The SOG Flash AT delivers rapid one-handed deployment with its spring-assisted opening mechanism, making it an essential everyday carry tool for professionals and enthusiasts. This folding knife combines premium D2 tool steel construction with tactical functionality in a compact 3.45-inch blade configuration.
What Makes This Different
The Flash AT features SOG's Assisted Technology (AT) spring mechanism that provides lightning-fast blade deployment with minimal thumb pressure. Unlike traditional manual folders, the spring-assist ensures consistent opening even with wet or gloved hands. The TiNi cryogenic treatment process enhances the D2 steel's wear resistance and edge retention beyond standard heat treatment methods.

The Flash AT excels in demanding cutting tasks where quick access matters. Emergency responders appreciate the rapid deployment for cutting seatbelts or rope, while outdoor professionals rely on the serrated section for fibrous materials and the straight edge for precision work. The cryogenically treated D2 steel maintains sharpness through extended use cycles, reducing maintenance frequency in professional applications.
