TRIDENT ELITE - TINI - Sog Specialty Knives

The SOG TRIDENT ELITE - TINI (TF102-CP) is a robust folding knife engineered for the demanding environments faced by automotive technicians, industrial professionals, and first responders. This duty-ready tool combines a durable TiNi-coated tanto blade with integrated emergency features, offering reliable performance for daily shop tasks and critical vehicle egress situations.

Key Features

• Assisted One-Handed Deployment: SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.) enables quick, single-handed blade access, crucial when gloved or navigating confined spaces like 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 provides consistent cutting performance, enhanced corrosion resistance, and reduced glare under various work lights.
• Integrated Emergency Tools: A dedicated slot cutter within 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 designed for breaking automotive glass during emergency extraction scenarios.
• Secure Grip Handle: The Glass-Reinforced Nylon (GRN) handle, complemented by TPR inserts, ensures a confident, non-slip grip, even in the presence of oil, coolant, grease, or wet conditions common 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 when carried in a pocket or on a duty-belt.

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.
