The Aegis AT features fast, easy deployment and smooth operation. The simple design gives you more-with-less focusing on purposeful use and intuitive function. One look at the knife and it communicates a functional and minimal solution that blends with my lifestyle. The color scheme goes well with everyday clothes and outdoor gear. The reversible pocket clip and lanyard loop offer multiple options to keep the knife secure. An ergonomic handle and textured grip pattern make the knife comfortable to wield and places my thumb and index finger right on the controls. The Aegis AT is ready to go anywhere you want to take it and gives you confidence in any outdoor condition.
Studies and Observation Group developed a unique cryogenic heat treatment processes that decrease the temperature of the steel in a highly controlled procedure. This gives the blade increased toughness and wear-resistance, keeps the blade sharper longer and decreases microfracturing and edge-chipping.
“The AT XR Lock works through the balance of opposing high-tension coil springs. As you initiate the opening action, the force propelling your blade open becomes greater than the force keeping it closed. The result is a blade that springs completely open almost instantly once it is engaged.” -sogknives.com
