SOG-11-18-01-57 Flash AT Blackout Knife
Step into the lineage of combat-proven SOG innovation with the Flash AT Blackout Knife, your stealthy everyday ally forged for speed and precision. Cloaked in a matte-black finish, this folder waits patiently in your pocket until the moment you need decisive action. Echoing the grit of Vietnam-era warriors with modern craftsmanship, it bridges history and innovation seamlessly. From slicing paracord on remote trails to opening packages in the urban jungle under cover of darkness, the Flash AT Blackout delivers unwavering confidence and razor-sharp performance whenever duty calls.
At its heart lies an 8.75 cm drop-point blade crafted from cryogenically treated D2 tool steel. Sub-zero tempering refines every molecule, delivering edge retention that powers through rope, cardboard, everyday chores, and campfire feasts with ease. A low-glare titanium nitride coating shields against corrosion and erases telltale reflections when stealth is paramount. Precision flat grinds transform each cut into effortless slices, while jimped thumb notches lock your thumb in place for rock-solid control during any push-cut.
Deploying the Flash AT Blackout feels as instinctive as a reflex. Press the oversized thumbstud and SOG’s legendary assisted-opening springs the blade to life in milliseconds. The ambidextrous AT-XR lock then clamps the blade with unshakeable stability—zero play, zero compromise. Flick the spine-mounted safety lever into position to eliminate accidental closures, so you stay focused on the task, not on second-guessing your gear.
Every detail of the handle is engineered for grip and comfort. Precision-molded from glass-reinforced nylon (GRN), it features a textured surface that stays secure even in wet or sweaty conditions. Sculpted contours cradle various hand sizes, while the ultra-light 127 g weight keeps you agile on every mission. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip tucks low for discreet, tip-up deployment—ready the instant you need it. Whether you’re facing backcountry challenges, urban missions, or daily routines, the Flash AT Blackout stands ready to outperform expectations.
