SOG Trident Tanto Folding Knife Review 

The Sog Trident mini is an excellent knife. I like the light weight of the knife and the heat treated blade never goes dull. It's just a solid reliable knife for the price.

I still have mine, just got it back from sog for sharpening and a new pocketclip. Things a tank.

Thank you! I always miss stuff I wanted to say, but I try to cover the bases.

The Ageis has a different blade profile, and completely different handle shape as well as rubber inserts and to cord cutter. I prefer the Trident Tanto, but I'm sure both are good.

Good review, simple, precise, and short. Nutnfancy could learn a thing or two from you

It varies a lot. I think m.s.r.p. is $120, but I bought it for $60 at a local sporting goods store.

The Schrade First Response is a pretty well-regarded knife with strap cutter and class breaker.

The reason the blade locks is so u can use the seatbelt cutter for emergencies its not for a rope.

Clean ass knife to be carried around for two years.

There's a lot of great knives for under $100. My thoughts on a "seatbelt cutter" is that any sharp knife will do it. I don't know of many folding knives with glass breakers though. I like this knife, or a Spyderco Manix 2, or a Benchmade Griptilian or for a tad more a Benchmade Mini Onslaught. You can't go wrong with the SOG though, or in this price point a Spyderco Tenacious. Good luck!

I removed the safety . There was no way to keep it from going in to safe mode . Nice knife but the safety mechanism SUCKS and will get you killed if one needs to get the knife into action in a hurry . Thanks for your video .

Yeah, I've looked at them but they all seem too heavy for thier sizes.

@james106810 Ooh, sorry to hear that. I hate over regulations. Here each state is different, but in Ohio there's no regulation. However if you rob someone with it, or commit any crime, then it's considered a weapon. Some states have a limit on maximum blade length. It's best not to flash it around in either case if you do carry one. Thanks for the comment!

I've always wanted a heat treated blade.

I noticed (I only have 3 smith & wesson knives) they are impossible to sharpen and keep sharp, I think they use some kind of inferior steel, my cold steel, sog, benchmade and kershaw knives all stay hair splitting sharp but not matter what sharpening system I use on the s&w's they won't keep an edge :(

dark knife with dark back ground. works well

i have a question and i hope you could help me out with a answer. im looking for a folding knive with a glass breaker and seatbelt cutter, what knive do you recommend under 100 bucks. im looking to buy the one you are showing but wonder if their are other better ones for under 100

Yeah, but compared to what else is out there, it really is inexpensive for what it is.

I have a question for you photo314159. I am getting a folding knife for camping and hiking and i am deciding between the SOG trident(which is my personal favorite as i have the SOG seal pup and it is my favorite knife)and two smith and wesson m&p spring assist knifes and i need your opinion on which would you choose.

Yep, that's as low as I've seen it. My friend picked one up for the same.

...And this has no serrations on the blade, which I prefer. :)

Thanks.

To me it looks like something Rambo might carry as a backup blade.

The cutting thing that's diagonal is a seat belt cutter

I have that same exact knife. Exept the blade isnt tanto style...it seemed like a crap knife but i guess i thought wrong

I've got a SOG powerassist multitool and the blades keep coming loose, if you tighten it they don't open,,,, will this not happen to this?

@thegunguy2011 Sure it's a great knife, the Elite version is even better. My only critique would be the handle, it feels like plastic. But the knife is pretty much bombproof.

The manager I work at has this exact knife he's had it for 5 years and it's bad ass he loves to come out to the shop and throw his knife at the wall lol and recently the tip broke but I re grind it it's good now haha

I'd say stay away from the Smith & Wesson knives. They make great guns, and not so great knives unfortunately from what I've seen. I'd go with the Sog. I use this one a lot.

*no cord cutter that is.

How much is it?

Would you trade it in for a sog trident elite?

This one isn't anywhere close. More like $50-$80. Some of them get nuts though.

but I love my home land security survival knife...

Just FYI, stay away from smith and wesson blades... They make good guns, but the knives...not so much...

I got it for $50 at Wal-Mart

legit

S&W need to stick to guns... The knives are cheap...not good....

"dont carry it while grocery shopping" ?? ..lol whatever

Dick's sports, I paid 59.99 plus tax..

500$ fuck that!

Smith&Wesson are junk
