Congratulations
on becoming a
SOG Trident owner.
You have chosen a
truly innovative product
with S.A.T.™ (SOG
Assisted Technology). Once
you start to open the knife, a spring helps
to fully open the blade. Please read this
short manual to properly operate your

Arc-Actuator™
SOG Trident
Reversible Clip
held securely inside the handle. If you want
extra security, just push the safety to the
locked position.
NOTE: ALWAYS BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR
FINGERS CLEAR WHEN CLOSING ANY
KNIFE BLADE.
5. When using the Groove™ the blade
needs to be in the closed and locked
position with safety on. To cut cord or
webbing, simply pull the material through
the Groove in the handle allowing the blade
to cut material. For best results the material
being cut should be under tension.
Use this product safely and according
to your local municipal, state, and
federal laws.
SOG Trident Fact:
Unlike switchblades, which are
activated by a button-like mechanism
in the handle or with the use of gravity,
S.A.T.™ only works when you start
to manually open the blade out of the
handle. When the blade is closed, it is
held securely inside the handle.
Instructions
1. The safety on the SOG Trident is on
the side of the handle, towards the back
of the knife. It is designed to give extra
protection against accidental blade opening
when carried (in your pocket, for example).
To open the blade, make sure the safety is
up so the button shows red. It is now ready
to open. When you want to keep the blade
locked within the handle, just push the
button down to engage the safety.
2. It is best to change the reversible clip to
the opposite side from which your thumb
will be opening the blade. This will give your
fingers a little better hold on the handle.
3. Start to open the blade and feel S.A.T.™
take over. It might take a little practice to get
comfortable with the grasping and opening
of your new knife. Note that if the blade is
not opening fully, you might be holding your
thumb on the thumb stud too long or be
blocking the opening blade with one of your
other fingers. It is best to push the blade
open with your thumb behind the thumb
stud...not on top of it.
NOTE: For your safety, it is important
that you keep your other hand away
from the blade while opening.
4. To close the blade on the SOG Trident,
pull back the button on the Acr-Actuator
and rotate the blade closed with two hands
(although with practice you may be able to
close it with one hand). The blade is now
