I have a Trident. I bought it when they first came out. I like it, but it just doesn't measure up to my Emerson's or Spyderco's. The blade tip is a little thin and there is the slightest play in the lock up. It feels good in the hand and the assisted opening feature works well. I was into the assisted opener thing when I got it, but I have moved on. It now mainly sits in my drawer waiting to be scarfed up by one of my sons. You can probably find one for 60-70 bucks if you shop around on line.
