The Twitch XL knife features a pass-through lock bar and kick. By pressing on the kick, the user can instigate the opening of the blade. The SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.â„¢) mechanism only propels the blade open once the operator has initiated the one-handed opening action. One of the knife's features keeps the blade closed until the user moves the blades approximately 15 degrees. The blade is made of stainless steel. The Double Action Revolver knife has a straight-edged tanto blade and a half-serrated clip-point seal blade. The seal blade features a forward thumb rest for increased dexterity and downward pressure, the manufacturer states. The user can depress the locking lever, which is hidden in the handle, and rotate the blade to transform the knife into a saw, the company says.
