SOGTrident at Ambidextrous Professional Partially Serrated Folding Knives | Heat-Treated CRYO D2 Stainless Steel Blade

Relatively inexpensive and great value. It has all the features that I need for my needs for every day carry situations.

This is a very nice knife for a decent price

I’ve owned three versions of SOG Trident. This is the best version yet.Although, it has taken some months to get used to the new style locking mechanism. I feel like it’s a lot more secure and effective than previous versions. If you break it down once in a wheel, clean it and oil it up, then loctite the screws.. this will last you a few years. Good price. I used my knives every day. I don’t go easy on them. I expect them to hold up. This one fits the bill.

Very sharp out of the box and has a solid feel. There’s no play in the blade and when it’s locked it’s locked. Has a really nice feel and fits in the hand very well. Probably the most versatile flip knife I currently own. And the assisted opening is very sensitive, just a light flick of the thumb and the blade swings open and locked which is very nice.

The design of the seatbelt cutter is ingenious.The "glass-breaker" is a tiny blob of metal, what almost looks like a dollop of solder, not wider in diameter than a peppercorn. It's a joke. For this what feels like false advertising, I give three stars, when otherwise I would have given four.From the photos, I inferred that the glass breaker was meant to be the end of the lanyard loop, but this is not the case. They could have instead have made the lanyard loop come to a dull point, and made this the glass breaker instead.An additional issue with the lanyard loop is that it sticks out far higher than makes any conceivable sense, increasing the profile of the knife and the length of it, without any corresponding enhancement to ergonomics or blade length.The choice of steel is questionable, as it is a cheap, low quality steel, and can corrode (some high quality steels are nonstainless but have other benefits, this one is not one of those steels). But the application of a small amount of oil to the knife in a thin layer apparently can forestall rust effectively, or so I hear.The lock and automatic opening is not something I prefer, but is OK. Really, a simple flipper with no safety and no assisted opening (the assisted opening is probably what necessitated the inclusion of a safety in the first place), is a much more logical design for the intended use case of a rescue situation/escape from a auto collision.But the seatbelt cutter being part of the blade (or rather, simply *being* the blade itself) is the most brilliant part of the design. The advantage being, that there is no seatbelt cutter to intrude on the handle when the knife is open, and the seatbelt cutter is sharpened alongside the main blade. This attracted me to this knife. There are no other knives on the market that behave this way, which is very surprising, given how logical this design is.The blade length is also very pragmatic -- not too short, not too long.

Great knife

Awesome!! Brand new. Quick delivery.Thank you.

This knife is assisted opening and use of the safety is highly recommended. Blade is quite sharp and good steel. Glass breaker and line cutter could be very helpful in a vehicle accident. The axis like lock is a nice improvement. Good knife.
