SOG Aegis Mini AO Folder Black GRN Handle AUS-8 Black TiNi Drop Point Blade SOG-AE-22

The SOG Aegis Mini AO Folder Throwback Edition brings compact tactical performance into a lightweight everyday carry platform built for speed, control, and dependable cutting power. Designed for users who want a smaller footprint without giving up capability, this mini Aegis delivers assisted-opening convenience, durable materials, and a refined tactical profile that’s ready for daily use.

At the core is a 3" 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 provides consistent edge performance that holds up well under regular use while remaining simple to maintain. The blade is finished in a hardcased black TiNi coating, improving wear resistance, reducing glare, and giving the knife a bold, low-profile tactical appearance.

The drop point blade shape offers excellent versatility, featuring a strong, controllable tip suited for precision tasks while still delivering reliable performance for general utility cutting. A flat grind and plain edge design enhance slicing efficiency and control, making it effective across a wide range of everyday applications. At 0.13" blade thickness, the blade maintains a durable, confident structure while still feeling fast and responsive 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 immediate access without hesitation. Once open, the piston locking mechanism engages securely, holding the blade firmly in place for stable, 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 yet highly durable. It provides a secure, comfortable grip and holds up well to daily wear and impact. At just 4.1" closed length and 2 oz. in weight, the Aegis Mini is built for effortless pocket carry, disappearing easily until it’s needed.

With an overall length of 7.1", this compact folder delivers a capable cutting edge in a streamlined design that’s ideal for everyday carry. A reversible deep-carry belt clip adds versatility, allowing discreet and customizable carry for left- or right-side preference.

The SOG Aegis Mini AO Folder Throwback Edition delivers black TiNi AUS-8 drop point steel, black FRN handle, piston lock security, and assisted opening speed in an ultra-light tactical EDC platform.
