Model: SOGTWI17CP • UPC: 729857998758
Classic materials meet modern everyday-carry performance in the SOG Twitch II (SOGTWI17CP). This elegant folder pairs a 2.65-inch drop-point blade of AUS-8A stainless steel with a warm, brown rosewood handle, creating a compact cutting tool that’s as comfortable at the office as it is around the shop. The satin blade finish glides through cardboard, plastic wrap, and cordage with clean, low-drag cuts, while the one-hand opening (flipper/dual thumb studs) and secure lockup deliver confidence on every task. A low-profile pocket clip keeps carry discreet, making the Twitch II a refined, ready-anytime EDC.
Why the Twitch II (Rosewood) Stands Out
AUS-8A Stainless Steel Performance
Known for a practical balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy sharpening, AUS-8A is ideal for real-world EDC where quick touch-ups keep you slicing cleanly.
Satin, Plain-Edge Precision
The satin finish reduces friction and shows a professional look, while the straight (plain) edge makes clean, predictable cuts and simplifies maintenance.
Slim, Dress-Friendly Profile
At-pocket thin with a low-riding clip, the Twitch II disappears in jeans or slacks—perfect for office carry without printing.
Rosewood Ergonomics
Brown rosewood scales add warm, natural grip and timeless style, elevating the look without adding excess weight.
Fast, One-Hand Operation
Open with the flipper tab or thumb studs and enjoy confident lockup for controlled slicing, scoring, and detail work.*
*Always follow local laws regarding knife carry and blade length.

Performance You’ll Notice
Clean Slicing with Control

Compact Confidence
A modest blade length paired with secure lockup gives you precise tip control for scoring, piercing, and detailed cut lines.
Comfortable, Natural Grip
Rosewood offers a smooth yet sure hold; its neutral shaping supports multiple grips for push and draw cuts.

Care & Maintenance
Wipe & Dry: After cutting adhesive or encountering moisture, wipe the blade and dry thoroughly.
Edge Touch-Ups: AUS-8A responds quickly to ceramic or diamond stones; finish with a light strop.
Light Lube: A drop at the pivot maintains smooth opening—avoid over-lubing.
Wood Care: Occasionally treat rosewood scales with a tiny bit of mineral oil or dedicated wood conditioner; wipe off excess.

A: Yes—this Twitch II configuration features a straight, plain edge for clean slicing and easy sharpening.
