Tigerstriping is one of most interesting camouflage patterns and was developed in Vietnam to blend into triple canopy as well as other environments. Our artisans at SOG have created a special process to selectively remove TiNi coatings to produce these interesting patterns. Be the first on your block to own one!
The Flash™ line of folding knives debuted SOG’s patent pending S.A.T.™ (SOG Assisted Technology). This mechanism helps propel the blade open once the operator has initiated the one-handed opening action. They’re fast as lightning, safe, and provide an extremely strong blade lock. This opening action is uniquely different from all others with its fast start and power curve throughout the movement of the blade. When closing the blade into the handle you actually feel as if you are cocking a side arm, as the blade is held securely inside the handle.
Invented by Spencer Frazer, who always manages to come up with something cleverly different, S.A.T.™ is the framework for this new line of lightweight folders. The piston lock is easily released with a sliding button. SOG also had the foresight to incorporate an additional safety lock that gives added security when the blade is closed. Note that when the safety shows red…you are ready to go.
In addition to S.A.T.™, the handles (glass reinforced Zytel®) are contoured with a new ergonomic sensibility that makes the knife a pleasure to use. SOG has also incorporated a new reversible, bayonet-mounted clip that extends from the back of the handle for the lowest, most discreet carry possible, and dual thumb studs for ambidextrous opening.
SOG Assisted Technology SOG Assisted Technology works through the balance of opposing high-tension coil springs. As one opens the blade the force to propel the knife open becomes greater than the closing force and the blade will open on its own. The end result propels the blade out once the operator has initiated the one-handed opening action. S.A.T. works so well that right-handers can use their left hand equally well to open a folding knife (of course this works oppositely for lefties).
Cryogenic Heat Treatment SOG''s unique cryogenic heat treatment process increases the toughness and wear resistance of our blades. Taking the knife slowly down in temperature to less than -300°F and then back to room temperature. This stress relieves the material on an atomic level and increases overall strength as well as edge retention. Knife edges stay sharp longer with significantly less micro-fracturing and edge-chipping. Its this dedication to making your knife SOG sharp that sets us apart from the rest.
