The original SOG automatic, the SOG-TAC is trusted by law enforcement officers across the country as a tough, lightweight and reliable automatic folding knife that performs in the most adverse conditions. Made from 6061-T6 aluminum, the handle is contoured for maximum security in the hand making it ideal for self-defense as well as utility use. With lightening quick deployment and a discreet, deep carry pocket clip, the SOG-TAC is a solid choice for automatic carry. This version comes with a black, partially serrated, AUS-8 stainless steel Tanto blade and black aluminum handle.

Brand new, direct from SOG Knives.

Blade: Durable, corrosion resistant Japanese AUS-8 stainless steel is finished with a non-reflective Black TiNi coating for discreet use. A Tanton point and high hollow grind offer powerful piercing and slicing performance while retaining good toughness at the tip and spine. The partially serrated section makes quick work of tough, fibrous materials while aggressive jimping insures a safe and secure grip during heavy use. Powered by a coil spring mechanism the blade deploys with lightening speed automatically at a touch of the button.

Handle: Lightweight and durable, the black hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handles have been contoured for comfort and have milling and finger grooves for a secure grip. A simple yet robust button lock mechanism delivers secure lockup with a slide safety on the opposite side to avoid unintentional deployment while carrying yet allowing for fast deployment when needed.

Carries via a reversible, tip-up only, stainless steel deep carry pocket clip.

Japanese AUS-8 Stainless Steel: a low carbon, high chromium stainless steel offers excellent balance of performance: it has good toughness, corrosion resistance and sharpening response with similar edge retention to 440C.
