The SOG Trident AT has a 3.7-inch D2 straight clip point blade in a titanium nitride finish, a black handle, and SOG’s XR lock.
Assisted opening is the AT line’s defining feature: a spring finishes the motion once the blade is started, so it deploys in one movement even with cold or gloved hands. The XR lock then holds it, a spring-loaded crossbar released from either side, so the knife suits either hand and closes without fingers crossing the blade path. A straight clip point keeps the spine flat to the tip rather than curving, which leaves somewhere to place a thumb for pressure during controlled cuts.
Titanium nitride is a hard ceramic coating deposited onto the steel, adding surface hardness and cutting glare rather than simply coloring the blade. D2 is a semi-stainless tool steel that holds a working edge far longer than budget stainless, though it needs to be dried after it gets wet. Explore more Assisted Opening Knives.
