You weren't stealing it - just borrowing it

i have a tanto one, love it!

I like more of a drop point style blade for my needs but that is probabley better for all around use. I could see me with one. What is the blade steel ? I dont think I would use the cut out in the handle though. very nice blade though as all SOGs are very well made.

AUS-8 I think

Dave,
I have a couple of them.  One just like yours and one Camo, partially serrated.
I like them both very much.  Great blade shape and grind, good length, grippy
 andthey are a light carry in pocket. 
Unlike Ben I won't buy a knife that doesn't have blade play so I particularely
enjoy the Trident's.

I'll do a vid showing the Benchmade and the Kershaw in comparison so you see what I mean.

Speaking of which, did you ever do that comparison/review for that old Blackout?

I love the blade shape on trident, but couple other things made me sell mine eventually. The groove is absolutely useless even with a freshly sharpened edge. Assist is nice to play with but really I don't want it on my EDC knife (one of the reasons I sold all my kershaws). Then there's the aus8 steel, while not bad it cannot hold 30° edge satisfactorily, and a 40° edge just cannot do what 30° can do no matter how sharp/polished it is.

Interesting how we all need and view things differently.

It's on the list.
