Built for those who want a dependable folder without breaking the bank, the SOG Flash FL Folding Knife delivers a clean, all-metal package at a price point that makes it one of the most accessible EDC options in SOG's lineup. The drop point blade runs 8.6cm (3.4") in 8Cr13MoV stainless steel with a stonewash finish, sitting at a Rockwell hardness of 56-59 HRC — a solid performer for everyday cutting tasks that holds an edge well under regular use. At just 150g (5.3 oz) and closing down to 11.4cm (4.5"), it carries comfortably in the pocket all day without bulk or fatigue. Whether you're reaching for it on the worksite, in the field, or around camp, the Flash FL is the kind of knife you grab without thinking twice.

SOG Flash FL Folding Knife Key Features

  • Blade Steel: 8Cr13MoV stainless steel at 56-59 HRC offers a practical balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of resharpening — ideal for a working EDC knife that sees regular use.
  • Drop Point Blade: An 8.6cm (3.4") drop point profile with a flat grind and plain edge gives a versatile, controllable cutting geometry suited to a wide range of everyday tasks.
  • Stonewash Finish: The stonewash treatment reduces surface friction, helps mask minor scuffs and scratches over time, and gives the blade a low-profile appearance.
  • All-Metal Construction: Both blade and handle are stainless steel, with a textured grip surface providing purchase without adding unnecessary weight or bulk. Closed length is 11.4cm (4.5"), overall length is 20.2cm (7.97").
  • Blade Thickness: At 2.8mm thick, the blade strikes a balance between rigidity and slicing performance without feeling overly chunky in hand.
  • Frame Lock: A steel-on-steel frame lock mechanism engages directly against the blade tang for a secure, rattle-free lockup during use.
  • Thumb Stud Opening: A thumb stud on the blade spine allows smooth, reliable one-handed deployment without requiring any special technique or training.
  • Reversible Deep-Carry Pocket Clip: The included clip sits the knife deep in the pocket for a low-profile carry, and can be repositioned to suit left or right-hand preference.
  • Weight: 150g (5.3 oz) — substantial enough to feel solid in hand, light enough to forget about until you need it.

The SOG Flash FL is a straightforward, no-nonsense EDC folder that earns its place on the belt or in the pocket through reliable construction and honest value. For anyone after a capable all-metal knife that won't demand constant attention or a significant outlay, this is a strong starting point.

What is the blade made from and how hard is it?

The SOG Flash FL uses an 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade with a hardness rating of 56–59 HRC. This is a practical, corrosion-resistant steel that holds a working edge well for everyday tasks. The stonewash finish helps mask minor scratches and reduces glare, making it a solid choice for an entry-level EDC knife.

How big is the SOG Flash FL when folded and when open?

Folded, the knife measures 11.4 cm (4.5 inches), making it compact enough for a pocket. When open, it extends to 20.2 cm (7.97 inches) overall, with a 8.6 cm (3.4 inch) drop point blade. At 150 grams, it has a solid feel without being overly heavy for daily carry.

What locking mechanism does the Flash FL use and how secure is it?

The Flash FL uses a frame lock mechanism, which provides a steel-on-steel lock-up directly from the handle itself. This is a reliable, widely trusted system for folding knives that keeps the blade securely open during use. The all-stainless steel construction means the lock engages firmly without flex or play.

Can the pocket clip be repositioned to suit left-handed carry?

Yes, the Flash FL features a reversible, deep-carry pocket clip that can be configured to suit different carry preferences. Deep-carry positioning keeps the knife sitting low in the pocket, making it more discreet and comfortable for everyday use. One-handed opening via the thumb stud works conveniently from a pocket draw.
