The SOG Flash AT EDC delivers reliable cutting performance with its 3.45-inch D2 steel blade and assisted opening mechanism. This folding knife combines tactical functionality with everyday carry convenience, featuring a satin finish blade and urban grey GRN handle construction.
What Makes This Different
The Flash AT incorporates SOG's Assisted Technology (AT) for rapid one-handed blade deployment, significantly faster than traditional manual folders. The cryo-treated D2 tool steel blade maintains a sharp edge longer than standard stainless options while offering superior wear resistance. The glass-reinforced nylon handle provides exceptional grip security without adding unnecessary weight to daily carry gear.

Field testing demonstrates consistent deployment under various conditions, from cold weather operations to high-stress situations. The D2 steel composition (1.5% carbon, 12% chromium) provides excellent edge retention for extended cutting tasks while remaining relatively easy to sharpen. The assisted opening mechanism functions reliably after thousands of actuations, making this knife suitable for professional use, outdoor activities, and emergency preparedness scenarios.
