Our customers have been asking for us to produce a tactical switchblade for years. But we waited... because we wanted to do something really special. The SOG-TAC is an invigorating new design that looks like nothing else. It is big but relatively slim and is specifically designed for action. Blade travel is definitely fast and once open it locks up like a floor safe. The machined 6061T6 hard-anodized aluminum is inset with G10 type textured inlays. There is also: a safety button that double locks the blade in the open/closed position, our reversible bayonet style clip and a gorgeous upswept blade. We think it was well worth the wait!
