SOG Aegis Assisted Folding Knife Black GRN Handle Black TiNi AUS-8 Drop Point Blade SOG-AE-02

The SOG Aegis Assisted Folding Knife Throwback Edition brings back a trusted design built for fast deployment, dependable strength, and everyday carry performance. Engineered for users who want a tactical edge in a practical, no-nonsense package, this folder combines assisted-opening speed, durable materials, and a streamlined profile that’s ready for real-world use.

At the core is a 3.5" drop point blade crafted from AUS-8 stainless steel, a proven steel valued for its balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. Heat treated to an RC hardness of 57-58, it delivers consistent edge performance that holds up well under regular use while remaining easy to maintain over time. The blade is finished in a hardcased black TiNi coating, adding enhanced wear resistance and reducing glare while giving it a bold, tactical appearance suited for demanding environments.

The drop point blade shape offers excellent versatility, featuring a strong, controllable tip that performs well in both precision tasks and general utility cutting. A flat grind and plain edge design ensure efficient slicing performance with solid control and clean cutting capability. At 0.13" blade thickness, the blade maintains a strong, durable structure without feeling overly heavy or sluggish in hand.

The assisted opening mechanism delivers fast, one-handed deployment, allowing the blade to spring into action smoothly and reliably when needed. It’s built for speed and consistency, giving you immediate access without hesitation. Once open, the piston lock mechanism engages securely, holding the blade firmly in place for confident use during demanding cutting tasks.

The handle is constructed from glass-reinforced nylon (FRN), finished in black for a clean, understated tactical look. Lightweight yet durable, it provides a secure grip while standing up to daily wear and tear. At 4.75" closed length and 3.1 oz., the Aegis carries comfortably in pocket or pack without adding unnecessary bulk, making it ideal for everyday carry.

With an overall length of 8.25", the knife delivers a full-hand feel when deployed while still maintaining a compact, easy-carry footprint. A reversible deep-carry belt clip allows for discreet and flexible carry options, whether left- or right-side preference.

The SOG Aegis Assisted Folding Knife Throwback Edition delivers black TiNi AUS-8 drop point steel, black FRN handle, piston lock security, and assisted opening speed in a durable tactical EDC platform.
