TRIDENT ELITE - TINI - Sog Specialty Knives

The SOG TRIDENT ELITE - TINI (TF102-CP) is a robust folding knife engineered for the rigorous demands of automotive and industrial professionals, including technicians, first responders, and fleet personnel. This duty-ready tool combines a durable TiNi-coated tanto blade with integrated emergency features, offering reliability for daily shop tasks and critical vehicle egress situations.

Key Features

• Assisted One-Handed Deployment: SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.) provides quick, single-handed blade access, crucial when working gloved or in confined engine bays and under-dash areas.
• Durable AUS-8 Tanto Blade: A 3.7-inch AUS-8 stainless steel tanto blade with a black Titanium Nitride (TiNi) coating delivers consistent cutting performance, enhanced corrosion resistance, and reduced glare under various work lights.
• Integrated Emergency Tools: A dedicated slot cutter built into the handle allows for rapid and safe cutting of seatbelts, webbing, small ropes, and packaging materials without deploying the main blade. The robust pommel is specifically engineered for breaking automotive glass, aiding in emergency extraction scenarios.
• Secure Grip Handle: The Glass-Reinforced Nylon (GRN) handle with TPR inserts ensures a confident, non-slip grip, even in the presence of oil, coolant, grease, or wet conditions commonly found in professional service environments.
• Reliable Piston Lock: A secure piston lock with an added safety mechanism ensures solid blade lockup during use and prevents accidental opening during pocket or duty-belt carry.

Applications

The Trident Elite – TiNi is well-suited for automotive technicians, mobile mechanics, and shop personnel for routine tasks such as cutting hose, wire loom, gasket material, zip-ties, and packaging. Fleet maintenance teams, tow operators, and first responders can rely on its glass-breaking and belt-cutting capabilities for passenger cars, SUVs, pickups, and service rigs during accident response and emergency situations. Beyond professional duties, it serves as a versatile utility knife for general cutting and light field use.
