SOG Trident Mini AO Folder Black GRN W/Groove Handle Black TiNi Tanto Point Blade SOG-TF-27

The SOG Trident Mini AO Folder Throwback Edition takes a proven tactical platform and compresses it into a lightweight, fast-handling everyday carry knife built for efficiency, durability, and real-world utility. Designed for users who want compact size without sacrificing capability, this mini Trident delivers assisted-opening speed, reinforced geometry, and smart functional design in a pocket-friendly package.

At the core is a 3.15" tanto point blade made from AUS-8 stainless steel, a reliable, time-tested steel known for its solid toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. Heat treated to an HRC of 57-58, it offers dependable edge performance that holds up well to daily use while remaining simple to sharpen when needed. The blade is finished in a hardcased black TiNi coating, adding enhanced wear resistance and reducing glare while giving the knife a bold, tactical appearance built for hard use environments.

The tanto blade shape reinforces strength at the tip, making it especially effective for piercing tasks and controlled push-cutting. The angular geometry adds durability where it matters most, giving the blade extra confidence in demanding applications. With a slim 0.11" blade thickness, the Trident Mini maintains a fast, responsive feel without losing structural integrity, striking a strong balance between strength and agility.

One of the standout features of this design is its assisted opening mechanism, allowing for quick, one-handed deployment that feels smooth and consistent. It’s built for speed and reliability, giving you immediate access when seconds count. Once deployed, the blade locks securely, providing stable performance across a wide range of cutting tasks.

The handle is constructed from glass-reinforced nylon (GRN) with a grooved texture for enhanced grip and control. Finished in black, it maintains a clean, tactical look while offering lightweight durability for everyday carry. The grooved pattern helps ensure a secure hold even in wet or demanding conditions, keeping control firmly in your hand.

Adding to its utility, a unique integrated handle cutout allows you to safely cut cord, fishing line, or even seatbelts while the blade remains closed. This feature enhances safety and speed in situations where quick access to cutting power is critical.

At 7.18" overall and just 2.25 oz., the Trident Mini is built for easy carry without compromise, delivering functional performance in a compact footprint that disappears in the pocket until it’s needed.

The SOG Trident Mini AO Folder Throwback Edition delivers black TiNi AUS-8 tanto steel, grooved black GRN handle, assisted opening speed, and integrated closed-blade cutting utility.
