SOG Twitch II Assisted Opening Knife Satin AUS 8 Aluminum Handle
Sog
The SOG Twitch II is a stylish knife that opens quickly with the help of the SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.). You can activate this mechanism using either the built-in kick/flipper or the dual thumb studs. The pass-through lockbar ensures that the blade stays securely open. For added safety, there is a slide on the spine that can lock the blade closed or double lock it open. The Twitch II features durable hard anodized aluminum handles and a convenient tip-up carry pocket clip. The AUS 8 stainless steel blade has a smooth edge and a satin finish. This knife is perfect for everyday use and is also affordable.
