SOG Assisted Technology Increases Speed, Safety, and UsabilityWhen you go to unfold the TWI-8's blade, SOG's patented S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) takes over. High-tension coil springs propel the blade open, so you can easily access the TWI-8's blade with just one hand. Additionally, the unique design of S.A.T. knives offers security and peace of mind by incorporating locking mechanisms that are stronger, more reliable, and easier to access than conventional liner locks.
Cryogenic Heat Treatment for a Sharp, Dependable BladeThe TWI-8 offers a full, 2.68-inch, AUS8 stainless steel blade with an attractive satin finish. Because the workhorse of any knife is its cutting surface, SOG's proprietary Cryogenic Heat Treatment process ensures that its blade will stay sharp over the long haul. This intensive process takes more than 48 hours and requires reducing the blade's temperature to less than -300 degrees Fahrenheit, then slowly heating the blade to room temperature. The stress created by this process strengthens the stainless steel at the atomic level and increases the blade's overall durability and edge retention.
Ergonomic, Lightweight Design Ensures Comfortable UseEven if your blade is sharp, it's hard to make precise cuts if your knife does not fit comfortably in your hand. That's why this knife's handle is ergonomically contoured. Crafted from hard-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, the textured handle is also slip-free and well-balanced.
And at just 2.6 ounces, this folding knife is lightweight and easy to carry. A reversible clip extends from the back of the handle, allowing the knife to sit low in your pocket for the most discreet carry possible. An added bonus, the pocket clip can double as a money clip.
This knife is backed by a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in manufacturing and materials.

Customer Reviews & CommentsCompares well with more expensive knives. Solid as a rock, nice thin body made of stacked metal plates and anodized aluminum handles, with high-quality stainless blade. The I and II are good sizes for a gentlemen's knife, and the XL is my 'out on the weekend' knife. The assisted open works very well, it is just strong enough and does not produce a loud attention-getting snap as with some other brands. Nothing wrong with liner-locks, but I prefer the lock-back and the clip on the heel (that's just me), this knife has both. And the 'kick' opener is my favorite - since I don't need my thumb to open the knife, I can keep a better grip on the body with less effort. A winner all around. Buy two.
