I carry this knife most of the time because it is so versatile. The assisted blade opens lighning fast and the thumb point on the blade is in the perfect position for my hand. The blade is typical SOG quality is sharp from the factory. Includes pocket clip.

The assisted opening of this blade is fast. A buddy of mine had this at the trailhead one weekend, and by sunday, it was no longer in his possession. The blade comes out like nothing, and cuts nice with the factory edge. Trail food prep and whittling are easy, and the in hand ergonomics are great. Super low weight for what you get.

opens lightning fast. got it off SAC for dirt cheap. smaller than i thought it would have been, but the stability of the blade makes up for that. pocket clip is sturdy too. pretty sharp straight form the factory too. like it so much i am gonna get the flash 2 as well (as soon as i see it on SAC).

Mine is black with a black blade and is one of the sexiest knives to slip into my pocket. Takes up roughly the same size as a chapstick. Feels great in my hand, and has a nice edge from the factory. The handle is not anodized aluminum, but a composite. Blade assist is wicked fast. Careful when playing around with the knife at first! An extra this knife features is a locking mechanism to keep it shut.

This knife is usually on my body while hiking, and often in my coat pocket when I am off the trail. I bought mine when SOG wasn't that known, and the price of this knife was much much more. I have seen the Flash II selling for forty bucks at generic stores(I own a Flash II as well).

I am truly impressed by this knife. I own three other SOG knives because of this knife and my family has many more. I strongly suggest buying this knife, you will find a a reason to use it.

Use it for opening everything, bit smaller than i thought when i bought it. But no problem, sharp and good quality.

Smaller knife than I'm generally a fan of carrying and I purchased the razor edge rather than a combo (bigger fan of combo's), but this thing packs quite a punch... From it's light weight, to the FAST deployment of it's razor sharp edge, I have yet to find something that doesn't make this knife deserving of 5 stars.

You may, however, have some issues if you're one of those people that needs a constant reminder that your gear is there... IT IS small and light weight- to the point of where you don't even know it's there. Like I said, this knife is small (literally the size of my thumb when closed) so if you need something larger, get it's bigger brother- the "Flash II"- considerably larger to the point of where it seems like they should have made a "Flash 1.5" to fill the gap between "I" and "II" models.

I will be buying a few more of these for gifts, stabbing bums and crackheads on the mean streets of Las Vegas, around the house, in the cars, etc. When I can stop playing with it and widdling mesquite branches from my front yard into walking sticks, I'll take some pics and maybe go as far as to attach a youtube review/walk-through.

I was lucky enough not to purchase this personally but camped with a friend on his first time using this particular knife. I had my CRKT Ultima and he had the sog flash I. This knife dulled quickly and the very tip actually broke off while using it for a menial task. I didn't know that happend unless you were stabbing bricks or something. if you are wanting to drop this much on a knife, go for a CRKT.

I love this knife. It's PERFECT for everyday use. SOG has won me over! Will buy more of this brand in the future. One word = Awesome!

this is a very lightweight knife, the handle is completely made out of plastic. but it is not "cheap". it has a very nice assisted opening, as good as an auto. once you are used to the unlock mechanism, it works great, feels good, and is a tough, handy knife
