Folding Knife SOG AEGIS AT MK3 INDIGO & ACID
Detailed product description
Our story begins in Vietnam, where members of a highly classified U.S. special operations unit – known as MACV-SOG – carried a unique covert knife into the jungle on secret missions. A few years later, in 1986, that knife inspired a young designer named Spencer Frazer to found SOG Specialty Knives. His mission: to reproduce the original SOG Bowie knife and pay tribute to the special operations unit that created it. What began as a single commemorative model soon became a full line of innovative tools – proven by U.S. special forces and even honored as the knife of choice for the Navy SEALs. Today, SOG knives are carried with confidence into the toughest situations. Forged from tradition, hardened in the field, refined for you.
Whether you're protecting others or leading an epic hunting expedition, tackling one of life's everyday challenges, or facing your most extreme conditions yet, forge your path with SOG.

This version of the Aegis comes with a TiNi-coated D2 blade and an Indigo FRN handle. Designed for outdoor users, the Aegis AT offers rapid assisted opening with SOG’s innovative ambidextrous AT-XR lock, along with an ergonomic handle and grip pattern for comfortable use. The Aegis AT is easy to carry and features a highly functional 3.1″ cryogenically heat-treated D2 steel blade.

THOUGHTFUL DESIGN
The patented XR lock with SOG’s proprietary Assisted Technology (AT) provides fast one-handed opening and solid lock-up once open. Reliable and powerful, capable of withstanding 1500 pounds of force, the AT-XR lock delivers maximum built-in blade-locking security when open and ensures it opens only when intended.
SAFETY
SOG worked with users to develop ambidextrous safety that is as easy as it is fast. Designed to be intuitive and to follow natural hand movements, it means you don’t have to break your grip to operate it. Once open, it locks in place like a thumb stop. Everything a safety should be.
A versatile high-carbon tool steel that is cryogenically heat-treated to SOG’s unique performance specifications. D2 provides the ideal combination of edge retention and durability for long-term use with easy maintenance.
