Ambidextrous Professional Straight Folding Knives: SOG Trident with Heat-Treated CRYO D2 3.75 Stainless Steel Blade

SOG Trident AT Straight Folding Knives: A Renowned Tactical Companion

The Trident AT, a folding knife designed for professional users, boasts rapid assisted opening, thanks to SOG's innovative ambidextrous AT-XR Lock. This feature, coupled with an integrated line cutter and glass breaker, makes the Trident AT a highly functional and versatile tool. With a 3.75" cryogenically heat-treated D2 stainless steel blade, the knife is easy to carry and built to withstand the harshest conditions.

The powerful AT-XR locking mechanism, a hallmark of the Trident series, features a built-in blade locking safety and a spine-mounted safety system, ensuring secure and reliable operation. This next evolution of the field-proven Trident pocket knife is a testament to SOG's commitment to innovation and quality.

The SOG story began in Vietnam, where members of a highly classified US special ops unit, known as MACV-SOG, carried a unique combat knife on covert missions. In 1986, this knife inspired a young designer, Spencer Frazer, to found SOG Specialty Knives. His mission: to reproduce the original SOG Bowie knife and pay tribute to the special ops unit that created it.

From this single commemorative model, SOG has evolved into a full line of innovative tools, field-proven by US Special Forces and even honored as the Navy SEAL knife of choice. Today, SOG knives are carried with confidence into the most demanding situations, forged out of tradition, hardened in the field, and honed for the user.

The Trident AT Straight Folding Knife is a modern update based on the feedback from professional users. It is built to hold up in the harshest conditions, balancing purposeful design with heavy-duty performance and reliability. Every element of the Trident AT folding knife has been developed for extreme or emergency situations, including the fast blade open, line cutter, and glass breaker, all seamlessly integrated with a high-grip textured and durable handle.

SOG's AT-XR Lock technology delivers fast one-handed open and solid lock-up once open. Reliable and powerful, able to withstand 1500 pounds of force, the AT-XR Lock provides the built-in blade locking security when open and ensures it only opens when intended. The Safety 2.0 feature, designed to be intuitive and utilize natural hand movements, means users don't have to break their grip to operate the knife. Once open, the knife locks in place as a thumb backstop, and the ambidextrous design ensures fast deployment, even when wearing gloves.

The Trident AT's blade is made of a versatile high-carbon tool steel, D2, which is cryogenically heat-treated to SOG's unique performance specifications. This combination provides the ideal balance of edge retention and durability for long-term use with ease of maintenance, making the Trident AT a true workhorse in the field.
