SOG TAC AU Compact Automatic Knife Partially Serrated Black AUSOG15380857

The SOG TAC AU Compact Automatic Knife in Black delivers fast deployment, lightweight carry, and dependable cutting performance in a streamlined everyday platform. Built for users who want serious capability in a compact size, it balances strength and portability with clean, tactical styling.

The 2.94-inch partially serrated drop point blade is crafted from D2 tool steel, a material known for its toughness and strong edge retention. The serrated section adds extra cutting power for rope, cord, and other fibrous materials, while the plain edge portion handles controlled slicing tasks with precision. A durable black-coated finish enhances corrosion resistance and reduces glare, giving the blade a low-profile, mission-ready appearance.

This model features an out-the-side automatic design powered by SOG’s AU-XR opener and locking system. With a simple action, the blade deploys quickly and locks securely, offering confident performance when rapid access matters. The mechanism is engineered for smooth operation and dependable engagement, making it a practical choice for everyday carry.

The textured anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handles provide lightweight strength and a secure grip. Their durable construction supports long-term use while keeping the overall weight to just 2.8 ounces. A tip-up pocket clip allows for convenient carry, and the integrated lanyard hole adds additional versatility for retention options.

Measuring 4.06 inches closed, the TAC AU Compact fits comfortably in pocket or pack, delivering automatic capability in a compact footprint. Proudly made in the USA, it reflects SOG’s commitment to precision engineering and performance-driven design.
