Model: SOG-TWI8-CP / SOGTWI8CP • UPC: 729857994552
Slim, stylish, and surprisingly capable, the SOG Twitch (TWI8-CP) is a compact everyday-carry folder that blends modern materials with clean, minimalist design. Its 2.65-inch drop-point blade is made from AUS-8 stainless steel for a balanced mix of edge retention, toughness, and easy sharpening, then finished in a smooth satin that glides through material and looks great at the office or on the job. The gray hard-anodized aluminum handle keeps weight down while adding rigidity and a premium feel. With fast one-hand opening (via flipper/dual thumb studs) and secure lockup, the Twitch delivers precise slicing, scoring, and everyday utility in a pocket-friendly package. A low-profile pocket clip makes carry discreet and comfortable in jeans or slacks.
If you want a refined EDC that’s light in the pocket and strong in performance, the SOG Twitch SOGTWI8CP is ready to work—day after day.
Why the SOG Twitch Stands Out
AUS-8 Stainless Steel Performance
A proven EDC steel that offers reliable corrosion resistance, solid toughness, and easy field sharpening—ideal for users who value quick touch-ups and consistent cutting.
Satin, Plain-Edge Precision
The satin finish reduces drag for clean, predictable cuts, while the straight (plain) edge simplifies maintenance and excels on packaging, plastic, and cordage.
Hard-Anodized Aluminum Handle
The gray aluminum chassis is thin, rigid, and light—perfect for dress pants or a slimline pocket organizer—while providing durable, scratch-resistant good looks.
Fast, Confident One-Hand Opening
Open via flipper tab or thumb studs for quick access; the tuned action delivers a smooth, positive snap into lock.
Low-Print Everyday Carry
A deep/low-riding pocket clip tucks the Twitch away discreetly, keeping it handy without calling attention.
Always follow local laws regarding knife carry and blade length.

Performance You’ll Notice
Clean Slicing, Minimal Effort

Compact Control
The sub-3" drop-point gives excellent tip precision for scoring and piercing, with enough belly for efficient push cuts.

The aluminum handle keeps things slim yet secure in hand, making repeated box duty or label trimming comfortable.
Ideal Use Cases
EDC & Office: Mailers, boxes, pallet labels, shrink wrap—quiet, precise, and tidy.

Gift-Ready: A sleek choice for grads, groomsmen, and gear-savvy friends.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe & Dry: After adhesive-heavy cuts or moisture, wipe the blade and dry thoroughly.
Edge Touch-Ups: AUS-8 sharpens quickly with ceramic or diamond stones; finish with a light strop.
Light Lube: A drop at the pivot maintains smooth opening—avoid over-lubing to reduce debris buildup.
Handle Care: Hard-anodized aluminum resists wear; just wipe with a soft cloth to keep the gray finish looking fresh.

Q: Is the edge fully plain (non-serrated)?
A: Yes—this Twitch configuration uses a straight, plain edge for clean slicing and easier sharpening.

Q: Is the clip reversible?
A: The Twitch features a low-profile clip for discreet carry; check your knife’s mounting holes for orientation options.
Q: Good for light food prep?
