The SOG Aegis AT delivers precision cutting performance with its 3.13-inch drop point blade crafted from premium D2 tool steel. This tactical folding knife combines advanced metallurgy with ergonomic design for professionals who demand reliability in critical situations.
What Makes This Different
The Aegis AT features a black TiNi (Titanium Nitride) coating over D2 steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and reduced friction compared to standard stainless steel blades. The cryogenic treatment process enhances the steel's molecular structure, resulting in improved edge retention and durability. This coating system maintains the blade's sharpness 40% longer than untreated steel while reducing maintenance requirements.
Key Features
- 3.13-inch drop point blade in cryogenically treated D2 tool steel with black TiNi coating
- Glass-reinforced nylon (GRN) handle with moss green accents for enhanced grip
- SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.) for rapid one-handed deployment
- Ambidextrous thumb studs and pocket clip for versatile carry options
- Liner lock mechanism provides secure blade lockup during use
- Overall length of 7.5 inches when open, 4.37 inches when closed
- Lightweight construction at 3.7 ounces for everyday carry comfort
Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F. The D2 steel composition (1.5% carbon, 12% chromium) maintains a Rockwell hardness of 59-61 HRC, delivering exceptional edge retention for extended cutting tasks. The assisted opening mechanism reduces deployment time to under 0.3 seconds while maintaining safety through the integrated lock system.
