Knife Review: K55K Cat, Historic German EDC

My review of the classic historical knife, the K55K Cat, produced in Solingen Germany. It is said that this design dates back to the 1800s and became popular in America after WWII when GIs brought them back from Europe. For $20 you get an ultra thin and light folding lockback. This would be pretty perfect non-tactical EDC and the budget price and cool history are a bonus.

SOG Specialty Knives & Tools Black TiNi TF-10 Trident Digi Camo Knife

SOG Specialty Knives & Tools Black TiNi TF-10 Trident Digi Camo Knife Review





SOG Specialty Knives & Tools Black TiNi TF-10 Trident Digi Camo Knife Feature


  • Fast one-hand opening SOG Assisted Technology (SAT) with built in blade safety lock
  • 3.75-Inch satin finished partially serrated AUS8 stainless steel blade
  • Durable, lightweight, and rugged Digi Camo Zytel handle with groove
  • Low carry reversible bayonet pocket clip
  • Overall length: 8.5-inches, Weight: 3.6-ounces



SOG Specialty Knives & Tools Black TiNi TF-10 Trident Digi Camo Knife Overview


SOG Trident Digi Camo Folder Knife. Deploys in a blink of an eye! The Trident uses SOG's well-proven means of delivering a knife blade to the open position with S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology). Now using their patent pending Arc-Actuator, the Trident locks stronger and releases easier. There is also a built-in safety to lock the blade closed. When it shows red, you are ready to go. What also makes the Trident so unique is the patent pending Groove in the handle, which allows the operator to cut paracord, fishing line, etc. without having to open the blade. The handle also includes a Digi-Grip variable pattern for coarser grip in areas that require it. Our bayonet style clip is easily switched for right / left hand carry or removed for pouch storage. Cryogenic Heat Treatment 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 -300F 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. SOG Assisted Technology 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). More: Blade length: 3 3/4 x 1/8"; Overall length: 8 1/2"; Weight: 3.6 oz.; Edge: Partially serrated; Steel: AUS 8; HRC: 57-58; Handle: Digi camo Zytel with groove; Finish: Black TiNi; Assembled in the USA Order yours today!

SOG Specialty Knives & Tools Black TiNi TF-10 Trident Digi Camo Knife Specifications


Blending elements from the Bowie, Tomcat, SEAL Pup, and Flash Series knives, SOG Specialty Knives and Tools has created a new breed of folding knife: the TF-10 Digi Camo Trident knife with partially-serrated blade and black TiNi coating. Designed for use by Navy SEALs, the TF-10 features SOG's grooved handle, which allows you to cut heavy cord and cable without having to open the specially designed blade. The TF-10's blade is easy to open and features Arc-Actuator technology, which helps the blade lock more strongly and release more easily.


The SOG TF-10 Trident Knife Offers:
  • A black TiNi-coated partially-serrated blade
  • The ability to cut paracord, fishing line, and more without having to open the blade
  • A strong, reliable blade locking system
  • A contoured, glass-reinforced Zytel handle




S.A.T. propels the blade open for quick, safe, one-handed access. View larger.


The TF-10 features SOG's proprietary Digi-Grip for comfortable, confident handling. View larger.


Cut cords and cables quickly and safely with dedicated Groove technology. View larger.


A reversible clip lets the knife sit securely and discreetly in your pocket. View larger.

SOG Assisted Technology Increases Speed, Safety, and Usability
Fast, safe, single-handed opening makes SOG Trident Series knives incredibly easy to handle in a wide variety of situations. When you go to unfold the TF-10's blade, SOG's patented S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) takes over. High-tension coil springs propel the blade open, so you can easily access it with just one hand.

S.A.T. knives offer security and peace of mind with their locking mechanisms that are stronger, more reliable, and easier to access than other knives'. For Trident Series knives, this means the blade is held in place with a reliable piston lock that can be quickly released with a sliding button. An additional safety lock offers extra security when the blade is closed, and for easy reference, the lock switch shows red when the knife is ready to be opened.

Cryogenic Heat Treatment and TiNi Coating Guarantee a Sharp, Durable Blade
The TF-10 offers a full, 3.75-inch, AUS8 stainless steel blade that has undergone SOG's patented Cryogenic Heat Treatment process, which ensures that this blade will stay sharp over the long haul. This intensive process takes more than 48 hours and involves slowly reducing the blade's temperature to less than -300 degrees Fahrenheit, then slowly heating the blade to room temperature. The stress created by this process strengthens the steel on an atomic level and increases the blade's overall durability and edge retention.

In addition to having undergone the Cryogenic Heat Treatment Process, this knife was coated in proprietary titanium nitride (TiNi), of the toughest coatings that can be applied to steel. TiNi boasts extreme hardness, is exceptionally scratch and peel resistant, helps increase steel's longevity, and ensures low reflectivity.

Ergonomic, Lightweight Design Ensures Comfortable Use
Even if your blade is sharp, it's hard to make precise cuts if your knife doesn't fit comfortably in your hand. That's why this knife's handle is ergonomically contoured. Crafted from tough, glass-reinforced Zytel, the handle is well-balanced and features SOG's unique Digi-Grip texturing, a feature that gives you gripping power where you need it most. Additionally, the grooved handle allows you to cut heavy cord and cable without having to open the blade.

At just 3.6 ounces, this folding knife is lightweight and easy to carry. A reversible, bayonet-mounted clip extends from the back of the handle, allowing the knife to sit low in your pocket for the most discreet carry possible. The removable clip is easily switched for right/left hand-carry.

This knife is backed by a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in manufacturing and materials.
