What also makes the Trident so unique is the patent pending Groove in the handle, which allows the operator to cut Para cord, fishing line, etcetera without having to open the blade.

The pros and cons kind of balance themselves out so I'll just say my thoughts in broken sentences.

-Handle- is strong...like Kansas! Feels weak because of the lightness--but the thing just won't scratch or crack...dropped it 40ft off a balcony on accident...no mark. Handle is a single piece of Zytel(a nylon base with glass reinforcements, DuPont invented it to be near indestructible and still be lightweight) with steel skeleton reinforcements, sturdy, but hard to clean the debris out. Best grip I've had on a folder. It's no Ka-Bar USMC, but the grip works well for multiple holding styles (from an extension hold to an icepick).

-Blade- American Tanto style. Not the Cold Steel chisel grind. This one actually keeps an edge and the straightness makes working it on a flat stone pretty easy. They'll say things like "double grind". Lamens Terms--The body(belly) of the blade is a hollow grind(curves like a parabola to a super sharp edge on both sides)to a straight grind on the tip (Not as sharp, but just about the strongest grind). This means you get a good cutting edge and a strong tip. The tip is also a drop point, so it feels a little more natural for tip control. The major drawbacks on this blade is it's strengths. The beefy blade and reinforced spine of the tanto tip means it could withstand a beating, but it's a little thick on the profile...and heavy for the Spring.

-Overall- Great knife, still the one I have in my pocket everyday. The tanto blade isn't as lightning fast as the large-bellied thin profiled clip-tip standardized with the SOG Trident, but I'm more about durability.
And the suggested retail price of the TiNi coated Trident Tanto is about $100. I think it's $108 on the official site as of 4-11-07. So if it's under $70, it's a steal.

This review is from: SOG Specialty Knives & Tools TF-7 Trident Tanto, Black TiNi (Tools & Home Improvement)

Purchased the SOG TF-7 Trident Tanto as a Christmas present for a family member. I considered Benchmade, Kershaw, Microtech, and CRKT. Most were very expensive compared to SOG. Was very pleased with the knife. It's a really good looking knife. Solid quality feel when in your hand, textured grip. If you have larger hands this knife fits perfectly. Opens very fast with the assist, and rock solid locking feature. Parts function very smooth, no rattles or gritty feel. The line cutting mechanism is a good add-on, especially if you're into fishing. Extremely sharp, makes cutting very quick and effortless. Has the tanto edge, black. No complaints at all. There are a few good youtube reviews as well, just google SOG Trident.

This knife is great for anyone out there. It's especially handy if you are in the emergency (Police, EMS, AFD, or military) but I think everyone should have one at all times.
