The SOG Aegis Assisted Folding Knife Throwback Edition brings back a proven design built for fast access, dependable cutting performance, and everyday carry durability. Engineered for users who want a balance of speed, control, and strength, this folder delivers a tactical edge in a refined, practical platform that’s ready for real-world use.
At the core is a 3.5" drop point blade crafted from AUS-8 stainless steel, a trusted steel known for its solid toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. Heat treated to an RC hardness of 57-58, it provides reliable edge retention while remaining easy to maintain over time. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, classic appearance while helping reduce friction during cutting tasks, keeping performance smooth and consistent.
The drop point blade shape offers excellent versatility, featuring a strong, controllable tip that handles both precision work and general utility cutting with ease. Combined with a flat grind and plain edge, the blade delivers efficient slicing performance and solid control across a wide range of everyday applications. At 0.13" blade thickness, it maintains a strong, durable profile without sacrificing agility or responsiveness in hand.
The assisted opening mechanism ensures quick, one-handed deployment, allowing the blade to spring into action smoothly when needed. It’s designed for speed and reliability, giving you fast access without hesitation. Once open, the piston locking mechanism engages securely, holding the blade firmly in place for confident use during demanding tasks.
The handle is constructed from glass-reinforced nylon (FRN), finished in black for a clean, tactical look that stays lightweight and durable. It offers a secure, comfortable grip while resisting wear from daily use. At 4.75" closed length and 3.1 oz., the Aegis carries easily in pocket or pack without unnecessary bulk, making it ideal for everyday carry.
With an overall length of 8.25", the knife provides a full, capable grip when deployed while still maintaining a compact footprint when closed. A reversible deep-carry belt clip allows for discreet and customizable carry, whether you prefer left- or right-side positioning.
The SOG Aegis Assisted Folding Knife Throwback Edition delivers satin AUS-8 drop point steel, black FRN handle, piston lock security, and assisted opening speed in a lightweight, dependable EDC platform.
