that are covered under the multiple patents. Most of the opening springs we are using are high-tension coil springs. These springs work through the entire range of opening (180 degrees). This insures reliability.

Of particular interest is that S.A.T. has allowed us to transform the standard lockback knife, which is one of the oldest known knife locks on the planet, and take it into the 21st century. "The simplest designs are sometimes the hardest to figure out," according to Spencer, "but this is a great one." S.A.T. allows us to use locking mechanisms that are stronger and more reliable than the conventional liner locks and that are easier and safer to use. This is definitely one of the plusses of S.A.T., since a knife is only as good as its lock. Also our locks are much easier to access ambidextrously (we haven't forgotten about you lefties!).

SOG is known for producing high quality knife and tool products. The S.A.T. family of products is produced in the U.S. to extremely high standards and tolerances and is warranted for life.

The Groove
Over years of military experience an active duty Navy SEAL, witnessed a recurring theme: open blades are useful and necessary but dangerous to equipment and personnel. His own personal experience with this problem occurred while training off the coast where his platoon was deploying inflatable boats, and themselves, out of a fixed wing aircraft. Being new and the first one to the boat after it landed in the water, he began cutting away the rigging that attached the parachute to the boat with his knife. He punctured the back of the boat and put his squad at a great disadvantage for the rest of the night.

That experience, coupled with countless stories of injuries to people and equipment, led him to invent the patent pending "GROOOOVE!". He spent months drafting and testing prototypes. This new innovation allows rope/line to be cut without opening the knife

Titanium Nitride (TiNi) Finish
Titanium Nitride coatings are some of the toughest coatings that can be applied to steel. They exhibit extreme hardness, are exceptionally scratch and peel resistant and help increase longevity. This coating is applied using a unique process of plasma deposition that occurs in a complete vacuum. We like it so much we don't just coat the blade, we TiNi coat our pocket clips and hardware. You can't find this attention to detail anywhere else.
