The SOG Specialty Knives & Tools TF21-CP Trident Mini is a unique, versatile and fast opening folding knife that provides many different uses, while showcasing SOG’s style and quality construction. Made of AUS-8 steel with an attractive hardcase black TiNi finish, the 3.15-inch partially serrated, folding blade has a clip point shape that allows a quicker and deeper puncture upon insertion and makes quick work of any task. SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.) works through the balance of opposing high-tension coil springs. As you initiate the opening action, the force propelling your blade open becomes greater than the force keeping it closed. The result is a blade that springs open instantly once it is engaged, seemingly on its own. The piston locking mechanism uses a movable bar that's wedged between the blade tang and knife handle to lock the blade in place while in the open position. The ergonomically contoured and well-balanced handle has a black finish and is made of a high strength, abrasion and impact resistant glass-reinforced nylon that will fit comfortably in your hand. The Digi-Grip variable pattern provides a secure, no-slip grip and the base of the handle sports a groove that allows the user to cut paracord, fishing line and other cord-sized objects without having to open the blade. The reversible belt clip provides a low and discrete carry for right and left handed users or can be removed for pouch storage. The TF21-CP has a closed length of 4.03-inches, overall length of 7.18-inches and weighs 2.25-ounces. The SOG TF21-CP Trident Mini Knife comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Each SOG product is created with the help of company founder and chief engineer, Spencer Frazer. Known for their uncompromising style and performance, these knives and tools showcase innovation, dependability and a unique, futuristic style that has garnered awards and recognition worldwide.
Blending elements from the Bowie, Tomcat, SEAL Pup and Flash series knives, SOG Specialty Knives and Tools created a new breed of folding knife: the TF-21 Trident Mini knife, with partially-serrated blade and black TiNi coating. Originally designed for the Navy SEALs, the TF-21 features SOG's grooved handle, which allows you to cut heavy cord and cable without having to open the specially designed blade. The TF-21's blade is easy to open and features Arc-Actuator technology, which helps the blade lock securely and release with ease.
The SOG Specialty Knives TF-21 Trident Mini offers:
- A half-serrated edge blade with a black TiNi finish
- Patented SOG Assisted Technology for fast, easy opening
- A strong, reliable blade locking system
- A contoured, glass-reinforced nylon handle
- Handle "groove" for cutting cord or seatbelt
Cryogenic Heat Treatment and TiNi Coating Guarantee a Sharp, Durable Blade
The TF-21 offers a full, 3.15-inch, AUS-8 stainless steel blade that has undergone SOG's patented Cryogenic Heat Treatment, which ensures this blade stays sharp over the long haul. This intensive process takes more than 48 hours and involves slowly reducing the blade's temperature to less than 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and then slowly heating the blade to room temperature. The stress created by this process strengthens the steel on an atomic level and increases the blade's overall durability and edge retention.
In addition to having undergone the Cryogenic Heat Treatment Process, this knife is coated in proprietary titanium nitride (TiNi), one of the toughest coatings that can be applied to steel. TiNi boasts extreme hardness, is exceptionally scratch and peel resistant, helps increase steel's longevity and ensures low reflectivity.

SOG Assisted Technology Increases Speed, Safety, and Usability
When you start to open the TF-21 blade, SOG's patented S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) works through the balance of opposing high-tension coil springs. As one opens the blade, the force to propel the knife open becomes greater than the closing force, and the blade opens on its own. The end result is the blade propelling open once the operator has initiated the one-handed opening action. With fast, easy access, use the TF-21 blade whenever you need it.

Low-Carry Pocket Clip
The SOG Trident product line includes a reversible, low-carry bayonet pocket clip. The clip protrudes from the butt of the knife, providing discreet and accessible carry. Plus, the clip is easily reversible for whichever side is most convenient for you.
Ergonomic, Lightweight Design Ensures Comfortable Use
Even if your knife is sharp, it's hard to make precise cuts when it doesn't fit comfortably in your hand. This knife's handle is ergonomically contoured and crafted from tough, glass-reinforced nylon. The handle is well-balanced and features SOG's unique DigiGrip texturing, a feature that gives you gripping power where you need it most. Additionally, SOG's grooved handle allows you to cut heavy cord and cable without having to open the blade.
This knife is backed by a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in manufacturing and materials.
Safety Locking Mechanism
Along the handle of the knife you'll find a safety locking mechanism to hold the blade securely closed when not in use; this feature provides added security when the knife is stowed away.
