The SOG Twitch II delivers reliable cutting performance in a compact everyday carry package. This folding knife combines traditional craftsmanship with modern materials to create a versatile tool that handles daily tasks with precision.
What Makes This Different
The Twitch II features AUS-8A stainless steel, a Japanese steel known for superior edge retention and corrosion resistance compared to standard 440C steel. The drop point blade geometry provides maximum cutting surface while maintaining tip strength for detailed work. The satin finish reduces glare and resists fingerprints better than polished alternatives.
Key Features
- 2.65-inch AUS-8A stainless steel blade with HRC 57-58 hardness rating
- Drop point blade geometry optimized for versatility and tip strength
- Brown rosewood handle scales provide natural grip texture and durability
- Secure locking mechanism prevents accidental blade closure during use
- Removable pocket clip for convenient everyday carry positioning
- Satin blade finish reduces maintenance and conceals minor scratches
- Compact profile suitable for professional and recreational environments
Field performance demonstrates the AUS-8A steel's ability to maintain sharpness through extended cutting tasks while remaining easy to resharpen when needed. The blade length provides sufficient cutting capacity for utility work, food preparation, and outdoor activities without exceeding most workplace carry restrictions. Weather resistance makes this knife suitable for marine environments and humid conditions where carbon steels would corrode.
