Great little EDC knife. September 23, 2008 I read lots of knife reviews before choosing this one. I will probably still get a Benchmade Mini-Griptillian for a heavier duty knife, but this SOG is great for having a light-duty knife that is hardly noticeable in the pocket. It took a while to get the right grip down for quick deployment of the blade with one hand, since it is small, but after a little practice, it feels natural. The clip allows the knife to ride low in the pocket, which was an important factor for me. After a month of use, I can say it is the perfect size for the small cutting jobs I carry a knife for.
Nice utility knife August 12, 2008 This knife makes a great, easy to use, utility tool. It's small size, easy opening, and sharp blade work well together to open envelopes, small packages, or wherever a smaller knife is needed or wanted for all kinds of tasks. The only negative is, when compared to the larger Flash II, you can see that the blade is noticibly thinner and therefore less robust, and of course the overall size limits its uses to those with smaller hands. Nevertheless, it's a great tool for the jobs for which it is designed. Overall it is well made and works very well.
VIDEO: GREAT LIGHTWEIGHT Daily Carry Knife! May 14, 2008 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3EVCQ3LCXY6UC In the field of daily carry knives, the SOG FLASH 1 is a fast, lightweight, well-built, and securely carried companion. I have many of these knives and have used them extensively for both duty and personal use. As my VIDEO shows, the FLASH 1's size is perfect as is the deep carry clip. Add its good quality AUS8 steel and most importantly it's feathery 1.2 oz weight (not 1.4 oz ike I said in video) and you have the near-perfect daily carry knife. For a knife you'll have on your person at ALL times to open packages, cut food, etc. it's my top recommendation.
SOG Speciality Knife February 8, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Overall it is a decent knife, however I notice that the hinge seems a little rough when closing. Also I have very large hands and some arthritis, and due to the small grip, I have trouble opening it with one hand. I think most users would be pleased with the operation of the knife and the workmanship.
