I got this knife because it has safety lock that will (I'm pretty sure) prevent my toddlers from opening it if somehow they ever get a hold of the knife. From owning other SOG knives, I knew this feature was going to be good for that purpose. Very light and good deep clip. The opening switch rattles, which is annoying.

This was one of the first knifes I purchased after watching a nutnfancy vid on youtube.

Knife is smaller then I thought.

Assisted open is fast.

A little to much blade play for my tastes

Aus 8 is easy to sharpen and hold decent edge.

Handle feels cheap as its made from zytel

Lock button/slider will rattle making it annoying.

Good deep carry pocket clip.

Super light with nice thin blade for slicing.

Good knife for light tasks

The first thing I would do Is buy some D loop archery cord and make a lanyard for this knife. The knife is way too small and hard to hold while trying to deploy the assisted open. You will need the lanyard to get a little extra grip. It's a cute little knife with limited function but it does come in handy from time to time. It's very light weight and you might forget you are carrying it. I do find myself using the knife more than I thought I would.

SOG Flash 1, plain edge

When this knife arrived I was shocked at how small it was. I was expecting something that you can actually fit in your hand and hold normally, but that is not the case with the Flash 1. It honestly feels like a toy knife, but with a sharp blade. The steel is of course razor sharp so do not underestimate it. The handle is not comfortable at all for a normal sized hand, perhaps hobbits from the Tolkien world. Anyways, the slider lock release rattles quite a bit on the flash 1 and makes noise, which seems "cheap" in a way. The assisted open is good if you have tiny hands, but overall, this is a "toy" knife like I mentioned and I recommend stepping up to the full size flash 2 if you want an EDC.
