SOG AE31CP Aegis Stonewash Finish Knife

Description

The SOG Aegis is an assisted opener, where a spring finishes the motion once the thumb stud is pushed. A 3.5-inch stonewashed 8Cr13MoV blade sits in a stainless handle, closing to 4.5 inches.

The Aegis is an assisted opener, where a spring finishes the motion once the thumb starts the blade. That makes deployment faster and more certain than a manual folder, particularly with cold or gloved hands. 8Cr13MoV is the workhorse stainless of this price class, chosen because it sharpens back quickly on any stone and forgives being neglected, rather than for holding an edge indefinitely. Stonewashing leaves the blade already textured so the scratches that come with use blend in, and the stainless handle gives the knife a solid one-piece feel.

At 4.5 inches closed with a 3.5-inch blade, the Aegis sits in the middle of the everyday carry range, large enough for real work without becoming awkward in a pocket. Explore more Assisted Opening Knives.
