The SOG Flash AT delivers rapid one-handed deployment with assisted opening technology in a compact everyday carry package. This tactical folding knife combines D2 tool steel construction with TiNi coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and reduced friction during cutting tasks.
What Makes This Different
The Flash AT features SOG's proprietary assisted opening mechanism that provides lightning-fast blade deployment with thumb stud activation. Unlike traditional manual folders, the assisted opening reduces deployment time by 40% while maintaining secure lockup through the Arc-Actuator lock system. The partially serrated D2 steel blade maintains a sharp edge longer than standard stainless steel alternatives, with the TiNi coating adding scratch resistance and reducing maintenance requirements.
Key Features
- 3.45-inch D2 tool steel blade with TiNi coating for superior edge retention
- Assisted opening technology with ambidextrous thumb studs
- Partially serrated edge combines straight cutting with aggressive serrations
- Urban Grey GRN (Glass Reinforced Nylon) handle scales for lightweight durability
- Arc-Actuator lock provides secure blade lockup under heavy use
- Reversible pocket clip accommodates left or right-hand carry
- Overall length of 8 inches when open, 4.55 inches closed
Field performance centers on the D2 steel's ability to maintain cutting efficiency through extended use cycles. The assisted opening mechanism functions reliably in temperatures from -20°F to 120°F, making it suitable for outdoor work, emergency response, and tactical applications. The partially serrated configuration handles both precision cutting tasks and aggressive material separation, from rope and webbing to cardboard and plastic packaging.
