I just had a stunning realization, that my SOG Trident folder might just be one of several "The Ones" that I own. I may have said one or two negative things about it in another post, but that was because my Vulcan was brand new and that is all I could think about, do you blame me 
? It is a knife which covers all of the essentials. It is the black Tini coated partially serrated version. It has plenty of belly and Non-serrated blade edge for just about any slicing or "bushcrafting" purpose. It also has just enough serrations to use for cutting through some tougher things or even to use IF the straight edge happened to become too dull to cut with (highly unlikely). Not to mention the grove in the handle is a blessing from up above as well. The thumb ridge which goes up about a third of the way up the blade's spine helps a lot when doing fine cutting tasks such as bushcraft projects (making the trigger for a tree snare). The handle is great as well, not too thin and not too thick. The thickness of the blade is not a problem for me since I won't be stabbing anything with this knife, or with any other knife for that matter, just some old scouting habbits that I can't break . The SAT helps out a lot, and looks great in front of the guys. The only thing I would like to see done to the trident is that the clip come down flat like on the Vulcan so it won't occasionally get caught up on the lip of my jeans. Other than that little tidbit it is an overall great knife to have in the outdoors or anywhere really. I almost forgot, the thumb ridge on the spine of the blade makes excellent sparks when used on a ferro rod.
How have your Tridents held up? Anybody else consider it to fall into the "The One" category for some of the same reasons? Let me know how it goes, J.
