Hey guys,
I'm thinking of buying the SOG Trident Elite Clip Point from amazon.ca for 68.75$, but is the quality of the knife worth it? I heard the rescue cutter function doesn't work that great, but it doesn't bother me. What actually bothers me is the quality of the glass breaker. I have read no where about its material and if it is reliable, because one of the reason why I looking for the Trident Elite is due to its glass breaker function. Although, I can live without it on my knife and get one on the side like the ResQme tool.
So if end up getting something like the ResQme tool, I'll probably buy the Spyderco Tenacious. Also, any thoughts on the edge retention? I heard some people had the knife open on the involuntarily.
If you guys have any other suggestions, I'm open to it. I'm looking for a versatile, jack of all trade, plain edge folding knife from the reputable brands (Spyderco, Benchmade, Buck, SOG, etc.) with a 3 to 4" blade with a clip, drop or even the infamous tanto point that totally fits the versatile profile. Also, one that is lighter than 5 oz, around 70$ or less. Possibly with a glass breaker and with g-10 handle, if not, I'll still be able to live. Oh, and of course, a pocket clip. I currently have a CRKT lake 111-z and am looking to upgrade. So if the knife is made in USA with some good tier steel, perfect.
Thanks, KP.
