Hello, I recently picked up this blade on a recent SOG sale. I take a first look and provide my thoughts on how I might use this. The knife is a blend of filed and soldier knife with a sheath optimized for LBE. Cheers
I have a few cheap SOG fixed blades, and theyre tough as hell; way tougher than they have any right to be especially for the prices i paid. I have one that i use solely for batonning through knot filled wood, and its been twisted and bent in every way possible but its still kicking!
Although I have a few collector knives, it is getting much harder to justify them when they just go in a drawer. I guess, that is what has attracted me to SOG since they not only have good designs, but also above average quality and features for their class. Thanks for watching.
Hi, the Trident is made in Taiwan and the Tellus is China. The Trident is definitely a step above the Tellus in terms of the blade material, blade geometry, coating and overall fit and finish. Not a huge difference, but falls in line with SOGs other mid range knives that are Taiwanese in origin. Watching the video again, I discuss the differences I'm seeing in manufactering locations.

COOL knife. I have it too and it's great.
I like the knife a lot. Lite, agile, lays flat against body so carries nicely. Still working on a good belt clip but making progress.
I’m liking it so far. Needs some work to make it a good belt knife though
nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Both these knives are made in Taiwan ?
