Aegis (ee-jis)—Greek for “shield” or “protection”. Choose and carry yours with pride. Agis is also the code name for the world’s premier integrated air defense system and the sea-based element of the United States Ballistic Missile Defense System. This proven, popular system of SOG tactical knifes is almost as fast.

SOG’s Aegis line of premier folders is loaded with top end systems. Take the new modified arc-actuated piston locks that enable and support several blade configurations. Start to open the knife, and let Aegis finish the action with a bang, using one of the surest assisted technologies (S.A.T.) out there! The SOG trademark bayonet reversible clip makes it fully ambidextrous. The built in safety shows red to signal when the knife is armed and ready to go. Checkered DigiGrip™ handles are made of lightweight, extremely durable Glass Reinforced Nylon (GRN) with tacky rubber inserts. It all contributes to make Aegis a platform for today’s changing world. Cover your back with an Aegis outdoor or tactical blade.

SOG Assisted Technology works through the balance of opposing high-tension coil springs. As one opens the blade the force to propel the knife open becomes greater than the closing force and the blade will open on its own. The end result propels the blade out once the operator has initiated the one-handed opening action. S.A.T. works so well that right-handers can use their left hand equally well to open a folding knife (of course this works oppositely for lefties). We warn you... this blade action is addictive! Play with it once, and you'll be opening it again and again!

SOG's unique cryogenic heat treatment process increases the toughness and wear resistance of our blades. Taking the knife slowly down in temperature to less than -300°F and then back to room temperature. This stress relieves the material on an atomic level and increases overall strength as well as edge retention. Knife edges stay sharp longer with significantly less micro-fracturing and edge-chipping. Its this dedication to making your knife SOG sharp that sets us apart from the rest.
