Hey guys, so SOG lists the Trident as having a 3.75" blade and a 4.75" handle. Whenever I look at pictures of the knife, the handle looks much longer than that. I decided to find a picture of a Trident and scale it down on Paint so it's actual size. I measured the blade length, 3.75". I measured the handle, and it was more like 5 3/8". Is SOG's information incorrect or am I just doing something wrong? Thanks guys.
 
I don't know if sog is off in their measurements but the handle on the trident is why I never got one. Looks disproportionate and the cutout always bugged me.
 
The handle and blade length specifications are correct as you posted Rypper.

(I took out a ruler and double-checked to be sure. However companies do change things from time-to-time and don't always update their product information.)

Taking pictures of knives can be tricky and throw off the specs or colors.

This is why it is a good idea for knife makers and knife companies to show their products with different views.
 
All I know is that I was just gifted a Trident folder and it's a favorite of mine.
