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

Well, first off, I ordered this on Saturday, and it was here on Monday, which blew me away. Secondly, you'll want to leave the belt clip on the side of the knife on which it comes. After switching my clip to the other side, I quickly learned why they put it on the side it came on. I was trying and trying to push the knife via clip into my front pocket, and it just would not go. I thought the clip was too tight, but that was not the problem. Suddenly, my pocket had a 6 inch cut down the side, and I realized that the belt cutter slot was getting caught on my pants pocket instead of the clip. So, I ruined a pair of my shorts. My fault, but I wish they had not made it where you could switch sides now. Anyway, the knife is excellent. Super sharp, assisted opening works well, and the lock up and lock itself are super tight. I really like the red on black color scheme as well, and the built-in belt cutter is really slick the way they built it into the handle using the blade of the knife instead of a separate razor blade in the handle. One last thing...do NOT forget to lock the blade shut when you close the knife. I forgot once and was messing around with it and the blade lifted slightly out of the handle and stabbed me in the thumb. It's quite sharp.

In my opinion, dollar for dollar, this is the best pocket folder one can own. I have worn many hats in my life from Marine, heavy facilities maintenance journeyman and deputy sheriff on the largest S.O. in the nation. Working knives were always a part of my everyday gear. In fact, they still are. Gerber, Case and old Remmington knives are fine knives for your money. I have a few Gerber, Case , Buck and Remmington knives. But my choice is SOG knives as they take the abuse and hard core use I put them through. They hold an edge in spite of me doing tasks that would easily dull lesser knives. I have bought seven SOG Tridents, 5 for gifts, one I lost and the one in my pocket. It still is sharp and as study when I bought it( I have sharpened it a few times. Other than my KaBar fighting knife, that I alway carry in my war-bag, the SOG Trident is my favorite knife. I go for pure function over fashion. I don't need an overpriced Benchmade when my Trident is a proven working knife at 1/3 the cost.

Super sharp and very well made. Feels right, very nice with spring action assist and sand paper like grip is preferred by user. The weight is right. Worth the money! Recommend Work Sharp field sharpening for future maintenance. Only disadvantages are the grip...doesn't come out of pocket easily. Not ideal for self defense situations

Just got off the phone with SOG in Texas. They’re making me pay to ship it all the way back to get a new knife. They do not do refunds cause I bought it from Amazon. Amazon would not do nothing for me because it’s past the time so now I’m having to pay. I don’t know how much to ship it back and get a new knife. That means I’m having to spend more money on a knife. I could’ve got from them directly only buy from sog.com.

Looks good, well done and sturdy, let's see how it holds up with daily use. I will update my review after a while..

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.

Like the locking system. Blade stays sharp for a significant time. Grip texture is very aggressive. It feels like it sticking to my clothing. Cool seat belt cutter design.

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.
