SOGFlash AT Daily Carry Ambidextrous Straight Pocket Folding Knives, Ergonomic Handle & Deep-Carry Clip, D2 Steel Blade

This a a great knife good quality great action. I highly recommend this blade

The media could not be loaded. With this knife, SOG sinks the competition for assisted-opening knives at this price range. I'll take it a step further and say that this outperforms knives I own from a brand in the $150-200 price range, although I won't name names.D2 steel sometimes gets unfair criticism from some knife steel nerds, but they'll criticize just about anything that isn't marketed by their favorite companies. They also only use their knives to open Amazon packages. To test the edge retention of the cryogenically treated D2, I sliced paper, then whittled about two inches off of a piece of balsam wood, came back to the paper and the knife cut right through it the second time. Beats my wood carving knives for wood carving! There's a lot of control in the straight back blade design too, I can guide it through wood like a butter knife through... butter. This is the best example of D2 steel I've ever seen, rock solid and refuses to go dull.Anyhow, back to the knife. The thumb stud is hard to engage at first, due to stiffness. If you push from the bottom at the base of the stud, it will be much easier than if you push from the side or the tip of the stud. It's not a smooth process until the assisted opening kicks in and then the blade really lunges out. The crossbar lock is nice to have, but I find that the knife mechanism is stiff enough that I don't need it. There's no way something in my pocket is going to be strong enough to pop this knife open. Carry at your own risk though.All said and done, a totally bulletproof knife with steel that will not fail you, and it's even nice to look at.

Pretty good, well built. I chipped the middle of the blade trying to gently pry a 1/2 inch hose off of a slip fitting. So that was a bit disappointing. I’ll rework the edge after I dull it to fix that. It opens great with the flip of the thumb. I do wish it had the flipper instead. Overall great looking sturdy knife. Sharpest knife I’ve ever had out of the box. Overall happy. 9/10

Great knife with a great mechanic. Unfortunatelly on my knife there is a uneven sharpening and curved tip

This knife is bigger than I imagined but still fits comfortably in my hand and it definitely has a quality feel to it. Blade was sharper than I expected but could still use a little work, maybe just a good stropping. I think that is pretty typical for an out of the box knife. Only complaint I have is that the blade is stiff, I cannot open it with just a thumb. Hoping it will loosen up with use.

Hard to complain about this knife, I think the only thing would be blade material choices. should have an upgraded option in S30V. The open assist is better then any knife I've previously had, including Benchmade. very solid and fast. obsoletely no blade wiggle, very solid construction, much stronger then Benchmade Bugout, with a great price.

Purchased for EDC / fishing. This is one of several SOG knives that I have purchased and the nicest to date. The size, finish and quality seem rock solid and the design is gorgeous! Get the blue, it’s beautiful!

Great weight, love the locking feature!
