(SOG Assisted Technology) knives offers security and peace of mind by incorporating locking mechanisms that are stronger, more reliable, and easier to access than conventional liner locks. On the TWI-221, this means a sophisticated revisioning of the classic lockback knife design. The kick of this knife's blade sticks through a pass-through lock bar. To initiate opening of the blade, you simply press on the kick.Once you start to open the TWI-221's blade--and never before that--SOG's patented S.A.T. takes over. High-tension coil springs propel the blade the rest of the way open, so you can easily access the TWI-221's blade with just one hand. Paired with an integrated blade locking safety, this design ensures that the blade stays shut when not in use. The safety can also be engaged with the blade open, creating a double lock for extra safe, extra accurate handling.Cryogenic Heat Treatment for a Sharp, Dependable BladeThe TWI-221 offers a full, 3.2-inch, AUS-8 stainless steel blade with an attractive satin finish. Because the workhorse of any knife is its cutting surface, SOG's proprietary Cryogenic Heat Treatment process ensures that its blade will stay sharp over the long haul. This intensive process takes more than 48 hours and requires reducing the blade's temperature to less than -300 degrees Fahrenheit, then slowly heating the blade to room temperature. The stress created by this process strengthens the stainless steel at the atomic level and increases the blade's overall durability and edge retention.Ergonomic, Lightweight Design Ensures Comfortable UseEven if your blade is sharp, it's hard to make precise cuts if your knife doesn't fit comfortably in your hand. That's why this knife's handle is ergonomically contoured. Crafted from tough, lightweight hard-anodized aluminum, the sleek black handle is also well-balanced for intuitive handling.And at just 4.4 ounces, this folding knife is lightweight and easy to carry. It comes with clip that allows the knife to sit low in your pocket for the most discreet carry possible, and this clip is reversible, which means it can be positioned on whichever side of the knife is most convenient for you.This TWI-221 Twitch XL Tanto Folding Knife with Black Handle is backed by a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in manufacturing and materials.About SOG: Strong, Innovative Specialty ToolsSOG originally stood for Studies and Observation Group, an elite joint services military group designed to handle covert operations during the Vietnam War.
