SOG Flash I Assisted Opening Folder Black GRN Handle Satin PS AUS-8 Drop Point Blade SOG-FSA-97

The SOG Flash I Assisted Opening Folder Throwback Edition brings back a compact, no-nonsense EDC design built for speed, utility, and effortless pocket carry. Designed for users who want quick deployment and dependable cutting performance in an ultra-light platform, this knife keeps things simple, fast, and functional without sacrificing durability or control.

At the core is a 2.5" drop point blade crafted from AUS-8 stainless steel, a proven steel known for its balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. Heat treated to a hardness of 57-58, it delivers consistent edge performance for everyday tasks while remaining easy to maintain in the field. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, classic look and helps reduce friction during cutting, keeping performance smooth and efficient.

The partially serrated edge adds extra versatility, giving you an advantage when cutting through tougher materials like rope, cord, webbing, and fibrous packaging. At the same time, the plain section of the edge maintains control for clean slicing and precision work. Combined with the drop point blade shape, you get a strong, controllable tip that’s ideal for general utility tasks without feeling overbuilt.

With a blade thickness of just 0.09", the Flash I keeps a slim, agile profile that’s built for speed and lightweight carry. It’s designed to handle daily cutting needs while staying unobtrusive in the pocket, making it a strong choice for minimal EDC setups.

The assisted opening mechanism ensures fast, one-handed deployment, giving you immediate access when needed. The action is smooth and intuitive, making it easy to open under pressure or while multitasking. Once deployed, the blade locks securely, providing dependable stability for everyday use.

The handle is made from glass reinforced nylon (GRN), finished in black for a clean, tactical appearance that stays understated and practical. It offers a solid grip in a lightweight frame, holding up well to daily wear without unnecessary bulk. At just 3.25" closed length and 1.30 oz., this knife disappears in the pocket until it’s called into action.

Measuring 5.75" overall, the Flash I is built for compact efficiency, giving you just enough blade for real-world tasks while maintaining an ultra-portable design that’s easy to carry anywhere.

The SOG Flash I Assisted Opening Folder Throwback Edition combines satin AUS-8 serrated drop point steel, black GRN handle, assisted opening speed, and ultra-light compact EDC performance in a minimalist design.
