The SOG Flash I Assisted Opening Folder Throwback Edition brings back a compact classic built for fast, reliable everyday carry in a slim, pocket-friendly design. Designed for users who want quick access, lightweight performance, and proven materials, this knife delivers practical cutting power in a minimalist footprint that’s easy to carry anywhere.
At the core is a 2.5" drop point blade crafted from AUS-8 stainless steel, a trusted steel known for its dependable balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and easy sharpening. Heat treated to a hardness of 57-58, it offers consistent edge performance for everyday cutting tasks without being difficult to maintain. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, classic look while helping reduce friction during use. With a straight edge profile, it excels at controlled slicing, precision work, and general utility cutting where accuracy matters.
The drop point blade shape adds versatility, featuring a strong, controllable tip that handles detail work well while still maintaining solid overall cutting strength. At just 0.09" blade thickness, the Flash I keeps things light and nimble, making it ideal for users who prioritize speed, simplicity, and easy carry over bulk and weight.
The assisted opening mechanism ensures quick, one-handed deployment, allowing the blade to spring into action smoothly when needed. It’s fast, intuitive, and built for real-world usability, giving you immediate access without fuss or delay. Once deployed, the knife locks securely, providing dependable stability during everyday cutting tasks.
The handle is constructed from glass reinforced nylon (GRN), finished in black for a clean, tactical appearance that stays understated and functional. Despite its slim profile, it offers a secure grip and solid durability, holding up well under regular use. At only 3.25" closed length and a featherlight 1.30 oz., this knife disappears comfortably in the pocket until it’s needed, making it one of the most carry-friendly designs in the SOG lineup.
With an overall length of 5.75", the Flash I delivers just enough blade for daily tasks while maintaining an ultra-compact footprint that’s easy to carry, conceal, and deploy. It’s a true everyday tool built for simplicity and speed.
The SOG Flash I Assisted Opening Folder Throwback Edition pairs satin AUS-8 drop point steel, black GRN handle, assisted opening speed, and ultra-light compact EDC carry in a minimalist design.
