Twitch i, II and XL have common features such as the S.A.T. assisted opening mechanism (SOG Assisted Technology) and the simple, but time-tested lockback system that helps insure the blade will not open while being carried or close unexpectedly while in use.

The stainless steel clip can be used for low-carry or securing bills and credit cards. Twitch XL clip is reversible and slimmer than the non reversible II clip, it also displays the SOG logo.

Lockback safety system is very smooth and allows for a safe operation when folding the blade. To fold the blade, just press the button on the center of the knife back. A little cursor works as an extra safety; sliding it forward it will block the lockback button. 

This system allows to lock the knife closed and open.
