This has easily and quickly become one of our favorites here at BladeHQ. The knife feels great, the action is superb and the price is unbeatable. Everything about this knife is exceptional and we can recommend it without hesitation to anyone.

Aegis (ee-jis), which in Greek means shield or protection, 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.

SOG’s comprehensive Aegis line of premier folders is fully integrated with top end systems. 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! SOG’s trademark bayonet reversible clip, built in safety with red/ready to go, checkered DigiGrip™ handles, and tacky rubber inserts all contribute to make Aegis a platform for today’s changing world. Cover your back with Aegis outdoor or tactical blades.
