SOG: Aegis Knife

The SOG Aegis line of premier folders are top-end. When you start to open the knife, let Aegis finish the job with a bang, using one of the surest assisted technologies out there.

Just how does the SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.) work? Through the balance of opposing high-tension coil springs. As you begin the opening action, the force that propels your blade open becomes greater than the force keeping it closed, resulting in a blade that springs open instantly once it's engaged.

The Aegis is made of AUS-8 Steel, containing higher chromium content and requiring less maintenance than entry-level grades of steel. The straight-edge blade feature is the standard for general knives and cutlery and the ideal choice for hunting. Sharpening this blade is easy and quick.

Users love the low-carry belt clip that is reversible, allowing you freedom and flexibility with how you prefer to carry. The clip point is a great all-around format that's popular and used on most bowie knives.

Kershaw: Thermite

Once the Kershaw Thermite knife was introduced last year, it's been in high demand ever since. Kershaw has now given it a new look with the "blackwash" finish. 

What is blackwash, you ask? It's that already-broken-in-look that people love, kind of like your favorite well-worn pair of jeans. The coating provides a nice extra protection for the metal but the blackwash design helps to hide any additional scratches you may put on the knife during normal use.

While the look may be changed, the Thermite's tactical styling and practical performance, designed by Rick Hinderer, will not. This is a no-nonsense functionality, but with enough style to be an exceptionally eye-catching knife and blackwash just makes it more so.

For easy opening the Thermite is equipped with SpeedSafe which can be assessed with the ambidextrous flipper or thumbstud. The 3.5" blade is hollow-ground, with provides excellent slicing ability.

Specifications:

• SpeedSafe® assisted opening
• Frame lock with lockbar stabilizer
• Flipper and thumbstud
• 4-position deep-carry pocketclip (right/left; tip-up/down)
• Stainless steel blade, BlackWash™ finish
• Handle: Machined G-10 front, 410 steel back, BlackWash™ finish
• Blade length: 3.5 in. (8.9 cm)
• Closed length: 4.9 in. (12.4 cm)
