SOG Trident Mini AO Folder Black GRN W/ Groove Handle Satin Clip Point Blade

The SOG Trident Mini AO Folder Throwback Edition brings a proven design into a more compact, everyday-friendly size without losing the toughness and functionality that made the original series a standout. Built for users who want fast access, lightweight carry, and dependable cutting performance, this mini version delivers serious capability in a streamlined, pocket-ready profile.

At the core is a 3.15" clip point blade made from AUS-8 stainless steel, a trusted workhorse steel known for its balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy sharpening. Heat treated to an HRC of 57-58, it provides consistent performance for daily tasks while remaining simple to maintain over time. The satin finish adds a clean, classic look while also helping reduce friction during use, keeping cuts smooth and controlled.

The clip point blade shape enhances versatility, offering a fine, controllable tip that excels in precision work while still maintaining strength for general utility cutting. With a blade thickness of 0.11", it strikes a strong balance between durability and agility, giving you a knife that feels solid in hand without becoming bulky or overbuilt.

The Trident Mini is equipped with an assisted opening mechanism, allowing for quick, one-handed deployment when you need it most. The action is smooth and responsive, making it easy to bring the blade into play with minimal effort. Once open, it locks securely, providing dependable stability for everyday cutting tasks.

The handle is constructed from glass-reinforced nylon (GRN) with a grooved texture, finished in black for a clean, tactical appearance. A unique cutout in the handle allows you to cut cord, fishing line, or seatbelts while the blade is still closed.  The groove pattern enhances grip security, giving you better control in both dry and wet conditions while maintaining a lightweight feel. At just 2.25 oz., this knife is designed for effortless pocket carry, making it ideal for users who prioritize minimal weight without sacrificing function.

With an overall length of 7.18", the Trident Mini sits comfortably between compact carry and usable blade length, giving you enough reach for real tasks while still staying easy to carry every day. It’s a practical tool built for reliability, speed, and consistent performance in a smaller footprint.

The SOG Trident Mini AO Folder Throwback Edition delivers satin AUS-8 clip point steel, grooved black GRN handle, assisted opening speed, and ultra-light compact EDC utility.
