SOG Trident Assisted Opening Folder Black GRN Handle AUS-8 Satin Clip Point Blade

The SOG Trident Assisted Opening Folder is a throwback edition that brings back a proven favorite with modern reliability and everyday carry practicality. Built for users who appreciate fast deployment, dependable materials, and a clean tactical profile, this knife blends classic SOG design cues with updated performance where it counts.

At the core is a 3.75" clip point blade made from AUS-8 stainless steel, a trusted workhorse steel known for its balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, refined look while helping reduce friction during cutting tasks. With a straight edge profile, it delivers controlled slicing performance and clean, precise cuts across a wide range of everyday and utility applications. The 0.13" blade thickness adds durability without overbuilding the profile, keeping it strong yet agile in hand.

Measuring 8.5" overall with a 4.75" closed length, the Trident offers a solid full-hand grip when open while still carrying comfortably in pocket. At 3.6 oz., it maintains a lightweight feel that won’t weigh you down during daily use. The glass-reinforced nylon (GRN) handle in matte black keeps things simple, strong, and functional, delivering impact resistance and a secure grip in varied conditions without unnecessary bulk or flash.

The assisted opening mechanism ensures fast, smooth blade deployment with a simple thumb stud action, making it quick to access when time matters. Once deployed, the piston locking mechanism secures the blade firmly in place, offering dependable lockup and confidence during use. It’s a design focused on control, safety, and speed without sacrificing durability. A unique cutout in the handle allows you to cut cord, fishing line, or seatbelts while the blade is still closed. 

A reversible low-carry belt clip adds versatility, allowing for discreet and comfortable carry whether you prefer left- or right-side setup. This adaptability makes it a strong option for both everyday users and those who rotate carry positions based on activity or environment.

The SOG Trident Assisted Opening Folder stands as a refined throwback design that still delivers modern utility, pairing AUS-8 steel, satin finish, assisted opening speed, and a secure piston lock in a proven black GRN handled clip point platform.
