The SOG Specialty Knives & Tools TF101-CP Trident Elite is a unique, versatile and fast opening folding knife that has many applications, while showcasing SOG's style and quality construction. Made of AUS-8 steel with an attractive satin polished finish, the 3.7-inch straight edge, folding blade has a clip point shape that allows for quicker and deeper puncture upon insertion and makes quick work of any task. SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.) works through the balance of opposing high-tension coil springs. As you initiate the opening action, the force propelling your blade open becomes greater than the force keeping it closed. The result is a blade that springs open instantly once it is engaged, seemingly on its own. The piston locking mechanism uses a movable bar that's wedged between the blade tang and knife handle to lock the blade in place while in the open position. The ergonomically contoured and well-balanced handle has a black finish and is made of a high strength, abrasion and impact resistant glass-reinforced nylon and rubber over mold that will fit comfortably in your hand. The handle sports a groove that allows the user to cut par cord, fishing line and other cord-sized objects without having to open the blade. The reversible belt clip provides a low and discrete carry for right and left handed users or can be removed for pouch storage. The TF101-CP has a closed length of 4.8-Inch, overall length of 8.7-Inch, blade thickness of 3.7-Inch and weighs 4.4-ounces. The SOG Specialty Knives & Tools TF101-CP Trident Elite comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Each SOG product is created with the help of company founder and chief engineer, Spencer Frazer. Known for their uncompromising style and performance, these knives and tools showcase innovation, dependability and a unique, futuristic style that has garnered awards and recognition worldwide.
